It is everywhere 7 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 2: Easter eggs and bunnies, which I always thought was quite 8 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:25,440 Speaker 2: interesting because well, I the latter part of my childhood 9 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 2: I chose to be Catholic. If I remember correctly, there 10 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 2: were no bunnies, there were no eggs. There was the 11 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 2: Stations of the Cross. So I've always wondered how Easter 12 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:38,200 Speaker 2: eggs and bunnies ended up as a symbol of Easter. 13 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:43,279 Speaker 2: And so this morning Doctor Torpedo did some slew thing 14 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,959 Speaker 2: for us to find the history of Easter eggs.

Thinking about you this week. 19 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 2: Because you don't like eggs, you also don't like milk, right, 20 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 2: Milk isn't one of your favorite things? 21 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: You know? I will always drink coffee black. You know 22 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: that that I'll happily eat a pancake, right, And I'll 23 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: happily eat an egg in a cake. But the of 24 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,960 Speaker 1: a boiled egg and soldiers doesn't appeal. 25 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 2: So you're dislike of eggs. Does that extend to Easter eggs? 26 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 1: Well? 27 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 2: Are those okay? 28 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,479 Speaker 1: You know I don't mind chocolate eggs. I'm very partial 29 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: to chocolate eggs. I like caviat as I say, I 30 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: will happily eat an egg in a cake, but I'm 31 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: yeah that I if you know, I'm not very good 32 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: at breakfast menus, for instance, because they're nearly all eggs 33 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: that you will never find me in an omelet being friends. 34 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 2: And it doesn't matter which animal have comes from. So 35 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 2: it's whether it's a duck or goose or a chicken, as. 36 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 1: Long as it's bird it comes from. As I say, 37 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: I am perfectly happy to I like caviat so if 38 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 1: the eggs come from a fish, I'm fine with it. 39 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: But I don't like bird eggs. And I am completely 40 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 1: aware that this is a kind of weirdness of mine, 41 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: and that yeah, I'm sort of sounding as I'm proud 42 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: of it, But I am aware that this is a 43 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 1: foolish thing that I should get over. 44 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 2: We all have our weird things, and you know what, 45 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 2: it's okay, So Easter time, you know Easter is coming 46 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 2: because suddenly there's chocolate eggs out there. Chocolate bunnies, very 47 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,119 Speaker 2: little bunds or hot cross bans are a big part 48 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 2: of the Easter holiday. And I've always wondered what eggs 49 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 2: and bunnies have to do with I guess the Holy 50 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 2: Time in the Christian calendar. Is there a bit in 51 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 2: either the Old Testament or the New Testament that I 52 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 2: missed that. 53 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: Where the east of bunny is that the Mother of 54 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: Christ is visited by foil covered rabbits. No, that I 55 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: mean Easter is, you know, within the Christian calendar, it's 56 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: you know, one of the slash the most significant you know, 57 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: religious event that it's about Christ's crucifixion and resurrection, and 58 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: you know Christ is resen and all of that. And 59 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 1: yet suddenly that there are all these food symbols. We know, 60 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: you know, you know that Easter is coming because you 61 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: start seeing sort of brightly colored pretty Easter eggs and 62 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: hot cross buns and like rabbit imagery, there are all 63 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: these food symbols that do not appear to have any 64 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: connection to the Bible or to the kind of significant story, 65 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: and that's because they're much older than the story of 66 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: Christ's crucifixion and resurrection. Those symbols come from, you know, 67 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 1: religious events that are much older than Christianity. That so, 68 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: you know, before there was you know, before Christ was born. 69 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 1: And again we have to remember that Easter starts off 70 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: as a Northern Hemisphere event, so you know, in the 71 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: Northern Hemisphere, Easter coincides with spring. So there's been this long, hard, dark, 72 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: cold winter when everything seemed dead, and then there's a 73 00:04:53,400 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: kind of ecological resurrection. You know, suddenly the world is reborn. 74 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: That there are you know, green shoots and eggs and 75 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: baby lambs and chicks and you know, fertile animals, and 76 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 1: the most fertile animal of all is obviously a rabbit. 77 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: So you know, these symbols of kind of new life 78 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: that comes as spring are there's a much older long 79 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: before there was Easter. There in the Northern Hemisphere, there 80 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: was a Saxon goddess of spring, and her name was 81 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: Aostra so eo st r. And that's where we get 82 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 1: our word Easter is an Aostra who is the goddess 83 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 1: of light and spring and rebirth. Her totem was an egg. 84 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: So all over the Aostra ceremonies you see eggs, and 85 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:03,039 Speaker 1: in fact you see decorated eggs that there are egg 86 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: shaped sort of carved stones from you know, five thousand 87 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: years before Christ in the Ukraine in the archaeological record. 88 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: So that symbol, the egg symbol is about rebirth and resurrection. 89 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: But it's not Christ's resurrection. It is the resurrection of 90 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: you know, spring, and especially if you come from the 91 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: northern hemisphere where the winter is so dark and terrible, 92 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: you know, the excitement of spring that you know in 93 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: Jerbug the weather's pretty nice all year round. You know, 94 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 1: if you're in the Ukraine it is dark and terrible 95 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 1: in the winter, so spring feels like, you know, the 96 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: goddess has blessed us. So yeah, Aastra who is the 97 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 1: goddess of spring and light hurst In is eggs. And 98 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 1: actually the cross on the hot cross bun is the 99 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 1: four quarters of the moon that we think, you know, 100 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: it's been. What happens is that when Christianity arrives in 101 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: Northern Europe, the kind of Christian missionaries who've come from 102 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: the Middle East, they see this existing festival and you know, 103 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: in terms of timing, it kind of matches with their 104 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: great you know, Crucifixion and Resurrection festival. And there's a 105 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: lot of symbols in common, you know that, you know, 106 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 1: an egg is about new life, and new life is 107 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: the resurrection. And sometimes those early missionaries they say that 108 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: the eggshell symbolizes Christ's empty tomb. That sometimes there are 109 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: legends that are kind of going around, like first second 110 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: century Rome saying Mary Magdalene brought cooked eggs to share 111 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: with the women who were helping her, you know, clean 112 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: Christ's body, and when they get there and there is nobody. Miraculously, 113 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: the eggs turn red when they see the risen Christ. 114 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: And then obviously there's all the lent fastings, so you 115 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: haven't been eating animal proteins, including eggs, and suddenly they're 116 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: reintroduced and everyone is so excited about their deliciousness. 117 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 2: Right, Okay, so I get that, But then when do 118 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 2: the eggs that represent you know, spring new life in winter? 119 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 2: When do they become chocolate? 120 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:43,559 Speaker 1: Chocolate? 121 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, because that's a big part of amount of chocolate. 122 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 1: Nobody in well, anywhay, chocolate kakawa comes from the Americas. 123 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: It's one of the many kind of fabulous, delicious things 124 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:07,959 Speaker 1: that arrive both in Europe and Africa. Once the Americas 125 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: have been you know, they always knew they were there, 126 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: but when Europeans discover that they're there in the sixteenth century, 127 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: so you know that the first thing that comes is 128 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: that chocolate. Initially is mainly drunk, almost like hot chocolate, 129 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: but it will solidify, you know, in a slightly kind 130 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 1: of lumpy form. It does go solid, that first chocolate. 131 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: So there is a woman called her name is the 132 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 1: Widow Gambione, and in seventeen twenty five, the Widow Gambione 133 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 1: is running a patisserie shop in Turin, in Italy, and 134 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: she has the idea to fill chickens eggs, empty chickens 135 00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: eggs with chocolate. So she makes a solid egg. But 136 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 1: obviously chocolate is very expensive, and chocolate, you know, if 137 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,679 Speaker 1: you don't yet have the technology to make a thin 138 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,079 Speaker 1: layer of chocolate, a solid chocolate egg is a very 139 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 1: expensive thing. That the first Easter eggs as we understand them, 140 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 1: are nineteenth century because the technology that allows them to 141 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 1: make kind of thin chocolate eggs. So Cadburys make the 142 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: first kind of commercial chocolate eggs in eighteen seventy five, 143 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 1: So that's the first eggs as we know it. And 144 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: because the chocolate is thinner, they're more affordable. 145 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 2: Right. And so then if I am someone who loves 146 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 2: an egg, an Easter egg, where can I find really 147 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 2: good ones in seven oh two Land?

