What's your favourite snack?

This BBC Learning English podcast episode, "6 Minute English," explores the global snack food phenomenon. Hosts Neil and Beth discuss snack preferences with excerpts from interviews with a food historian, a chef, and the president of a snack industry trade association. The discussion covers various aspects of snacking, including affordability, convenience, targeted functional ingredients (e.g., for gut health or mental clarity), and the contrast between traditional and modern snack choices. A quiz question about the most popular snack among Brits is posed and answered, and the episode concludes with a review of key vocabulary terms.
