Jay Rayner and the panel are rifling through the TKC inbox for a postbag edition of The Kitchen Cabinet. Joining Jay are chefs, cooks and food writers Sophie Wright, Tim Anderson and Jeremy Pang and resident food historian, Dr Annie Gray.

The panel discuss which pasta they go for in the supermarket, beer recipes that don't involve a batter, and the question on all diner's minds - why do restaurants serve items in threes? They also explain the purpose of white pepper and attempt to convince a listener that eating on the bone is the way to go.
