Transcript
James, huge news from the world of off-menu and indeed the world of the world.
Yes.
Ever heard of the Royal Albert Hall?
I have.
We've done live shows there.
And guess what?
We're doing more live shows there next year.
Sure, a lot of them are sold out already.
But we thought, hey, throw these guys a bone.
Let's put on one final Royal Albert Hall show in that run.
The show will be on Monday, the 16th of March.
It's going to be a tasting menu, a returning guest coming back, receiving the menu of another previous guest.
Those shows have been a lot of fun.
We cannot wait to do them live.
Who will we pull out of our little magic bag?
You'll have to come along on the 16th of March to find out.
If I'm correct in thinking, presale tickets go on pre-sale on the 10th of September.
Pre-sale tickets are 10th of September at 10 a.m.
And then the general sale is 12th of September at 10 a.m.
So if you miss out on the pre-sale, don't forget general sale is only two days later.
The day in between is for reflecting.
Get your tickets from royalalberthall.com Hall.com or offmenupodcast.co.uk.
And we're back live during a flex alert.
Oh, we're pre-cooling before 4 p.m., folks.
And that's the end of the third.
Time to send it back to 78 from 4 to 9 p.m.
What a performance by Team California.
The power is ours.

Nish Kumar, In Your Nature to Destroy Yourselves, Friday, 19th of March, parts one and two, on all streaming and download platforms.
Welcome to the Off-Menu Podcast, where we dip hot and crispy chat into cool humour.
Hello, James.
Hello, Ed Gamble.
My name is James Acaster.
Yes, full name, James Acaster.
Full name James William Bartholomew Acaster.
Oh,
not far off.
Not far off.
William's right, isn't it?
Yeah.
Now I'm trying to remember.
Now, you have a funny middle name.
I have an amusing middle name.
I've got two, actually, now.
Yes, I'm very annoyed that I can't remember them because I think that one of them is funny.
Have you seen my hit show Blood Sugar, James?
I have seen your hit show Blood Sugar and your very funny routines about your father and him giving
you and your siblings bad middle names.
I'm a member that his cat is called Mutabi.
Matatabi, close.
Matatabi.
Oh, shit.
Matatabi.
That's even funnier.
Now, see if you can guess my middle names.
Benito loves guessing games.
He loves guessing games.
I feel like it's something...
Like you're named after some soldier.
Or is it like your sister's middle name?
That's my sister's one.
I'm just gonna reveal what it is.
My middle name's Stevenson.
So, anyway, anyway, this is not a names podcast, James, is it?
No, no, it's a food podcast.
We have a guest into the dream restaurant, and we ask them what their favourite ever starter main course, dessert, side dish, and drink is.
And people get annoyed that I say it in the wrong order, but you know what?
I don't care.
He doesn't care.
The guy couldn't care less.
And this week, our guest is
Rosie Jones.
Rosie Jones.
She is a wonderful stand-up, a soon-to-be-published children's author, author, which is hilarious because, as you'll hear, she is a very rude lady.
Yep.
She has a wonderful podcast of her own called Daddy Look at Me with Helen Bauer.
Yes, she does.
We've both been guests on that, so go and check that out.
It's about the things you used to do when you were a kid, when you used to show off to try and get your parents' affection, etc.
It's very, very funny.
Go and check that out.
But
James, even though she has all of those wonderful things and she's such a wonderful comedian, if she has a secret ingredient, which we don't like, we will kick her out of the restaurant and the secret ingredient this week is rose water rose water
we don't need that shit thank you oh i mean it just i don't see the point in it the flavour's just a bit nothing i'd rather have normal water to be honest it's like having a bit of bath water get into your mouth yeah yeah that is exactly what it's like so i'm all for kicking rosie out if she says it if she says it she's getting out i s i suspect that she won't say rose water i'm gonna put it out there i've she's never given me a rose water vibe, to be honest.
You know, no, but who?
Yeah, we couldn't resist it.
Her name's Rosie.
Her name is Rosie, that's true.
So, actually, even if she orders any water, technically, she's ordered Rosie water, which she's out for that, right?
Fair enough.
Yeah, let's kick her out for that.
All right, cool.
Well, here is the off-menu menu of Rosie.
Rosie Jones.
Rosie Jones.
Rosie Jones, welcome to the Dream Restaurant.
This is the first time we've had a guest where you can hear them being excited before I've said anything.
Welcome, Rosie Jones, to the Dream Restaurant.
We've been expecting you for some time.
Say, I heard a rumor
that you had banned me.
Yes.
Who did you hear that rumour from?
You
I'm the guy who said that I mean
I've been waiting
I've been in that queue
for years
and every
time
I get near to the door
you shoot it Yes.
Why?
Why do you hate me?
It's a good question.
James is the one who's clearly banned you.
I wasn't aware of this arrangement.
Does this come from you, James?
Yes, I banned Rosie.
Yeah,
I think she's disruptive.
We try to keep a quiet restaurant here where everyone can just relax.
She's very disruptive.
She's a bully on occasion.
I'd say she's a bully.
No,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no.
Yeah, it's not making you sound like a bully at all, Rosie.
I am not a bully.
I build
characters.
That's what you're doing.
I get it, right?
Okay.
Yeah.
So, James, were you worried that Rosie was going to build our characters too much if we weren't going to just do that?
I don't like that we're building characters in the dream restaurant.
And I thought she was going to come in and try and build our characters.
And also, I was worried that I thought banner now before she gets on because I reckon if Rosie said the secret ingredient, I think she would refuse to leave if we tried to kick her out the restaurant.
Oh, yeah, we could never think.
Now she's in, she's we're not getting rid of her.
No, the palaver on her hands.
I brought my suitcase
and I'm here to stay.
