Lewis Bassett speaks to Diane Purkiss about her new book 'English Food: A People's History'.
We talk about what English food is, how and when English food became bland, why Elizabeth David is a food snob, why we fear GMOs and how what we eat in England is so deeply interwoven with our social class.
Diane Purkiss is a professor of English Literature at Oxford University. Her book 'English Food' is out now.
