Mon Feb 02 2026
Have you ever wondered why the humble crisp can spark such strong opinions, depending on where in the world you live? We all have our go-to flavours, but what makes certain tastes so popular in one country and not another? It's a tasty insight into our cultures and preferences.
In today's podcast, we'll explore the world of crisps, those tasty potato snacks we love in the UK, and how their flavours change from one country to another. You'll practise English with words like "flavour", F-L-A-V-O-U-R, which means the taste of food; "seasoning", S-E-A-S-O-N-I-N-G, the spices or powders added to make things tasty; and "staple", S-T-A-P-L-E, something essential or very common in everyday life. These words will help you talk about food and habits more easily.
