1 00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:09,920 Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to Savor in prediction of I Heart Radio. 2 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,760 Speaker 1: I'm Annie Reese and I'm Lauren vocal Bam. And today 3 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 1: we're talking about the food of the Simpsons. Yes, which 4 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 1: was supposed to be a quote easy short one, like 5 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 1: a light fun thing, like, oh man, let's just like, 6 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 1: let's just do a fun m uh. I think I 7 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 1: forgot that every episode of the Simpsons is about food 8 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:37,240 Speaker 1: pretty much. Yeah, it's still very fun. It just isn't 9 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 1: quote light researchload that we perhaps we're anticipating foolishly or not. Yeah, 10 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,880 Speaker 1: I could still be researching right now, but instead we're 11 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 1: just going to record. So so yeah, it's all great, 12 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 1: give you a taste of what the Simpsons has to offer. Um. 13 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: For my personal experience, I was actually really afraid of 14 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 1: The Simpsons as a kid. I wouldn't watch it. I 15 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 1: thought Homer was going to kill Bart, like I was afraid. 16 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,399 Speaker 1: I can I can see that. I mean, especially in 17 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: those earlier seasons, like he like does a lot of 18 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: strangulation of Bart. So yes, and I did not get 19 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,039 Speaker 1: the joke. Um. I was so afraid of it that 20 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: my parents wouldn't let my brothers, who did love it, 21 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: watch it. If I was like, okay, really terrified me. 22 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: Um as I got older, though, I really dick it. 23 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: And I especially liked the Halloween specials. I wasn't a 24 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: religious watch or anything, but I would always check those out. 25 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: And I did get to sit in on an interview 26 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: with the voice of Lisa's Simpson yard Lee Smith over 27 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: on Smancy. She has a podcast, um, and she sent 28 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: me some Lisa's Simpson pens and an autographed picture. Even 29 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: though like I really wasn't involved. This was sort of 30 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: when I was transitioning over. But that's that's still that's 31 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: so sweet. She seems like a really genuine, um and 32 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: awesome human person. She was.

And we have been to the Simpsons area 50 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: in Universal Studios again when that was still open and 51 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: a thing. I've definitely tried a Duff beer and I 52 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: had one of those huge donuts. Luckily for me, I 53 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: shared it with someone. I only had one bite, but 54 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: the other person really paid the price for that later sugar. 55 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,799 Speaker 1: It's bad. It's bad. It's huge, just bigger than like 56 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: not only my head, but like multiple of my head. God. Yeah. 57 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: And I've ridden the rides um once. We got to 58 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: cut to the front of that Krusty Land ride because 59 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: one of my friends was wearing some kind of shirt 60 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: I don't know, but they let us go to the front. 61 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: Was awesome, Okay cool. And I know like my past 62 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: crushes have been on the Simpsons, Billy Joe Armstrong, Dandy Radcliffe, 63 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: Mark Campbell. I watched those episodes that okay, Joe Armstrong 64 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: that was the movie, but never saw the film. Um. Now, 65 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: I I loved The Simpsons when I was growing up. Uh. 66 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: It was definitely a thing that my dad and I 67 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: would watch together like every Sunday. Oh yeah, the Treehouse 68 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: of Horrors episodes were great. Like my friends and I 69 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: would just like endlessly quoted at each other on the playground, 70 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: probably much to the chagrin of like whatever adults were around, 71 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: because back then it was considered, um, I think a 72 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: little bit rude by a lot of grown ups. Um 73 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 1: And certainly I think it was going for a little 74 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: bit rude, But I don't know, like when you think 75 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 1: about it, I think I think it's really one of 76 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: the sweetest shows on television. Um about like a family 77 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: that just loves each other and loves their weird little town. 78 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 1: But yeah, and speaking of like not being a light 79 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:50,720 Speaker 1: research episode, I found this thing on Simpson's archive and 80 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: it's a guide to the food and the Simpsons, And 81 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: from what I understand, it's literally every mention of food 82 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: in the show and they just documented it. And so 83 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: that's impressive. As someone who loves research and gets pretty 84 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: into the fandoms that like uh, I salute you. And recently, 85 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: the Simpsons took a trip to New Orleans in an 86 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 1: episode and there was a pretty epic Nola food crawl 87 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 1: and so many people have made videos recreating it. It's awesome. 