Our food comes from all over the world, but what is its real story?

  • Why are carrots orange?
  • Why do we prefer ‘peppers’ when they are not peppery?
  • Who invented fish and chips?

Academic and author Professor Mike Haynes explores the strange history of our food and the conflicts which it continues to give rise to.
