Polish food is having a moment - and who better to talk about it than Karolina Klesta, founder of Polish Foodies?

Karolina joins Peter and John to talk about her journey from travelling the world to returning to Poland, and how a love of Polish food turned into a global online community and a collection of 10 cookbooks.

We get stuck into the big questions: why Polish food is still misunderstood abroad, whether traditional Polish cuisine really is all about meat, the secrets of a proper bigos, the joys of Polish sourdough bread, and why you should never EVER put ketchup on pierogi.

Karolina also reveals her favourite place in Poland, her favourite Polish food, and the song she wants to add to the Pole-ish playlist.

Plus - Peter gets angry about the plural of pierogi, our 3 in 10 quiz is officially retired after an outright winner is declared, and we discover that Poland has a national bird imitation championship.

Come hungry.