88 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 1: There are fifty two establishments all the Yeah, we got 89 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: I know, right, I don't think we hit fifty two establishments. 90 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: We were in New Orleans, no, and we were there 91 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 1: for food. We were there for food for I think 92 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: five days. But we did go to about ten of 93 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: the things on there, so, you know, respectable, not too shabby. 94 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: You know, it's not not not Simpsons level, but not 95 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,039 Speaker 1: too shabby. I'll take it. I'll take it. Yeah, I 96 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 1: don't think we can quite aspire to the Simpsons, yet, 97 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: give us some Through thirty seasons, yes, thirty seasons from 98 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: now we will be able to hit fifty two establishments 99 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,479 Speaker 1: and one heck um, and there are not one, but 100 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: two episodes where members of the family become food bloggers, 101 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: so kind of in our wheelhouse a little bit. Absolutely 102 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: all right, Well, let's get to balk questions. Sure, the Simpsons, 103 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: what is it? Well, the Simpsons. If you didn't know 104 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 1: and are very confused at this point. Is an animated 105 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: sitcom satire drama television show. UM. It airs in thirty 106 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: minute time slots on network tv U and thus runs 107 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 1: about twenty two minutes per episode. And yeah, it's about 108 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: the very average lives of this very average working class 109 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: nuclear family. Nuclear is kind of a joke because the 110 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: dad works for nuclear power plant. UM. Their their last 111 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,919 Speaker 1: name being Simpson. So it's about the Simpsons, UM. And 112 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: it follows them around the home, at school, out around 113 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: in their community in the very average town of Springfield. 114 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: The state that Springfield is in is never mentioned, but 115 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: you know, so anyway, UM. It has been running the 116 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: Simpsons since night. UM. It's currently in its thirty feet season. UM. 117 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: It's been renewed for its thirty second as well. Uh 118 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: you know, and like the characters occasionally have birthdays and 119 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: like things around the town will occasionally change, um, but 120 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: everything stays pretty much the same. Like the world pretty 121 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: much resets at the beginning of every episode, UM, as 122 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: you know you can do when your characters are animated 123 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: and the kids don't grow up and you know, nobody 124 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: nobody moves on. It was created by by Matt graining 125 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: as a series of animated shorts. In seven, those shorts 126 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: aired on The Tracy Allman Show and then yeah, um 127 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: they developed it into the full length show. And yeah, 128 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: since the show is about the simpsons daily lives, food 129 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: does play a big part in it. Um. You know 130 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: what they cook and eat at home and out around town, 131 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: what they see advertised on TV, what they hear news about. Um. 132 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: And the father Homer is just this like big old 133 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: locking id uh. And so he thinks and and dreams 134 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: about food a lot. And just as in any small town, 135 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: there are any number of restaurants and shops out around Springfield, 136 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: and many that parody real world places or or tropes. Um. 137 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: So like you want a snack or a soda or 138 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: a six pack, you head to the Quickie mart Um, 139 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,199 Speaker 1: the local dad bar dive is most tavern coffee and 140 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: a doughnut, stopping at lard lad Um. And if you're 141 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: looking for some family fun um. Just as Anheuser Bush 142 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: created Bush Gardens, Um the theme park you can go 143 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: to Duff Gardens. I did not know that was Anheuser Bush. 144 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, Like they like trot, they like trot. 145 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: The Clydesdale's out like around bush gardens.

Wow, 150 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: blowing my mind. Yeah, I I guess. I guess. Growing 151 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: growing up in South Florida, like you, absorbed probably a 152 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 1: lot more about theme parks than many other humans would, 153 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: so so I feel like, yeah, makes sense. Yeah, you 154 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: can be forgiven. Thank you. I didn't know that some 155 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: big beer company at a theme park.

