  • Summary

  • In preparation for a new episode of the Smörgåsbord Podcast, we're reliving some old episodes of the show.   This week, we look back at the time when Angel and Mik attend Carnival, digitally speaking!   Welcome, 20201! In today’s episode of Smörgåsbord, Angel and Mik talk about the world’s largest party that is not happening this year: Brazil’s Carnival! Known today for its elaborate costumes and dance parties, did you know that Carnival actually roots from food?    Angel and Mik also try and determine the etymology for men’s bikinis while mourning their inability to dance.    Tune in next week when Angel and Mik actually cover carnival food.  Cotton candy, funnel cakes and more!   Also here is the link to the SNL skit of Black Jeopardy referenced during the episode. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzMzFGgmQOc   Pardon the screeching sound during the episode. Mik clearly needs a less screechy pen to fiddle with.    00:00 Opening Song  00:11 Show introduction 02:47 What’s in our palette? 06:34 What is Carnival? 07:41 Origins of Carnival 14:37 Carnival today  22:57 The food of Carnival 27:17 Street food in Brazil’s  34:54 Carnival food around the world 38:27 Is it healthy?   39:50 Is it good?    Resources from today’s episode: Wikipedia “How Did Brazil's Carnival Start?” by Sarah Brown “The history of Carnaval in Brazil” by About Brasil “History of Carnival in Brazil” by Christopher Muscato “Carnival season: great global food traditions” by Ren Behan “Brazil Carnival Food” by Brazilians Food “Rio 2016: The Top 10 Brazilian Street Foods” by Clare Gazzard “How Brazilian Traditions Work” by Melanie Radzicki Mcmanus “Inside The Revelry and Rituals of Rio’s Carnaval” by Azamara “What Is Ash Wednesday? & Why Christians Celebrate It” by Kelly GIvens “The Romans had a festival where the roles of master and slave were reversed …” by Brad Smithfield “A Brief Introduction To Feijoada, Brazil’s National Dish” by Sarah Brown “Brazilian Fish Stew (Moqueca Baiana)” by Nagl “Caruru” by TasteAtlas “Quindim, A Brazilian Dessert” by Nicoletta “Brazil’s Acarajé Dish & It’s Fascinating History” by Amigofoods   Smörgåsbord Podcast is a show where we explore the rituals, myths and all things strange about the world of food.
