Listen on

Episode notes

Welcome to HOOVERING, the podcast about eating. Host, Jessica Fostekew (Guilty Feminist, Motherland) has a frank conversation with an interesting person about gobbling; guzzling; nibbling; scoffing; devouring and wolfing all up… or if you will, hoovering. This week I’m hoovering with beautiful artist, writer and broadcaster Scottee. What a bright, funny and BRILLIANT soul they are. We get into everything from Catholic guilt, expectations of fat people right through to sausages in hot cross buns. Yeah. It’s a LOVELY one.  Everything written below in CAPITALS is a link to the relevant webpage.  Honourable Mentions If you don’t already follow them online Scottee is on Instagram as SCOTTEEISFAT and that’s where you’ll see all the work he has for you to see and love and buy. And if you CLICK HERE you can buy his book, Class, through his website. I’m sometimes doing liquid hoovering LIVES over on INSTAGRAM with former hoovering guests. Make sure you’re following the INSTAGRAM and TWITTER for @thehooveringpod to be sure not to miss one. They stay in my Insta stories for 24 hours after they’re up as well. I’m in this next series of QI - wahoo! Recorded before lockdown, thank fuck.  If you have any spare dollar in your life the first thing I’d like you to do with it is give it to either a food bank like the TRUSSELL TRUST. If after giving to them you’ve still got more spare dosh to give a month I’m on this great site called PATREON where I swap your money for ace podcast related stuff like totally exclusive content and guest recipes. It’ll help me keep the podcast not just alive, but also thriving. Thanks so so so much if you’ve become a patron recently and/ or stuck with me since the beginning of this.  The beetroot daal recipe I was wolfing for brunch was from Nigel Slater’s GREENFEAST AUTUMN/ WINTER The DEEPLY PROBLEMATIC book we talked about not for the first time on the podcast is FAT IS A FEMINIST ISSUE but be warned, as interesting as it is as a sort of Mona Lisa of books where everyone thinks they’re getting looked at, at its core it’s horribly fat-phobic.  Scottee’s granddad worked for FINDUS If you’re from outside the UK you might not know about COLIN THE CATERPILLER but he’s a birthday staple here.  He talked about some amazing sounding Irish food BARMBRACK, a CODDLE and of course the mighty SPICE BAG I bigged up the glorious ALISON SPITTLE And last but not least he was a bit rude about the bread in SUBWAY and we both declared our love feelings about WAHACA