Um. 167 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 1: And and usually when it's translated, it's not just literally translated, 168 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 1: but um. But they work in like local like like 169 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,199 Speaker 1: pop culture references and stuff like that. Um. A feature 170 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 1: length film was released in two thousand seven thirty one seasons. 171 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: Y'all that is as old as I am. Yep yep. Uh. Yeah, 172 00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: well so there. Well that probably explains, at least in part, 173 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 1: why there were so many food references that we could 174 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: talk about. And let's let's get into those. Yes, but 175 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: first let's take a quick break for a word from 176 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 1: our sponsor. And we're back. Thank you, sponsor, Yes, thank you, 177 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 1: And we're back with donuts. Ah. This is Homer's favorite food. 178 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: He even has an imaginary planet of donuts uh, and 179 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: he's frequently depicted with a pink of frosted doughnut with 180 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: multi colored sprinkles yep um. In Homer's perfect iteration of 181 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 1: like the universe, as seen in a tree House of 182 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 1: Horrors episode, it rains donuts. M But he doesn't realize 183 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,199 Speaker 1: it and he leaves. He's he's he's he's like, oh man, 184 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 1: this one's perfect. And he's like, oh, Marge, could you 185 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: get me a donut? And she's like, what's a donut? 186 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 1: And then he puffs out and it starts raining donuts. 187 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: It's very funny. Well, that's why it's a treehouse of 188 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: horror episode lessons learned. And as I said, the local 189 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:23,199 Speaker 1: donut or e m is laurd lad And Um. Outside 190 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 1: of this place, there's a there's a huge statue of 191 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 1: this cartoony boy holding up a huge donut. UM. Sort 192 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: of a take on the Big Boy mascot. If you've 193 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: ever seen a Big Boy m hmm yeah, totally like that. 194 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,680 Speaker 1: Buzz cola. Um, the show's Coca cola like Jolt cola 195 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,719 Speaker 1: kind of parody. It's one of Bart's favorite drinks. Um, 196 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 1: and was sold in real life seven elevens for a while. 197 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 1: Um that we're converted to be Quickie Marts surrounding the 198 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: Simpsons film release. Oh wow, yeah, missed out on that. Um. 199 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: Then of course there's off the beer and definitely the 200 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 1: preferred beverage of Homer Simpson can't get enough of that 201 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,839 Speaker 1: wonderful Duff, as the slogan goes, and yes they're Duff guardens, 202 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 1: which now makes more sense to me. Um, where you 203 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 1: can buy Duff beer goggles. There's the mascot Duff Man, 204 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:26,199 Speaker 1: and also the seven Duff's Uh, Sleazy, Queezy, Edgy, surly, Tipsy, 205 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 1: remorseful and dizzy, sleezy and queezy um. And there are 206 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: a couple of varieties like Lady Duff, which is just 207 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 1: Duff but in a pink can. Of course, there's the 208 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: Duff Beer Suitcase, Duff Gummy Beers, candy, and Duff two 209 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: hundred nothing but booze um. And yes, you can buy 210 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 1: it at Universal Studios UM in Orlando and Los Angeles, 211 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: and there was a pop up selling it in Burbank 212 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: not too long ago. You can also buy a Duff 213 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 1: energy drink on Amazon, so okay, yeah, I'm not really 214 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:08,199 Speaker 1: sure what that's about. Um. And then there's Fun Beer, 215 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:14,319 Speaker 1: which is the compower, yes, the obviously suck here Shelbyville 216 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 1: competitor of Toff Beer. And I, as someone who comes 217 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: from a small town, I know exactly this competition that's Dawsonville. 218 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: So it's like your talent that you're just always competing with. Similarly, 219 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: family guys, Peter Griffin's favorite beer, Paul Tuckett Patriot Beer 220 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: is discovered to be Duff, but just under a different label. Yeah, 221 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 1: and Homer calls it the same but worse Jewish. Peter response, 222 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 1: It may have been inspired by Duff, but I like 223 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: to think it takes it in a different direction. And 224 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: this is a reference to the frequent criticism that Family 225 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: Guy is a rip off of the Sampsons. Okay, that's 226 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 1: that's that's cute. Yeah, that's the one where the what's 227 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: his name kool aid man shows up. I've seen that 228 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 1: gift a lot. I've seen Yeah, I don't think i've 229 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: seen that episode, but I've definitely seen that gift. Well, 230 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 1: there you go. That's that episode. Then there's Red Tick 231 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: Beer with the slogan suck one dry. A tour of 232 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: the brewery reveals that the flavor comes from dogs swimming 233 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 1: and the brew and the more dogs, the more the flavor. 