This is The Guardian.

A quick warning.

There is some strong language in this episode.

I'm Grace Dent and this is comfort eating from The Guardian.

A podcast where we pay homage to the lesser celebrated foods in life.

Because even as a restaurant critic, I believe the food that matters most is often that

snack you cobble together when you're curled upon the sofa.

Each week, I ask my guest to lift the lid on what comfort foods have seen

them through their lives. Because you can tell a lot about a person from what they eat behind

closed doors. Hello friends. Well, you find me putting my makeup on. It is the day after a spray tan. I finally look that magical bronzed shade. This is me at my absolute peak. Shout has to go out to Nat, by the way, signature skin. Essex is finest.

Comes around to my house every Sunday.

A rec, a tent in the living room to do this.

One of the only people on earth I can conduct a perfectly normal conversation with

while she lifts my boobs one by one and sprays the undercarriage.

Probably a little bit too much information

and nothing that my very exciting guest needs to know about.

It's the comedian Babatundee Alessi.

He'll be here in a minute.

So I'm now actually just trying to match my foundation

to the spray tan.

It is an age-old problem.

I've got to be honest, I've still got it ringing in my ears.
