Huw Stephens: "I've got to get the laverbread!"

Checkout Confessions

Available for over a year

Radio presenter Huw Stephens joins Matt Tebbutt as he dives into a proudly Welsh shopping basket. Huw shares his family's Christmas Eve tradition of scampi and laverbread, and defends this national delicacy against Matt's criticisms for the salty seaweed. He reveals how a trip to Texas sparked an omelette obsession that he brought home with him. He champions frozen parathas as the ultimate lockdown discovery, and makes a heartfelt case for Vimto as the king of fizzy pops. Huw talks Welsh treats like bara brith, his switch to non-alcoholic tipples, and his friend's Canary Islands mojo sauce that makes absolutely everything better! Matt tries to sell him on pressure cookers, and they bond over air fryer scepticism turned love. Click subscribe to make sure you don't miss an episode of Checkout Confessions.