Well, isn't she gonna live here now?
Yeah, become part of the whole world.
Yeah, every time we have a guest on, yeah, we're gonna have to give her a job.
Yeah, what what job would you like?
Well, can that be the doorman?
No, no, because you you seem to just want to refuse people, you're just there saying no, no, no, no, no all the time.
You sure?
No,
yeah,
because
I want it to be
my restaurant.
Like,
why
does
anyone else
need to come in?
I'm here though.
You can just
cook for me
all day,
every day.
I mean, you really are missing.
You're missing out if you're just listening to this, which you are because we don't release a video.
But the gesture Rosie did when she said, cook for me all day, every day.
I mean, it was like watching a four-year-old girl at a princess party, just going,
and
yeah, you
pull aloft, but both your hands in the air, and you stuck your bum out to the side and did a little
squidge motion, a squidge motion-that's what it was.
Yeah, squished her whole body together like that.
Yeah, that's what she keeps doing.
You want to be the bouncer and stop everyone else getting in, so you can eat all the food, yeah, right.
I mean,
what's your problem with that?
See, I mean, immediately, this is like you know, justifying my decision.
Oh,
maybe
we could do a takeaway
thing
up
under
bouncer.
People come to the door,
say what they want,
and then
we make it,
I eat it,
and then I tell
them if it's good or bad.
Right.
It doesn't seem like a great takeaway, I'll be honest.
So the takeaway is that they know if it's nice or not.
The main takeaway from this is that you're a bully.
Oh, they say,
how could I be a bully?
I'm a little dear chapel crazy.
Right.
How long did that take?
How long did that take for that to be the excuse?
It's a secret ingredient
and the printed tables.
Yeah.
The secret ingredient is disability.
Unfortunately, you've got to leave the restaurant now.
Goodbye.
Oh,
I'm very
happy to be here.
We're very happy to have you here.
Despite James trying to ban you, I think it's going to be a good one.
I'm looking forward to hearing your menu, Rosie.
You like your food?
You're a foodie?
Oh my
God.
I love food
so much.
So much.
So
much
that January,
my
first word
was
all
gone
and I only
started speaking
because I ran out of food
and I needed to say all gone
which meant
more
get your shit together
and get me more
fucking tooth
Rosie, I'll tell you something, and this is true.
My first words were all gone as well.
What?
Yeah.
Yeah, I used to hold up the plate
or like tip it upside down and I would say, all gone, like that.
And that was my, that's my first words.
Oh, my God, James.
Do you know what mine were?
What?
Poached salmon.
That's not true.
It was food-based, though.
It was hot.
Oh, I had something hot, and I went hot, hot.
Oh, did you?
Yeah.
That's quite cute.
I am quite cute.
I'm an absolute cutie pie, actually.
No, no.
No, no, no.
Too far.
And then my
first
sentence
was
actually
quite
complicated.
It was,
shall we all
go to McDonald's?
Is that a good idea?
Rosie, I absolutely don't believe that, that your first sentence was that many words and so specific.
Well, it was,
we go McDonald.
That good idea.
Right, now we're getting to the bottom of this line.
It wasn't, shall we go to McDonald's?
Is that a good idea?
It was we go to McDonnell.
That good idea.
We go McDonnell, that's a good idea.
I mean, of all the
abbreviations for McDonald's I've ever heard, I think McDonald is my favorite.
Yep.
Be adopting that.
Yeah.
And
so to that,
it's always,
yes,
it is
a good idea
to go to McDonald
all day, every day.
Unless you're going with me, and then you might get angry.
Yeah, James's McDondon order is absolutely awful.
I said McDongdong.
That's not the same place.
That's a different place.
But that is always a good idea to go to McDongdong.
Was your McDondon order?
Diet Coke.
Starting with the drink.
So that should tell you how bad it is that he starts by telling you the drink.
Diet Coke.
Grilled chicken wrap and a bag of carrots.
Initially laughed, now angry.
The catchphrase has come back.
It's a McNono for Rosie.
Carrots.
Yeah, carrots.
What's your McDonald order?
Actually,
controversial.
I mean, it's not as
fucking word as it.
But you know what?
I like as chicken selects.
It comes in freeze or fives.
So obviously let's say I get ten.
Ten chickens select
and
bag of chips.
Matt Fuller.
That's it.
That's more of a standard McDonald order, but you're right, it's still quite weird.
I don't know why, what's wrong with a Big Mac or a quarter pound of a cheese?
What's wrong with you people?
I mean, we're going ahead of the game
but
I don't like Bradfield.
What is the point of Brad you
get in
nothing
give
me more meat
That's all I need
Brad
Volkoff Alright, I knew that was coming.
Well, let's start with still a sparkling water and then we're gonna delve into this bread situation a little bit more.
I've been
I've been burnt by this
a bit for
tap.
You should give
me a better tap water
cause I don't trust you.
You're a sneaky bugger.
You're gonna go still
shabby
and I say stick
and then you slap on
a 30-pound water bill.
No,
patch me a tap
and
do it for myself.
You are a sneaky bugger, James.
Well, yeah, well, for a second, there, I thought, like, I'd done something to Rosie in the past, and it was still a sparkling water that I'd forgotten about.
I tricked her and gone, like, do you want to steal a sparkling water, Rosie?
And then come back with some massive trick, massive prank.
I don't even know what it would be.
But you mean waiters in general?
Yeah, waiters in general.
I once spent £40
on water.
What?
£40.
Where?
It was the Lowry
Hotel.
We went for
New Year's Eve one time
for a
slap up mail.
10 pounder bloody bottles.
Shandow
wherever I go, I'm like tap,
tap.
That's it.
Hello, tap.
