Joe Marler, jalapeño honey pulled pork with lime slaw, and a viognier

A true VI-Hundy P joins us around our own round table. 

Joe Marler is a former rugby union player, podcast presenter, TV personality and Traitors expert in big dog theory. He joins Nick and Angela around the Dish table to talk about his new podcast, Joe Marler Will See You Now, where he puts guests to the test using his unique people-reading skills. 

Recorded only hours before the finale of the Traitors, we have a brilliant time with Joe in our Christmas studio. Only snag being that he isn’t a big fan of Christmas... but can he be convinced by Nick’s infectious love for all occasions? Joe’s love of food is unwavering, with a passion for bold flavours, low-and-slow dishes... and chocolate. He is also a big fan of a Dark ‘N Stormy cocktail, and that’s how we kick things off. 

Angela answers his low-and-slow call by serving jalapeño honey pulled pork with lime slaw, with Waitrose wine experts picking a glass of Laurent Miquel Nocturnes Viognier IGP Pays d'Oc to pair alongside it. 

We discuss Joe’s cooking skills, and how his fondness for cake got him into trouble as a sous chef. We find out how wanting to act led him to a career in rugby, and learn that if you want to keep Joe on your good side... don’t serve him cockles. 

In the opening of the episode, Nick and Angela try out a glass of mulled rosé and explore Angela’s new, very tasty, biscuit range.
