Can you unboil an egg? Why would you milk a spider? How much Dairy Milk would it take to kill you? Dig in now to get answers to the questions you never knew you had.

Manu is great, knows what she’s talking about and when she doesn’t know something isn’t afraid to say so. Unfortunately the rest of the show doesn’t come together as well. It’s missing the quick wits and quality research expected from a show in the QI universe. Perhaps some guests would spice things up. A comedian, historian or food scientist could be a nice addition from time to time.
yummy for my tummy and thirst for knowledge - interesting facts and recipe ideas and great chat from the hosts - a hugely welcome addition to the QI family
This is a perfect trio of curious, generous and fun hosts talking about things I forgot to think about. It’s a delight every time.
Professional production and charming hosts. If you are quite young or don’t know anything about food, you might find it interesting. If you’ve had any exposure to food and cooking media over the last 20 years, you will have already heard nearly every fact and anecdote they mention. Disappointing. I wanted to like it because of the QI and “Fish” connection.