Cold tap or hot tap?
Cold.
Cold.
And yeah,
sparkling water is the devil.
I hate it.
You could
not pay me to drink it.
What was that?
What is it?
What is it?
What
it fizzes
for no reason.
Well, I don't think it fizzes for no reason, Rosie.
What do you mean it fizzes for no reason?
There's bubbles in it.
It's fizzy because it's got carbon dioxide in it.
No,
no, no.
I do sort of agree with you that when you really think about sparkling water, there's no purpose for it.
It doesn't really, it's not exciting.
Like coke and stuff is exciting because it's all sweet and delicious and bubbly and it feels like a Willy Wonka thing.
Yeah.
Sparkling water, not no, not at all.
What kind of a tap do you want me to use when I'm getting your tap water?
What's your favourite tap design?
Oh,
oh,
this is such a great question.
It isn't, but thanks.
You know what?
I like cold to go.
I like my heart and my cold
to be separate.
So you know what you're getting.
None of that swingy bullshit.
No.
Because
sometimes you don't know what you get.
Now, I want an individual
cold one.
Lit
screw it,
pour it,
screw it back.
Lovely glass and cold one.
You know what I say?
I'd say key
keep and separate
and you like the screw taps as opposed to the push-you-pull ones
or motion sensor.
No,
no,
no,
not a motion sensor.
Don't you ever, ever assume
that you know when I want water
I want to be in control but yeah i think you're in control of the motion sensors though they don't start running water when you move like 50 meters away you have to like wave it over the thing
yeah but sometimes
they stop
too soon
you think you're in control but actually
the tap
controls you
We've got a little sink with one of those like waterfall taps where the top of the tap is like missing deliberately.
So you see it come out and then it like falls off the edge.
But we very rarely use it.
So every time you turn it on, it basically coughs a load of water at you.
And it's exactly the height of my dick.
So whenever I try and wash my hands in there, I come out looking like I've pissed myself.
Great.
Big gosh,
you have.
Because I have, but it's actually a very convenient fault to have.
Pop it absorbed
you know this
every
single day of their work
give me that popped on
oh
oh
it should crack
a love it crack love it
a crack you
what's your problem with bread because bread is delicious by itself.
You can have amazing bread, put some butter on it, lovely, a lovely sandwich, Rosie Jones.
What about a lovely sandwich?
Now
you said
a sway word to me
because
I literally like
all food.
I do.
I do like bread,
but on my terms.
But the only thing I do not and will not eat is
butter.
No.
What?
So
I don't do
any type of butter.
But of course you do.
It's in loads of stuff.
Well I eat it, but I can't see it.
But in terms of butter on bread
now,
dry
bread,
dry cracker,
cause I find it too greasy.
Absolutely not.
I do like bread,
but I don't like white bread,
buns, rats,
sweet bread,
I love
butter,
That's white bread.
I love a French
stick.
Yeah, white bread.
So I love anything with
a little bit of a crunch.
But no,
white bread.
Absolutely.
Go for yourself.
Yeah, all of those things you said were white bread.
Well, no, I know what mosi means.
Sliced white bread that's all, you know,
sugared up and made in a
bad sliced white bread.
I only very, very, maybe once a year, I think.
I'd really like some just shit toast.
No.
No, no, I know.
I know.
Popper dumbs are bad.
All my pot badums.
What dips are you going for with your poppa dums?
And how are they less messy than butter?
I like all the dips on one pot of them.
So you're talking
mango chocolate
right there
and a red one.
What's a red one?
It's really hot, isn't it?
The hot the hottest one.
Yeah.
So when you cook but you need to eat it quickly before
it goes soggy
and eating it quickly
means a lot of then dips
go
in your eyebrow.
Straight in the eyebrow,
obviously.
No, I think it's mostly on the cheek area,
but you do get some
black back.
In an Indian restaurant, you must be the only person who actually uses the hot towels they bring at the end.
Now, you missed out some classic dips there, but the lime pickle is the one that people will be most.
No, don't like it.
Don't like it, Jim Bob.
It's a bit too hot
and it's a bit too chunky.
I got a jar of lime pickle for Christmas, my main present for my parents this year.
They bought you a jar of lime pickle.
They were cleaning out their cupboards in November.
The Christmas just gone.
That was my main present for my mum and dad was a jar of lime pickle.
Why don't they like you?
I have to ask them.
I mean, good question.
Yeah.
Basically,
with me having several palsy,
I try
to eat them retires
because that's how I find
my true friends.
Whenever I want to test
someone's loyalty,
I would take them to a restaurant
and all
Ribs
Because if you're willing to sit there and watch it a do
with seven seven
Paul Day
eat some brilliant sticky ribs
and get them
frankly
everywhere.
We're talking
face,
trousers,
top,
shoes,
table,
waiter on your hair.
Like if you're willing to go
and
sit here
and watch
that absolute
motivation.
That's
a good
friend.
I really want to go for ribs with you now, Rosie.
Because look, I get messy eating ribs as well.
But I feel like if I was with you, I'd also feel a bit more comfortable in just really letting loose and we could just go absolutely rib crazy.
That's the thing, Warner.
I just
do not give a shit.
I mean, if there was ever a statement that someone didn't have to make.
Let's get on to your starter, Rosie.
How messy is this?
Actually,
not messy at all.
I think you're gonna hate me
because
I need to warn you
that
I won't be here for about 12 hours
because
I like
eating
slowly.
Surprise, surprise.
I'd love if they brought back surprise, surprise, and Rosie was the host.
Oh, Rosie, please, if you could host a reboot of surprise, surprise, that is good.
Oh my
god.
But between
the first surprise and the second surprise,
everyone will get
the surprise to me.