234 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 1: Sure that makes sense. That absolutely tracks these and uh 235 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 1: many other alcoholic drinks are consumed at MOS. Yes, there's 236 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 1: also absolute pickle. Uh so absolutely with a hint of pickle, 237 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 1: one of the ingredients in the Forget Me shots, which 238 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 1: is a shot that the bartender guarantees you'll forget the 239 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 1: last twenty four hours once you drink it. Uh. The 240 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: other ingredients are Yeagermeister slogan triple sick, quadruple sick, the 241 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 1: gut from a dog's eye, the red stripe from Aqua 242 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: Fresh tooth paste, and venom from the Louisiana the Botto mos. 243 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 1: Then it stirred with a pregnancy strip until the results 244 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: show positive. Oh gosh, yeah, that wasn't enough. There's also 245 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: a legal Battub Hooch, which is Homer's homemade hooch after 246 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 1: Springfield and Acts of Prohibition that he distributes as the 247 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 1: beer baron and then flaming mode. Yes, yeah, so this 248 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: is a cocktail Jake Homer made to escape the company 249 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 1: of Marge's sisters Patty and Salma. He was doing it 250 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 1: to sort of tune them out. Um, so he made 251 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 1: it out of the last drops of several types of 252 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: liquor and Krusty brand cross syrup and then it got 253 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 1: on fire when one of the sisters heard the ashes cigarette. Yeah, 254 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: but he really dug it and it gave him excuse 255 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 1: to get out, and he shares the recipe with the 256 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: bartender at mos uh Mo again and most steals the 257 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 1: idea to attract a younger crowd to keep his place afloat, 258 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 1: and it worked. It was a smash hit, even attracting 259 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 1: the attention of Arrowsmith and earning Mo an offer of 260 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:18,679 Speaker 1: one a million dollars. And of course Homer completely flips 261 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:24,359 Speaker 1: out over Mos traders actions. Yes kind of. On a 262 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 1: related note, um Mo also tried to make his tavern 263 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:31,919 Speaker 1: more family friendly, changing the concept and renaming it MOS 264 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 1: Family feed Box. And a part of this includes serving 265 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 1: hot fries on his head while the kids eat them. 266 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 1: And let's just say this concept did not last. Yeah 267 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 1: that that that that's the birthday stick. Um he would 268 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: he would serve the hot fries from his like balding 269 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:56,880 Speaker 1: pate and very painful, very painful. And you can buy 270 00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 1: flame and Mose at Universal Resorts sold as a quote 271 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 1: natural energy drink. Huh ho indeed. And then of course 272 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: Simpson and Son revitalizing tonic. So this is an aphrodisiac. Yea, yeah, 273 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 1: the Simpsons of course. Um the Grandpa and Homer's aprodisiac 274 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,879 Speaker 1: believed to have been invented by great Grandpa as a 275 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:27,439 Speaker 1: cheap holy water alternative, and he made it by mixing 276 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:31,360 Speaker 1: the liquids in his medicine cabinet from Cologne to all 277 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: the medicines in their Homer learns that the elixir was 278 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: behind his conception. Ah. Yes, and then there's the slew 279 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 1: of Crusty brand products. Right we already mentioned the cough syrup. 280 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 1: It's not technically a food item, even though it does 281 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 1: make its way into that drink. Um. Yeah, and Krusty 282 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 1: being the local children's broadcast TV clown like in the 283 00:18:55,280 --> 00:19:00,439 Speaker 1: tradition of Bozo the clown apparently created after the memory 284 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 1: that the Graining had in his hometown in the Pacific 285 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:09,440 Speaker 1: northwest of This clown called like Rusty Nail or Rusty Nails, 286 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 1: who was apparently like a delightful character, but the Graining 287 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 1: was always a little bit creeped out by him because 288 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: his name was Rusty Nails.

Yes, Yes, there's a very 292 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,160 Speaker 1: particular vibe. And as someone who's I've seen a lot 293 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:44,479 Speaker 1: more of SpongeBob and The Simpsons, I feel like Krusty 294 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 1: Krab and Mr Crabs.

