Show Notes
This special episode looks back at the Frost Fairs – wild, spontaneous festivals that repeatedly erupted on the frozen River Thames. Mark Riddaway, author of Edible Histories, gives us the history, while Tim Wilson of Ginger Pig and Andy Geddes of The Cinnamon Tree Bakery discuss the food sold at the Frost Fairs and how these historic events resonate with today’s Market traders.