So, my
starter,
um,
I think it'll take me about three hours
to eat,
and it's just
crush
your talk
and
toy glutch
you just have poppa dumps
also Rosie you st you started we started this interview by you saying oh my god I love food I'm such a foodie and your starter is and I and I quote just crisps
just crisps
but lay
i don't think you want this standard
to get your love
okay sorry take us through again okay
toy goods
fingers
bacon ratches
then little
onion rings
show
and finigan sticks
I want peanuts as well,
peanuts,
cushion,
I want then cheese,
straws,
oh, I want hula,
I want derito
of every
flavor.
I want nicknuts,
but I
need a barbecue
rib
version
I want their crinkly
mini cheddars I don't want walkers
because I feel like I can get walkers
anywhere You can show any of those things you've said anywhere every single thing you've said you can get in the same shop you can get the walkers yeah Yeah, you're not travelling to Calais for the rest of the mile.
You've just ordered a load of bar stacks,
this is now, you know, you did the move earlier.
This is now the four-year-old girl demanding what Chris she wants at her princess party.
But
it's more about
the
environment
and just the fact that I'm there and grazing, and eating
and having all my favourite snacks in one
place.
What's wrong with
that?
Do you want it all in one big bowl, Rosie, or do you want it in separate bowls?
No!
I want to be in...
Oh, wait, did I say pretzels?
No, I don't.
I mean, you said everything else, but yeah, yeah, maybe
you missed pretzels.
I think you missed out pretzels and pork scratchings, and that was it.
No,
Jim, Jim Bob, I don't want
porch scratchings.
I want pretzels.
I want to be in control of
where I dip.
So
now,
in one ball, you're gonna
get the
cheesy de ritos
on the toy draw more months of cheesy toy drago.
Actually, it sounds quite nice now you've said that.
Melted cheese and marmite
cheese and marmite, yeah.
I imagine you rosie with like 50 bowls all lined up in front of you on the table and you're dipping in and going back and forth really quickly.
Uh, and it's like you know, when you see people people with loads of glasses with different amounts of water in, and they play it like an orchestra.
I see you playing the snacks like a water glass orchestra.
Yes.
See,
this is also
a question
because
I hope
that in your restaurant you're able to provide
me
with
a table
that looks a bit like a donut.
So, ideally,
I want to sit
in the middle and have a table
surrounding me.
So, I get three
sixty
swivel.
So, I'm like
got that.
No, you didn't say what sits.
Red Watsit shall be hanging to me
and I got every
bring go
lined up
in front of me.
Do you want the table to rotate like a lazy Susan around you or do you want to spin round on your chair in the middle?
or do you want both to spin round and you see what happens?
Oh my god, please again, the table rotate.
Do you want to be in charge of how the table rotates, or do you want it sort of slowly going round so you can just like pick as it goes around a bit like a yo sushi belt?
Converter belt?
No, no, Ed.
How do you not know literally about me?
I need to be in control.
I need to control
every little detail
of one
and where
the table
rotates.
Yes.
And please,
please, about
every
20 minutes,
you'll surprise me
with a different
snack.
So I'm always
excited.
Did you say quavers?
Did you mention quavers?
I
mentioned a quaver,
but
bring the quavers
but only
cheese.
Don't bring me that prone cocktail shit.
Okay.
Now, I'll be honest with you, Rosie, this doesn't, this is not my sort of starter.
I like nuts.
I like the nuts element.
That's great.
I think I might be a bit of a crisp snob, you know.
I don't like quavers, Watsits, Twiglets,
the chipsticks.
I don't like any of that.
I like proper, like, my favourite crisps here, Rosie, are Torres Black Truffle Potato Crisps.
Oh, for Kras.
They are phenomenal.
Have you had them?
No, Bray Coach.
I'm not a pretentious
prick.
Well, I am.
I'm happy to be a pretentious prick if I can sit there with a big bowl of black truffle crisps, munch it away all day long.
Yum, yum, yum.
Oh my god.
Space invaders.
Yep.
I've had that one lined up to ask.
A big bowler space.
Do you mean space raiders?
Raiders,
not
raiders.
Weirdly, even though, like, you know,
we've talked about a lot of crisps, there are still some ones I'd like to ask you about and see if you like them or not.
This one often gets forgotten, I'd say.
I'd say you only remember these crisps, it even exists when you see them, but yet they're one of the most common ones.
Squares.
No, no.
Oh, you're right.
Honestly,
earlier today,
a little voice in my head was like
squash
and I went no no
they taste of nothing
no
that's fair enough.
Well how do you think they've kept going that long?
Because they're no one's favourite crisps right?
Because they've always are not fair.
I think parents
who hate their kids
buy them.
Really, we should move on and talk about your main course.
I mean, oh God, I've just remembered this is your starter.
I was sat here going, oh, we really should move on.
We haven't had Rosie's starter yet.
In the back of my mind, thinking, it can't be just crisps.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What?
What?
AC wrong word for that.
What I like about it is when I'm saying that it's a controversial choice of starter, you look at me as if as if how can anyone not pick just crisps for a starter?
It's the only choice for a starter is just loads of crisps.
Honestly,
I'm a fan of the poll cats, but I'm not listening to them all.
I'm when I pick this
as I always
notice
someone else must have done just crisps, it must be every other episode.
How
have you ever done just
crisps?
I don't think yet we've had anyone say, for my starter, I would like to eat crisps for three hours.
I don't think we've had that yet.
No.
I thought it was for three hours.
It is yours so lovely because
you never get bored.
You never get full.
You just revolve in that table
and crunching those sweet sweet crisp bits
what have I
never
gone into a restaurant
and been able to order
just a shitload of crisps
well maybe throughout your meal we might surprise you every now and again with a packet of different crisps and see what you think.
