    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.

  • 53 - Fat Men's Clubs

    53 - Fat Men's Clubs
    May 10 2024
    For as long as so-called civilised societies have existed, equally uncivilised clubs and groups have sprung up within them, allowing their members to revel in all sorts of weird and wonderful excesses.

    In previous episodes we have heard about secret food clubs with a goal of eating every type of animal on earth. Todays story may not be so different, although this clubs members were’nt so picky about reaching any particular goal other that just eating every type of food they could get their hands on.

    52 - The Kentucky Meat Shower
    Apr 25 2024
    Turn on the tv or radio, or scroll any news site online and you’ll no doubt be inundated with stories about crazy weather anomalies happening all around the globe.

    Volcanic eruptions, tidal waves, earthquakes, tornadoes and so much more.

    But none of us, thankfully, have ever lived through one of the strangest events in history when something a lot more dense than rain began falling from the skies onto some unsuspecting farmers in the small town of Olympia Springs, Kentucky.

How he twists food into history is wonderful. I’d start with the eggnog wars first! It will get you hooked

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.
