Mark Riddaway, author of the Borough Market: Edible Histories, joins Ed Smith, the man behind The Borough Market Cookbook, to explore the fascinating history of some of the everyday ingredients found on the Market’s stalls. They discuss how a Persian rhubarb trader came to predict a bright future for tea, the centrality of Italy to the history of food, and why the British were once so suspicious of the tomato.