Oh my gosh, that has been incredible.
Can I get a different
crish?
French one
each.
Yeah.
For you, we'll do that.
Absolutely.
We've never done that before in off-menu, but yes, for you, Rosie, we'll give you a different crisp in between each cock.

So, we come to your main course, which I imagine is
a load of chocolate bars, what we're talking about now.
I think you'll
meet that, John.
Because
again,
I want to grab
show
and stay in with the revolving table.
But I am having
tat patch
just
everybody's meal.
You're talking
potatoes, brat patch.
I love a little bread, I love a little panton tomato,
I love a lot of seafood.
I like chippy rules,
which is
moony octopus.
I love bolt rones,
which is sardines.
I love our bandigats,
which is meatballs.
That's so good.
I love charito.
I love have all the hams.
All the hams.
I'll have all the cheeses.
Cause I'm being sneaky.
And I was
gonna have cheese for pudding.
Don't have me.
Obviously, I do.
But now I can have a cheese section
behind me.
It's behind you.
All the man care
in the world.
Yeah, my
nana is Spanish.
So you could just
rope her
pork
in the kitchen
and she'll cook her brilliant.
Certainly in my eyes, Rosie, I feel like you might have redeemed yourself from the Just Crisps situation.
I absolutely love all of that.
I love Spanish food.
Albundigas, especially, those meatballs are absolutely incredible.
So great.
Tell me, you didn't mention croquetas.
Oh my god.
How did
that annotate
so
you can get meat fish or veg
croquettes.
I think I'll go for
some mushroom croquettes
because I got enough
meat
and seafood
at either side of me.
So I just put the croquetas
in their little
arc
in front.
How do you Rosie Jones handle going to a tapas restaurant with other people?
Great question.
You need to go with the right
person.
So you need to go with someone that you're on the same level with.
You know
that it flesh pretty
on the table.
You should
know in your heart or parts that you are getting
too oblivious.
Shit
kicks off
a bad bad one
and that
another
person
goes in for the third.
Then
I get nasty.
What what sort of shit kicks off?
I start
being a little passive aggressive.
I honestly can't even imagine that
any level of passive from Rosie Jones is an unimaginable situation.
I'll go.
Um, oh
that
for me,
I feel
they had
one obligation,
one,
but
if you think that's yours,
go ahead.
And usually
they do
back
up and shit themselves.
But if they
go, oh, I haven't been counted
and go, well I have,
and that's your life.
My girlfriend is the perfect person for me to go to tap us with because she loves food, she loves all the stuff we order.
We always over-order, but then she fills up quite quickly, so she'll have a taste of everything.
And then I go into, then I really start eating.
I'm ground sweeping, then I'm just annihilating everything that's left.
so
the best of words I can hear is someone going
I'm done
it's all yours
because then
all
holding me back
I'm going
yeah their catchphrase is I'm done and your catchphrase is all gone
perfect viewer
basically we're all we're all divided into one of two categories: it's all gone or I'm done.
And you need to pair up.
If you're an all-gone, you need to pair up with an I'm done to go to Tampa.
Yeah.
I mean,
it flashed that I'm done
out there,
who's a little gay lady
looking for
a disabled
human hooper
who
almost
always
had some ribs
in their eyebrows.
Come get me.
Yeah, what a great dating advert this is.
Disabled, all gone, seeks little gay lady, I'm done.
I may get a t-shirt.
Oh, and as we get to the end of that main course, I just bought over for you a lovely packet of salt and vinegar discos.
Oh
my
god,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's really
good.
Yeah, but
I mean we talked about snacks a lot, but I don't think
I emphasize
how much I I like salt and vinegar.
No, you didn't.
So you
absolutely nailed it.
So when I was a kid, salt and vinegar was my favourite and cheese and onion was my least favourite.
I like cheese and onion now but I definitely thought it was either or.
Me too.
I'm the other way around.
Guys, it's because you're look you two are you two are both all gone.
First one was all gone.
You love salt and vinegar, hate cheese and onion.
I was all about the cheese and onion, baby.
Any way to get more cheese into my system when I was a little boy
stinky
durkee bog.
Ah, Rosie, how did you feel about this?
This is my first real big, like, you know, it's very confusing for me as a kid when they, when walkers swapped the colours of salt and vinegar and cheese and onion.
They swapped the green and the blue.
I mean, they shouldn't adorn that should they
to me always
salt and vinegar is blue and cheese and onion is green.
Yeah.
It makes sense doesn't it because onion should be green right in my head.
Yeah and salt
from the sea is supposed.
There you go
and I hate to just keep talking about crisps but I have really got drawn into Rosie's crisp chat I'm afraid Ed
and it's just nice to hear someone shout we can do it look i try i try i tried to chip in i tried to chip in with my opinions of tores tores black truffle crisps but i was roundly shouted down they do an iberico ham flavor as well no you can't call me
you're some bullshit crisp
that no one's ever heard of are you kidding me they're so popular at my local shop when they get new shipments in they don't advertise it because they know they're going to get a ruckoff.
I went down there the other day.
There were none left on the shelf.
I had to go around to another aisle and I found the boxes and I opened a box and got three bags out and bought them.
Oh my god, did they take it here?
It says the lady's sitting in the middle of the rotating table for the crisps.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Benito saved a screenshot.
Ah, so this is the question.
Why did you switch the colours of salt and vinegar and cheese and onion flavour walkers crisps?
We're often asked this: our salt and vinegar and cheese and onion flavor crisp packs have always been the colours they are today.
Contrary to popular belief, we've never swapped the colours around, not even temporarily.
We've no plans to change these designs.
So, you guys have invented something happening.
Bullshit.
They're bullshit.