As you know, I eat exactly three meats, 202 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 2: and I'm actually about eating Not true, that's true. I 203 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 2: only eat beef, pork, and but grudgingly I eat chicken, 204 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 2: and I don't like the taste of chicken, so it's 205 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 2: in there for other reasons. So I've never had rabbits. 206 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 2: I've never had game, so I'm wondering what a rabbit 207 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 2: tastes like. It's very gamey as a meat, not particular. 208 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 1: What it is like all animals that have had proper lives, 209 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: is that you need to cook it long and slow, 210 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 1: because you know, rabbits have got mussels and muscles are tough, 211 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 1: so you cook it long and slow, and it's completely delicious. 212 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: That a rabbit in a white wine sauce is a 213 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: very fine thing. They're a bit disconcerting because they kind 214 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 1: of look as though like maybe it was a skinned cat. Oh, 215 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: so cooking them is a bit distressing because they're they're odd. 216 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: But you know, all meat is murder, isn't it. So 217 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 1: you know, true eating a dead rabbit is no more 218 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: or less cruel than eating a dead Wow. 219 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 2: Right, before we run out of time, I do want 220 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 2: to read some messages that have come through, specifically for you, 221 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 2: doctor follow and Mohuna in Midstream says Higgs and doctor Anna, 222 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 2: thank you for a well researched and delicious treat Another 223 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 2: message on what is good warning gogs and the doctor. 224 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 2: I'd like to thank doctor Torpedo for giving us an 225 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 2: in debt explanation on the history of Easter.

And I thought 238 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 1: that they're so much older than Christianity. You know that 239 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 1: that just you know, chill and say. 240 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 2: And just enjoy these. 241 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: Either it works for me as a symbol of resurrection 242 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: or it doesn't. And if it doesn't, then I do 243 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: different things to celebrate this kind of beautiful. 244 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 2: Need to leave it at that, Doctor Torpedo, Yeah, we 245 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 2: do need to leave it at that.
