Manchester Evening News reports that host Matt Tebbutt introduced the episode by saying: "We're on our holidays, so instead of normal Saturday service, we're whisking you off around the world, delivering Sri Lankan spice, Ukrainian classics, Cypriot sunshine and a beautiful British afternoon tea in drink form. This is Saturday Kitchen Best Bites."

Irish TV presenter Laura made headlines when she appeared on the series in 2022, when she discussed her love of food and cited seafood linguine as her dream meal.

But the former Love Island host was then quizzed about what Matt had heard about Laura's favourite snack. "So Laura, a little birdy tells me you love eating raw mushrooms with mayonnaise?" he asked.

Laura laughed out loud and admitted to her love of raw mushrooms, proceeding to pick one up and eat it which left fellow guests Helen McGinn and Paul A. Young watching on in horror.

Drinks expert Helen said: "Just don't want to watch... oh my gosh she eats it like an apple", with Chocolatier Paul adding: "I can't even watch."

Laura was then presented with her own plate of raw mushrooms and two bottles of her personalised mayonnaise 'Whit-Mayo'. To complete her meal Laura added some cheese on top of it.
