  • 56 - Robert May's "Spectacle Feasts"
    Jun 21 2024
    The entire experience of eating a fancy meal these days is no longer just about the food itself. For decades, chefs like Heston Blumenthal have been creating entire culinary experiences to delight all of your senses at once, pairing sounds, smells and textures along with the already delicious flavours of their food.

    But while this trend has taken off again more recently, this is by no means a modern practice. In fact, as far back as the early 1600’s an innovative chef by the name of Robert May was creating similar sensory dining experiences all around Elizabethan England.


    Today, we’ll discover just who this man was, and how he went about revolutionising banquets into what would come to be called his "Spectacle Feasts".

  • 55 - How Sausages Helped Win A Battle
    Jun 7 2024
    It’s well into the northern european winter season at the end of 1939. Five hundred thousand Russian Soviet Soldiers are making a collective push northwards, swarming the countryside as they go. They are armed to the hilt with tanks, explosives, machine guns, grenades and a staggeringly overwhelming number of troops.

    But there is one thing that they didn’t count on, one thing that threatened to derail their entire military offensive altogether. And that one thing, was the humble sausage.

  • 54 - When Pineapples Were Status Symbols
    May 24 2024
    For the majority of history they were considered the ultimate delicacy by European nobility who just couldn’t get enough of them. From snack to status symbol, the pineapple has graced many a King and Queens palace courts, while outside of them they took on a mythical quality akin to some sort of precious jewel.

    Today, we’ll track the pineapples voyage across the seas and into the history books as it became synonymous with the very peak of royal de rigeour.

Willy Wonka in an airplane!

What a great story to come out of such a horrible time. This story had me saying yup, even in the 1940's there were people here in America trying to help the unfortunate of war torn countries. And they should write a book about this. 18 min wasn't enough

Has nothing to do with food!

It is just another lame attempt at social justice reform. Maybe 2% is about food.
