Here’s a question we could not answer from Beckles:
Last Saturday I was listening to you whilst I was in the bath. When I was in the bath I treated myself to a little snack of corn on the cob. Weird I know but I’m fine with it. It did however make me think of a question to ask you.
So please Helen, Olly and Martin, answer me this; what is the most unusual thing you have ever eaten in the bath?
We polled ourselves, and the answer was NOTHING, because none of us are fans of combining eating and washing. Even though that’s cutting out valuable scoffing time. But listeners, you seem the kind of people who are comfortable with eating in the same room as a lavatory pan: tell us of your most outlandish bath snack in a comment below!

I do not like eating in the bath as I am scared of dropping crumbs or other foody bits in, but when I was a child I used to drink warm milk during bathtime. I remember not liking this setup very much as drinking a cup of liquid while essentially sitting in a cup of liquid felt very unnatural to me for some reason. Like why do I need this milk when all this water is around me?
I imagine to eat in the bath you would need one of those tray things that spans across the tub, which wouldn’t work on my tub anyways. People read on them and keep soap/sponges and things there. (I’m a much bigger fan of reading in the bath, though I have dropped a book in many a time, even causing one particular library book to go completely moldy. Not so good).

Dear Helen, Ollie & Martin,
While disappointed with your lack of culinary experiences, I understand that you may not be aware that bath eating is a time honoured tradition of the bathing working class masses.
Apart from the usual wine & chocolate thing, the strangest was after working a 16 hours shift my hubby asked it I really wanted anything and not having eaten all day my obvious reponse was “why yes I’d like…one footlong meatball sub with extra cheese, halfway toasted, along with a large coke and some crisps please!”
Which being the loving hubby he is (or scared as I’m a police officer), he promptly ran out and got it.
So yes a complete meal from subway, all while in a hot bath ! Who needs flowers when you can get this instead!

I did once manage to finish an entire black forest gateau. I fell asleep afterward and was rather wrinkley when I awoke. x

I am a massive fan of a food-filled bath-time. (NB: not a food filled bath – though I dream often of swimming in spaghetti)
The lengthy baths I am more than a little partial to leave little time for other things at the end of a funtime worktime day. As a result I am prone to eating my whole flipping meal in the bath.
But then..my baths are less about cleansing, more about splashing and reading (not together).
Recently, I have enjoyed mussels in a white wine sauce followed by some sticky toffee pudding, 2 beers and a whole packet of chocolate raisins while up to my ocsters in Sailor Matey bubbles and all-too-rapidly cooling water. It was a goood day.