There's also the rib which, 328 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,679 Speaker 1: which you can probably tell from the name, is the 329 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:11,679 Speaker 1: Simpsons version of the McDonald's mc ribb and it's a 330 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,879 Speaker 1: limited time product of Krusty the Clown's Crusty Burger, and 331 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 1: it is very well loved, partially because of its addictive quality, 332 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 1: and because of that it gets a cult like following 333 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,640 Speaker 1: that Homer joints called the rib heads, you know, making 334 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: fun of the grateful dead deadheads. Um. And they go 335 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,400 Speaker 1: from market to market to try it because it's sort 336 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:35,640 Speaker 1: of being rolled out in different places. Yeah. And then 337 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 1: I at the end Krusty is like, what a weird 338 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 1: experiment this was, and it's discontinued. Oh oh gosh, huh Yeah, 339 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 1: much much like the McRib indeed too good for this world. 340 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 1: One might say, uh, there's Yeah, there's Crusty Brand mayo. Uh, 341 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 1: there's I know right oh h And then you asked, 342 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 1: there's Krusty Band vodka, Absolute Crusty Krusty bubble gum, which 343 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 1: contains spider eggs which they knew about and hantavirus which 344 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: they didn't. The Krusty Kump Bar, which is a send 345 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,399 Speaker 1: off of the Waka bar, a chocolate bar with almonds. Uh. 346 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,120 Speaker 1: And there's a similar contest held for a golden ticket 347 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,439 Speaker 1: to a candy industry trade show that, of course Homer 348 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,440 Speaker 1: is desperate to get to. Um. You can also buy 349 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 1: these in real life at Universal Studios, and it's milk 350 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 1: chocolate marshmallows, potato chips and pretzels, and then one of 351 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,880 Speaker 1: them has peanuts in it. Okay, yeah, I will say 352 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:44,159 Speaker 1: potato chips and chocolate bars is a great thing. I 353 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 1: always really enjoyed. It's a nice salty crunch in there. 354 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:53,920 Speaker 1: Then of course Stabios, who can forget about the Stabios. 355 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:58,159 Speaker 1: This is sort of a Cheerios Lucky Charms combo, but 356 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 1: instead of the heart stars and horseshoes, the marshmallow shapes 357 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 1: are red stained weapons. Yeah, pink daggers, yellow hatchets, green 358 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 1: ice picks. Um. Yeah, this is this is a talie 359 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 1: in product with the children's cartoon brand Itchy and Scratchy, 360 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 1: which is this cat and mouse that like murder each 361 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 1: other really gruesomely in every episode, kind of a send 362 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,440 Speaker 1: off of the Tom and Jerry sort of vibe and 363 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 1: and it's a it's a yeah. It's an animated short 364 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: within The Simpsons that airs on Krusty the Clowns TV show. Yeah. 365 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,920 Speaker 1: Also scared me. It's something I think what I would 366 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 1: really enjoy now. Yeah, it seems right up my alley. 367 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: But as a kid like I remember very clearly when, 368 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 1: uh is it which one was the mouse? Oh? I 369 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:50,120 Speaker 1: couldn't tell you, well, the mouse like cuts open after 370 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 1: force feeding him these these stabios and like eats it 371 00:24:54,200 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 1: out of his inside. But for you grow a sense 372 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,959 Speaker 1: of satire. I'm not sure what age that happens, but 373 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 1: I'm picturing that you were just a little bit, a 374 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 1: little bit below the the satire level when you saw 375 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 1: that first. I was watching it. It just horror. Um. 376 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: I do find it really interesting, and I've always wanted 377 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:20,880 Speaker 1: to get into the science but behind this. But like 378 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,359 Speaker 1: in my case, at least, a lot of things that 379 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 1: were more like children scared me way more than Like 380 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,919 Speaker 1: I watched Nightmare on Elm Street at eight. I as 381 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,200 Speaker 1: why I actually watched it. For it, I was like, um, 382 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 1: you know, it didn't scare me. But meanwhile and scratchy, yeah, 383 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:44,639 Speaker 1: oh my god, terrifying. Anyway, maybe I'll get to the 384 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: bottom of that one day. I hope so. But in 385 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 1: the meantime, there's also Chippos, which is a potato chip 386 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 1: brand with a hippo mascot. That makes sense, it does 387 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 