The Good Food podcast

In his first-ever food interview, Queen guitarist Sir Brian May sits down with Sam at the Ginstitute at Portobello Road Distillery to talk about Red Special Gin, the spirit he's just created there, as well as the meals, memories and beliefs that shape how he eats. Brian remembers his dad's prized runner beans and seaside prawns on childhood holidays, as well as building his famous Red Special guitar with his father. He explains, too, why he plays with a sixpence and how calamansi oranges from his own greenhouse inspired the recipe for Portobello Road Distillery x Brian May Red Special Gin.
