Then Neil investigates the natural history of Lent and has a conversation with Brenda Smith of Bud Garden Centre, Manchester, about what the plants are up to and the food that\u2019s growing in early spring. Neil then talks to Matthew Cobb, Professor of Zoology at Manchester University, about animals and their odd behaviour at this time of year.\n\nFor episode notes, photos and recipes please visit https://britishfoodhistory.com/lent-podcast/\n\nWritten and presented by Dr Neil Buttery\nProduced by Beena Khetani\nMade in Manchester by Sonder Radio","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/d8b2b510-ee02-4170-b102-29f6191a2940/md_89aoDSP1FC4g3Sx3rIXjh.JPG"}