Yeah, they are bullshit.
It was a massive thing.
I love that Acast has finally turned into a conspiracy theorist, and of course, it's crisp-based.
Yeah, of course, this is what's got me.
Let's go on to your side dish to accompany all the tapas you've just had.
Here we go, crisps.
I may unrespect it.
This was happy because
technically all my ditches
are sad dishes.
So I decided to go different
and something you don't get in a tat patch restaurant, really.
I'm having a cigarette.
It was the only thing left behind the bar at the pub you roaded for your starter.
No,
no, no.
They said a pop
cigot cake.
Got you.
We're talking
Ronald
Big Shortsage of villain.
Oh,
maybe
two tapes and reaped in that short sides.
And just
a nice
crutch
crumby
south side.
Which is called breading, Rosie.
I don't know if you know that.
It's called breading.
And you've already, you said you don't like bread.
So, unfortunately, we're not going to be able to give you that.
We're giving you a scotch egg with crushed-up poppadoms around the outside.
You never bought them.
Oh, no, I walked into it.
I would
make it quick.
You did that to Shabbat.
Correct.
And actually,
Yes, Shabla said, Edward.
That sounds lovely.
This is the menu, the only menu that we've ever had where I don't want to like it, but
I like it a lot.
And
a hot scotch egg with a runny yolk in it.
Yeah.
With two types of meat in the...
I do like that.
I mean, this is great.
I would personally choose...
you know, pork and probably black pudding,
I would like as my two types of meat.
what would you have yeah
that's what I had because I think the black pudding with the pork oh and driply you're thinking about it yeah pork black pudding runny yoke pop a dump
on the outside
i love posh scotch eggs like like proper big posh scotch eggs with runny middle.
So good.
When I was first properly getting into food, like I was just discovering restaurants and all excited about it.
I went to meet my friend at a restaurant called the Harwood Arms, which is like a gastro pub.
And he was half an hour late and I was really angry about it.
And then the man, the waiter came over and went, while you're waiting, we do scotch eggs.
We're quite famous for our scotch eggs.
Would you like a scotch egg with a drink?
And I had a big scotch egg and a pint of lager.
And the evening went downhill when my friend arrived.
I've never been happier than I was with that scotch egg and a point of lager.
Now Rosie, I can tell you what crisp I've got you, or
I've actually got them right here.
So what I could do, little game, I could turn my camera off and I could crunch the crisp and you can guess from the sound what crisp it is.
Never been happier.
Never seen her happier than this.
I love
games so actually
it people can play games with me
throughout the meal that will be all here we go putting my camera off you can't see me
that's the sound of the bag here we go a single crisp
very nice i think this is what people imagine off menu is if they've not heard it.
I'll be very impressed if you get this, Rosie.
I'm going to put my camera back on now.
I think it was a big crunch,
but not just that.
I think it was a thick
crunch.
So I'm going to say...
Monster Munch.
Interesting.
Ed?
I was honestly going to say Monster Munch as well.
I think that's what it sounded like to me.
But then also I thought,
why hasn't Rosie said Monster Munch yet?
Why is that not on her revolving table?
So I'm also going to go with Monster Munch.
Okay.
If you're listening at home, now's your time to pause the podcast, make a guess yourself.
The answer is pop chips.
Oh!
It was pop chips.
And you know,
I should have known it was pop chips, Rosie, because I was also sent some pop chips.
But
actually,
you reminded Dodge of Munster Munch.
So
I'll keep the pop chips.
But can you also go and get me
some pickled onion munch and munch?
It is the best flavour of Monster Munch, still to this day.
Yeah.
Hot,
I do like the hot one,
but beef, no.
Beef stinks.
When Ed was a little boy, the only monster munch he could ask for was the hot one, wasn't it, Ed?
Yeah, hot, hot.
I actually, can I just say, I don't think I'm giving myself enough credit when I was a small boy.
Hot was my first word, yeah, but I was actually, I was very developed in my language skills, but I took a long time to get control of my
bladder and butt.
So my mum always says, to sum me up as a child, I could stand at the bottom of the garden and say, mother, I appear to have done a poo in my pants.

We come to Rosie Jones's dream drink.
So I think
right now, I've been there for about seven hours.
so I'm flagging a little bit
because
I am tired of
moving
the table around
so I'm gonna have
a little pet pop
I'm having a nice spresso martini
yes if anyone needs a espresso martini less it's you, Rosie.
Honestly, if I walk into, I mean, this is a long time ago now, given where we are in the world, but if I walk into a bar and I see Rosie Jones there, it's the most energetic person I could possibly expect to see.
Just like the atmosphere changes.
Rosie's screaming.
She's coming over.
She's shouting in your face.
She's excited to see you.
You are an espresso.
You are a replacement for an espresso martini for me.
The idea of you having an espresso martini, surely everyone else in the bar ends up dead.
Well,
actually,
I don't enjoy it
any day-wise.
It doesn't change anything
because
we can't get higher.
I've honestly been on the night out and had about
10 extra
martinis,
gone home slat like a baby like
no more back
how
I'm sort of the same with coffee really I could I could probably but I'd probably only do like three espresso martinis just because they were too sweet really yeah but yeah I it doesn't really affect my energy levels or or or sleep or anything does it you James Affects me.
For years Rosie, I didn't have caffeine in my diet at all and I cut it out of my diet.
And then I started like drinking diet cokes and stuff like that again, which tasted like real Coke when I started drinking it again.
And it was very weird actually.
But every now and again, I do have a coffee or something like that if I feel like I need one.
And I really do struggle.
to get to sleep later on in the day.
Yeah, it really, really affects me.
And once, the last like meal out I had was just before, so it's early 2020, and me and some friends went to Copenhagen to go to NOMA.