1: it does? Um. Homer also does enjoy park grinds um 388 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 1: and sometimes eats a brand called pork Grind's Light. I 389 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 1: don't know what it means. Yeah, it's pretty great. And 390 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: then there's Malk Malko forget them Malk. This is imitation 391 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 1: milk product that is introduced after Springfield Elementary faces extreme 392 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:26,360 Speaker 1: budget cats. Instead of Vitamin D, it has vitamin R, 393 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 1: which is not good and uh Bart complains because his 394 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:36,159 Speaker 1: bones get super brittle drinking this um. And then of 395 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 1: course the mob takes over the school's milk contract, promising 396 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 1: to provide dogs milk grade milk or higher. Uh Squeaky 397 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 1: Farms brand, genuine animal milk. Genuine animal milk. That's that's great. 398 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:56,200 Speaker 1: The school also served grade F meat during these budget cats. 399 00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 1: Oh gosh. And and then this one. I actually remember 400 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 1: I saw this episode the tomacco. Oh it's a classic. 401 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 1: It's really good. Yeah, oh god. The part I remember 402 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,399 Speaker 1: most is this the Homer challenging He challenged someone to 403 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,400 Speaker 1: a duel and the dude actually takes him up on it. 404 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,439 Speaker 1: I remember that very clearly for some reason, and the 405 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 1: family is forced to flee uh to to the Simpson 406 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,160 Speaker 1: family farm when the guy actually does show up, and 407 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 1: thanks to some plutonium, Homer manages to cross breed a 408 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 1: tomato with some tobacco, making the tomacco, which is just 409 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:39,400 Speaker 1: as addictive as cigarettes, but completely illegal. Um. When animals 410 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 1: eat it, they become really violent. Ralph Wiggham reclaims it 411 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: tastes like grandma. Actually, it's a son that says it, 412 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 1: isn't it. That's Ralph. Yeah, that Ralph is the kid. Yeah, 413 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 1: and yeah, this tomato tastes like grandma. Yeah. That's a 414 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 1: line that's like never far from my heart. That's a 415 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 1: very good impression. Oh, thank you, thank you. That's decades 416 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 1: and decades of saying that line over and over all 417 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 1: in preparation for this moment you finally get your chance 418 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:14,920 Speaker 1: to shine. Yes, thank you, Annie, You've made it all possible. 419 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:18,640 Speaker 1: I just wanted this to happen for you. And here 420 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 1: we are. And then I remember this episode two, the 421 00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 1: Guatemalan and Sanity Pepper or the Merciless Peppers of Quetzali 422 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:33,359 Speaker 1: cut to Nago something like that. Um, and so I 423 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 1: guess all advice. Homer attends Springfields Annual Chili cook Off, 424 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 1: uh to make up for his drunk actions at the 425 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,479 Speaker 1: previous year's event. This is why Marge doesn't want him 426 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 1: to go right. She's like, you better not drink any 427 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 1: beer and he says, oh sure, he cannot resist the 428 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 1: temptation of Chief Wigham's batch of chilis quote grown deep 429 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 1: in the jungle, prime evil by the inmates of a 430 00:28:55,680 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 1: Guatemalan insane asam and uh, they're so hot. Wiggham handles 431 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 1: them with tongs anywhears, a welder's mask and gloves to 432 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 1: stir them in the pot um. And so Homer tries 433 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 1: them one time and they're like just barely touches his 434 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 1: tongue and it's too way too hot. And he goes 435 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 1: and drinks a bunch of beer, and Marge gets mad 436 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 1: at him because he's trying to douse the flame in 437 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,960 Speaker 1: his mouth. Um, So he tries it a second time 438 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 1: after he coats the inside of his mouth with wax, 439 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 1: and he thinks that will provide him yes, exactly, And 440 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 1: what follows is a very colorful, wild hallucinatory trip for Homer, 441 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 1: narrated by Johnny Cash. Oh right, right, yeah, which I 442 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 1: believe involves doughnuts pretty heavily. I'm sure, am I thinking 443 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 1: about the right I'm not positive that I'm thinking about 444 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:52,600 Speaker 1: the right. Hallucinatory There's multiple ones, not only on the show, 445 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 1: but in this episode, Yeah, which actually segues into the 446 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 1: next one. Earlier, speaking of the squishy. Yeah, this is 447 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 1: a frozen soft drink sold it Quickie Mart. It's a 448 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,960 Speaker 1: play on seven eleven slurpy Yes. And after Bart and 449 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 1: his friend Millhouse find twenty dollars, what do they do? 450 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 1: They rush over to the Quickie Mart and blew it 451 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 1: all on an all syrup, addition the super squishy and 452 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 1: making it push the machine to the limits. It's like 453 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 1: going um and what follows is a sugar fueled fever dream. 