Making a Meal of It - ft. Lucy Dearlove

A plain ham sandwich, a bottle of still water and a pack of ready salted crisps – it's a meal (deal) fit for a King, and a Cursed Objects x Lecker collab! This week, legends in their own lunchtimes Kasia, Dan and special guest Lucy Dearlove delve into claggy sandwiches, terrible sushi and supermarket psychology and ask: what the hell is going on in Britain that our most well-known high street chemist changed the way we eat lunch?

What do your meal deal choices say about you, and what’s the most cursed meal deal of all? How have the intertwined histories of British capitalism, office work and food led us to this point - where a ham and cheese sandwich, Coke Zero Vanilla and Itsu seaweed thins is a normal lunch combination?
