Jay Rayner and the panel are at the Spa Pavilion in Felixstowe discussing brown shrimp, asparagus and food myths that need debunking.

Joining Jay to answer these kitchen questions are chefs, cooks and food writers Maria Bradford, Sophie Wright, Rob Owen Brown and food historian Dr Annie Gray.

With Felixstowe鈥檚 status as the UK鈥檚 largest container port in mind, the panellists share the global ingredients they鈥檝e discovered abroad that they now can鈥檛 live without. They also tackle practical ideas for wind鈥憄roof seaside picnics and suggest inventive new flavours for flapjacks.

Later in the show, seafood expert Mike Warner joins Jay to explore the rich history and flavour of Suffolk鈥檚 brown shrimp, with the panel offering ideas for how best to cook and serve them beyond the classic brown bread and butter.

The panellists also turn their attention to asparagus, with simple sauces and techniques to make the most of this short-lived British favourite.

Along the way, they debunk common kitchen myths, from oil in pasta water, to vinegar in poached eggs, and finish by planning the ultimate Austrian-themed feast to celebrate the Eurovision Song Contest.