It was a very, very special meal.
And at the end, they gave us some like cold brew coffee kombucha
that had a bit of booze in it.
And it was so good.
And I just kept on drinking them because it was like one of the nicest drinks I'd ever had.
And I did not sleep a wink.
I was alarmed at how much it had affected me.
I felt like I'd never sleep again.
And you haven't?
And actually also, this year, all during lockdown and stuff like that, anytime I've had a little bit too much Cherry Pepsi Max or anything like that, I can't sleep at night.
Everyone else's lockdown has been like, oh, I think I'm eating too much or think I'm drinking too much booze at home.
There's sort of no way of distinguishing between the weekdays and the weekends.
I think I'm having too much.
James is like, I'm having too much Pepsi Max.
I can't sleep anymore.
I'm having too much Pepsi Max.
My mum's not here telling me to put the bottle down.
I don't speak like that, do I?
Yeah.
Effect your mail.
So I've never, ever had an espresso martini.
Oh, mate.
Don't.
Because that is a road you can't go down because they are absolutely delicious.
They're truly delicious.
We arrive at your dessert.
You've kind of put my mind at ease already by saying, you know, you're not going to have the cheese and biscuits.
You had some cheese earlier.
You had the manchester.
You've had cheese.
So I'm happy because you've had cheese, and James is happy because it's not going to be in the dessert.
Yeah, oh, although we should have given you another packet of crisps before your dessert, I've got a suggestion, James, or do you got one in the chamber?
No, I haven't really.
I was struggling.
Okay, here's one that's not been mentioned.
I think it fulfils what you like with strong flavours, Rosie, but I don't know if you like this particular flavour.
Nice and spicy knickknacks.
Yes, yes.
Yes, yes.
Because
I
mentioned
rib knitknacks earlier.
Um, I'll think they're my favourite,
but nice and should I say yes,
please.
Scampy,
no.
No.
That was the most aggressive flavour though.
It was like lemon and scampy, wasn't it?
It was really full on.
I mean I love
knick-knack,
but their flavours
are bat shit.
I had lemon scampy knick-knacks at a kid's birthday party when I was also a kid.
And I ate so much of them.
I was, because I thought they were so delicious.
And then I puked, and it was the bad, most worst puke ever.
So much regret.
You've had your hot and spicy knickknacks.
Now we come to the dessert.
I'm really worried
because
am I
moving
away from my table
absolutely not?
I
just
want
sweets.
Just some sweets.
Just some sweets, please.
I want some round worms,
some yellow babies,
some yellow beans,
some dolly matches,
some
strawberry laces,
some red brown pencils.
I want a few
chocolate things
in there.
So I want buttons
and red balls
and milk buttons
and all
keep the pretzels
and I like some chocolate pretzels.
I want some
white
mice
and yeah I want them all in individual
bowls.
Yeah.
And I want to dip
in and out.
Just stop doing that gesture like it's not the fiftieth time you've done it in the last hour, Rosie.
We know you want lots of bowls and that you want to dip in and out.
This is essentially you pretending to be an octopus for 12 hours while you're in a restaurant.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, those are all very good sweets.
They're not.
They're not.
The white mice are an absolute abomination.
They ruin this whole meal for me if you're having those white white mice.
No.
No, here's the thing, Rosie.
I was about to bring up the exact same thing.
So, you know,
we were both there thinking, when you started saying that, I'll have some, and I bet Ed went through this as well.
You went, I'll have some chocolate.
And we both thought in our heads, because you were going like quite pick and mixy up until that point.
It immediately made me think of chocolate mice.
And I thought, well, she won't choose that.
And then it'll be a subject we'll bring up afterwards.
We'll say, and Rosie, how do you feel about chocolate mice?
And she'll say she hates them because everyone does, and then we can talk about that.
So I think we're both very surprised.
Yeah, no,
I do recognize
that it is shit chocolate.
I do get that,
but that's why I like it.
It's your childhood
in a little
mouse.
I guess it is your childhood and a little mouse.
Yeah, you realised how ridiculous that was halfway through saying the word mouse there.
You thought, I've got to finish it.
Here we go.
It's your childhood and a little mouse.
See, I'm not a sweet, I'm a big chocolate guy.
I'm not a sweets guy.
Mainly because, as a type 1 diabetic, what you've basically done there is picked...
an entire circular table full of what I might need in an emergency.
You could save my life with this meal, Rosie, but I don't want to sit down and enjoy it.
Whoa,
you're...
I'm the same now because I think when I was a kid, I really overdid sweets.
I wasn't that into chocolate, but I'd go to the, there was a corner shop and also a tuck shop after Cubs.
And both of those, I went absolutely mad just buying so much sweets.
Like when I, with my pocket money for my parents, I remember when it went up to two pounds.
And I, my first question was:
Am I allowed to spend all of this on sweets?
And they said, Yes,
the best.
I was like, This is like 200 sweets from the shop.
And also,
as soon as I learned the guy couldn't be bothered to count them all, I was like, Well, obviously,
this is now the best day of my life: 500 sweets in the corner shop.
That's so great.
What was your shop growing up that you'd get all your sweets from?
I didn't have a corner shop near me.
I remember every
Saturday
we did the big shop
at Safeway
and
I do not know why but every Saturday me and my brother
would
play
a game
with the Jiff
Lemon
so
you know the lemon juice
that looks like a lemon.
We will try
to smuggle it
into
the shopping trolley
without my dad seeing
and then
the game would be to get it home
without dad knowing.
We will never
steal it,
but it will be a case of
when you was paying.
You needed to
strategically
hide it on the conveyor belt.
And then when the person
beat it through,
you needed to quickly put it in the bag without him knowing.
