Comfort Food, Balance and Enjoying What You Eat

In a lighter and more playful episode, MJ and Gerald Quigley chat about food preferences, comfort meals, and what our go-to foods might say about us — without judgement. From chicken wings and fish and chips to lamb cutlets with mash, peas, thick gravy and mint jelly, the conversation moves beyond rules and restrictions and back to enjoyment. Gerald reminds listeners that food isn’t just fuel — it’s information, comfort, and a chance to slow down and enjoy life. As the festive season approaches, the message is simple: ignore the naysayers, eat sensibly, enjoy what you love, and don’t let food become another source of stress. Enjoy. ----more---- Stars and Stories Broadcasting straight from the heart of Remote Communities, Black Star Radio brings a fresh twist to local radio with stories, music, and connections that matter.