454 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 1: Bart snaps out of it to find out he's joined 455 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 1: a scout group called the Junior Campers and not very 456 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 1: not very cool. That's really mad. And squishies are already 457 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 1: risky before you make him a super squishy. They don't 458 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 1: have any natural ingredients, not even pure water, so who's 459 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 1: a risk? And then there's a Grandma PLoP Wells pudding. 460 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 1: Grandma PLoP well she's sort of the Springfield version of 461 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 1: Betty Crocker. Um. It's touted as a low fat snack 462 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 1: and pops up as part of the How Low Will 463 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 1: You Go contest, in which Homer wins second prize after 464 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 1: he gets bombarded by these Grandma puts. The audience is 465 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:21,000 Speaker 1: just throwing them at him. And then we have seven 466 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 1: seven x four two, which is a super sour lemon 467 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 1: ball that Professor Frank displayed at the Springfield Candy Convention, 468 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 1: and he claims that it had to be suspended and 469 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 1: a magnetic field due to its level of sourness. But 470 00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 1: of course, of course Homer ate it, and his face 471 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 1: gets like puckered to a very disturbing degree. Oh yeah, 472 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 1: sucked right in, right in, and it's very obvious that 473 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 1: he ate it. He's like no. Also, there is the 474 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 1: gummy Venus to Milo. Oh yeah, which is a very 475 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 1: expensive piece of gummy art. Uh that yes, Homer steals 476 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 1: and a very action movie type sequence. But then he 477 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,719 Speaker 1: can't find it and it spends like the whole episode 478 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 1: looking for it. At the end, sees it's attached to 479 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 1: the back of the babysitter's leggings and he retrieves it, 480 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 1: which of course gets him in trouble. But he does 481 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:22,719 Speaker 1: retrieve it and he eats it. Gummy art, all right, 482 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:29,240 Speaker 1: gone like that, and yeah, the the aforementioned Professor Frank 483 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 1: has a lot of great inventions over over the years, 484 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:36,240 Speaker 1: including the slightly more practical than the super sour lemon ball, 485 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:42,640 Speaker 1: the slightly more practical hamburger ear muffs. Yes, yes, toasty warm, 486 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 1: I mean that sounds nice, and then have a snack sack. 487 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:51,360 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't see any issue here functional perhaps 488 00:32:51,360 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 1: food safety. Speaking of food safety, Oh yeah, I remember 489 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,760 Speaker 1: this one too. I actually used it for inspiration for 490 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 1: something that I wrote. So, after Homer tries everything on 491 00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:12,520 Speaker 1: the menu at this restaurant called Happy Sma Sushi, there's 492 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:16,480 Speaker 1: only one thing left, the fabled fugu fish. Um, and 493 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 1: he demands to try it. And this is an item 494 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:23,280 Speaker 1: that is deadly if not properly prepared. And yeah, this 495 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 1: is this is a puff puffer fish right exactly. And 496 00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 1: uh and meanwhile the the real sushi chef is like 497 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:34,520 Speaker 1: out back, uh have an adventure times with a lady um. 498 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 1: And so the uh, the like inexperienced sush chef is 499 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,760 Speaker 1: in there and has to prepare it and is terrified yes, 500 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:47,440 Speaker 1: but serves it. He does, and and Homer is given 501 00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:52,080 Speaker 1: a day to live possibly after ingesting it. It kind 502 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 1: of goes on like a bucket list reevaluation of his life. Yeah, 503 00:33:58,160 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 1: but then he doesn't die and he goes back to 504 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 1: is normal terrible ways. I mean that's the listen gives 505 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 1: us another type of fish, three eyed fish. Oh no, 506 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:18,680 Speaker 1: blinky is not a food. Blinky fish our friends, not