And every Saturday without fail,
he would be unpacking
and they'd pick the lemon.
And every
week you see him go,
I don't remember.
Just adding it to a pile of lemons.
Yeah.
When Bush had done it for about two years.
He never,
ever,
quite human.
I'm going to read your order back to you now, Rosie, and we'll see how you feel about it.
Benito's just sent through the menu to our WhatsApp group so James can read it out.

I could not

I'm glad someone is.
Everyone,
every
There's no need to do another
episode!
Thank you very much, Rosie.
Thank you, Rosie.
Thank you.
And I am
so happy.
Well, quite the menu there from Rosie.
And when I say menu, I do, of course, mean the entire contents contents of a small shop yes fair enough dream meal have a rotating table and have everything on it please I tried to challenge her on it I tried to be mean to her about it but there was she was genuine about that menu her eyes genuinely looked quite upset when I when I said that it was rubbish and I don't like sweet she was like but this is my dream menu this is my dream Yes, and she was so respectful to you about your choice of crisps.
So it's the least you could do was to return the respect.
Exactly, that's true.
She's a very respectful lady who did not say rosewater.
And we decided against kicking him out just for saying any sort of water at the start.
Yeah, no, that seemed wrong.
That seemed wrong.
But I kind of wish we had kicked her out, to be honest.
Of course,
if it turns out they do make a rosewater Maoam, she is out on her ear.
Yeah, so, you know, TBC.
Oh, by the way, the secret ingredient this week, the rosewater, was suggested on Twitter by Can Denz.
So thank you.
Thank you for that.
Can
if you want to suggest a secret ingredient, something that you don't like that you think should be a secret ingredient in the restaurant, tweet us at offmenuofficial.
Yes, please, because we cannot think of any more.
Yes, we've run out of ideas.
Initially, we
put the question out, can you tell us some secret ingredients?
And I'd say 80% of the tweets we got, and there are a lot of them, were all things we'd done previously.
There you go.
Hopefully sweet chili sauce came up a lot, the most controversial one we've ever done, but I stand by it.
No, I stand by it as well.
Absolutely.
yup horrible horrible horrible stuff oh i'll have a big pile of glue please no thank you yep that just tastes like the worst type of sugar and put that on your food what and that's james a caster saying that yeah
if there's something sweet he doesn't like it must be horrible exactly that's like winnie the poo turning down some honey uh rosie has lots of stuff going on like i say she's written a children's book yes she's also done a tv show which i think you've been on haven't you james mission accessible where rosie jones travels the uk to find the most accessible places, tourist attractions, events, everything that you could do.
She had me on one of the episodes and she left me in a cave.
Yes.
She treats us like absolute shit, doesn't she?
She treated me so badly.
I can't believe we got her on this podcast, actually.
We're such good friends
to her.
And then she comes on this podcast and she left you in a cave and she's mean about my crisps.
Yeah, okay.
Equal sadness.
Equal sadness.
Yeah, sure.
I'll go for that.
Equal sadness.
So go and check that out.
Check out Daddy Look At Me, the podcast she does with the very funny Helen Bauer.
Before we go, I'd like to say thank you to Native at Home, who sent me a lovely Cook at Home food box that I'm going to eat tonight.
So I'm very much looking forward to our cook at home meal.
And also, a little promo.
If you go to my website, jamesacaster.com, you'll now be able to find my latest show.
Well, latest show.
I filmed it in 2019.
But we've been able able to release it finally.
It's on jamesacaster.com, Cold Lazania, Hate Myself 1999.
You can go and buy the show there, and also there's a little bonus show called Make a New Tomorrow that goes along with it.
I think it's a tenor for all of it, which is like two hours and 45 minutes of comedy.
Not worth it, not worth it at all.
I've seen it.
Not worth it.
Oh, hold on a second.
I just went along with what it's no worth it.
Do get it.
It's very good.
Shout out to Dinings SW3,
who sent me an amazing duck udon kit,
which is very exciting.
It was the Susaru by Masaki Duck Udon Noodles, which I think they're releasing as a sort of limited edition thing.
And
I can't wait to have it.
Also, Ed, we have been sent quite a few cook at home boxes lately, and I really loved the bagel box from the Good Egg.
Delicious.
Man, that was so good.
I absolutely love that.
Check out the Good Egg for all your bagel and babka needs, which should be high.
My babka needs are now high.
Yeah, I've got a big loaf of babka.
I'm looking at it right now.
It's on the sofa.
It's on the sofa.
Yeah, it's just sitting on the sofa in its box, big box of babka.
Also,
thank you to Black Bear Burgers for sending me some lovely burgers.
Delicious.
Thank you very much for listening to me, Ed Gamble, and Lil Winnie over there.
We will see you again sometime soon.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Hello, there, listeners.
Can we recommend you a new podcast?
It's been going for three years, but it'll be new if you listen to it now.
My name's Stevie.
My name's Dessa.
And we host the Nobody Panic podcast, which is all about how to be a functioning adult without consistently screaming and or crying all the time.
Although crying is okay, crying is good.
Listen to our episode on how to cry at work.
It's all kinds of different how-tos from how to be creative to how to concentrate to how to begin a small talk.
Thank you, Stevie.
We bring our experience, which is sort of minor, and then we get experts in to really give the advice.
We release podcasts every Tuesday and it's on Apple Podcasts, ACAS, Spotify, basically wherever you get your podcasts, we're there.
We're there, we're ready to impart not our advice necessarily, but the advice of others to help you get through your day and your life.
Are we we selling it yet?
I'd like to say that we're much better in the podcast than we are on this advert.
Please do come over and check what we're like on the real thing.
Oh yeah you'll be pleasantly surprised.
