Hello and welcome to Six Minute English, I'm Neil.
Yeah, and I'm Rob.
Now, Rob, you look like you enjoy a good meal.
Well, I do like eating out, and I like to think I know a good meal when I have one.
Well, that should give you an advantage with today's quiz.
In 2016, which is the last year, we have statistics for,
how many restaurants and mobile food services were there in the UK?
Was it A, about 75,000?
B, about 83,000, or C, about 93,000?
Well, I know there are lots, so I'm going to say 93,000, but that is just a guess.
I'll reveal the answer a little later in the program.
Today, we're talking about being a foodie.
Rob, what is a foodie?
Well, I would describe a foodie as someone who has a strong interest in food.
They like preparing it as well as eating it.
They like using good ingredients, and they're probably not fans of fast food.
Angela Hartnett is one of Britain's top chefs.
In the BBC podcast The Bottom Line, she talked about this topic.
