  • Summary

  • The world is even more bizarre than you suspect it is. If you want to understand it, you have to look at the pillar of all life: food and drink. Without food and drink, we can’t live. Also, without food and drink, why would you want to? Let me tell you, if wine or cheddar ever runs out, I’m on the first rocket ship out of here. Do you feel the same way? Then this is the podcast for you.

    Even when we don’t like them very much?

    (But everyone else is going along with it and you don’t want to be seen not joining in, particularly if it’s the boss being toasted.)

    (Christ, you hate them.)

    (Actually, why is it called a ‘toast’?)

    Curious? Good, let’s begin.

    Are you also upset that apples are still easily bought at the supermarket? Despite the obvious danger they pose to humans?

    Frankly, it’s a miracle we’ve survived as long as we have, surrounded as we are by orchards and greengrocers.

    If you have apples in your fruit bowl, I’d steer clear, if I were you.

    Curious? Good, let’s begin.

    Jul 3 2024

    Greetings fellow gastronomer,

    Isn’t it time avocados were given an 18 rating to keep them away from children?

    Yes, it is.

    Curious? Good, let’s begin.
