The third annual supermarket Christmas dinner taste test and some economics

It might be the only time in history that four five-course supermarket Christmas dinners are taste-tested on live radio over a discussion about the state of the economy.

There’s really not much more one can say.

Other than will it be Lidl, Waitrose, Tesco or ‘the wildcard’ that proves more popular this year in the turkey, cheese, Prosecco, sprouts and cranberry sauce league?

The result, as a clickbaiter might say, may surprise you. The journey might amuse you.

Inflation hit 1.2% and the US Federal Reserve raised its main interest rate. Merry Christmas. From this week’s crew: Georgie Frost, Simon Lambert, Lee Boyce, Rich Browning and Tom the producer.
