Ewan McGregor recently shared a lighthearted moment from his encounter with former Norwich City majority shareholder, Delia Smith, on the podcast Dish from Waitrose, hosted by Nick Grimshaw and chef Angela Hartnett. Expressing excitement, McGregor recounted how he unintentionally swore during their meeting, saying, “I kept dropping F-bombs all the time … I really let myself down.” Grimshaw reassured him that Smith, known for her football ties, wouldn’t be bothered by the language.
During the same podcast, McGregor and long-time collaborator Charley Boorman discussed their culinary experiences from their travels, including a memorable meal in Mongolia where they were served an unusual dish of yak testicles cooked in a large pot.

This latest journey continues their tradition of exploring the world together, bringing laughter and unique experiences along the way.