food. 507 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:23,200 Speaker 1: It's pretty much exactly what it sounds like. It's a 508 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 1: three eyed fish. The mutation was caused by these fish 509 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 1: swimming near the nuclear power plants, and in one episode, 510 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:33,440 Speaker 1: the power plants owner Mr Burns Um, who is running 511 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,879 Speaker 1: for governor in this episode, tries to fend off bad 512 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:39,959 Speaker 1: press by eating a three eyed fish that bart Cott 513 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 1: named Yes, blinky blank, Yeah, it's it's it's kind of 514 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,640 Speaker 1: this this thing where you know, he's he's making the 515 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,880 Speaker 1: argument like like oh no, that's that fish is fine, 516 00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,239 Speaker 1: Like look at how happy and healthy it is, Like 517 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,719 Speaker 1: there's nothing wrong with that fish. I'm not polluting the 518 00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 1: river with these pollutants that I I would eat that 519 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 1: fish exactly. But yeah, he can't make it through one byte, 520 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:10,680 Speaker 1: not a single bite, Poor blinky, poor blinkey. Another of 521 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:16,400 Speaker 1: Mr burns perhaps failed food food attempts um is Little 522 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:21,240 Speaker 1: Lisa Slurry, and this is an idea he got after 523 00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:27,239 Speaker 1: misinterpreting Lisa's explanation of recycling UM. So this is a 524 00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:31,080 Speaker 1: multi purpose product that can be used as engine coolant. 525 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:37,279 Speaker 1: Low income housing installation and explosive and animal food. It's 526 00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 1: made of dead sea animals. Hince his view of the recycling. Lisa, 527 00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,600 Speaker 1: of course, who is a vegetarian, right, she's not vegan, No, 528 00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:51,279 Speaker 1: she's vegetarian vegetarian is disgusted by it. Lisa goes vegetarian 529 00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,480 Speaker 1: in an episode on the show UM where Paul and 530 00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:58,399 Speaker 1: Linda McCartney guest star, and apparently their condition for guest 531 00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,239 Speaker 1: starring was that Lisa had too, was that it wasn't 532 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,719 Speaker 1: just like a like a joke for a single episode, 533 00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,480 Speaker 1: that the character would remain vegetarian for the rest of 534 00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:10,920 Speaker 1: the series. And she has. She has was really powerful. 535 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:14,200 Speaker 1: I remember that one too. Yeah. Um. And then we 536 00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:19,839 Speaker 1: have some baked products, starting with moon waffles, and these 537 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,840 Speaker 1: are Homer's space Age out of this World waffles, and 538 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:26,040 Speaker 1: I can I read the process for making these courtesy 539 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:31,520 Speaker 1: of fandom Wicki. I think, as we often say on 540 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 1: the show, like in order to really understand what a 541 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:35,920 Speaker 1: thing is, you have to know how to make it. 542 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 1: So go ahead, It's true and uh, thanks to the 543 00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:44,160 Speaker 1: Simpsons fandom Wicki for so much of this very helpful. 544 00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:48,799 Speaker 1: So steps, plug in your waffle iron and turn it on. 545 00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,400 Speaker 1: Then open it up and prepare the ingredients. Pour the 546 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:55,400 Speaker 1: whole bag of caramel cubes into the waffle iron. Oh gosh, 547 00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,880 Speaker 1: overflow the waffle iron with waffle batter. Add a healthy 548 00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:02,920 Speaker 1: portion of liquid smoke. Close the waffle iron. Try eating 549 00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:06,200 Speaker 1: the overflowing waffle batter that's pouring out of the waffle iron. 550 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,880 Speaker 1: If it tastes terrible, then proceed. If you taste anything 551 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,440 Speaker 1: that counts as tasty, start over and add moral to 552 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,960 Speaker 1: quid smoke. Open the waffle iron once the waffle is 553 00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,760 Speaker 1: burnt and put it on a blate. Put an entire 554 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,400 Speaker 1: stick of butter on top of the waffle. Cover up 555 00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,719 Speaker 1: the butter with a waffle as if it were a tortilla. 556 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,959 Speaker 1: Poke the wooden skewer through the waffle and butter. Try 557 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:33,120 Speaker 1: not to burn your mouth when you take a bite. Yeah, um, 558 00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,759 Speaker 1: it's ah. This is another clip that's really close to 559 00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:39,440 Speaker 1: my heart. Um because because like as like Homer takes 560 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:44,000 Speaker 1: a big bite of it and just goes fat. And yeah, 561 00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,360 Speaker 1: I think findly I I think about that clip like 562 00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,239 Speaker 1: once every two weeks at least. That was super fun. 563 00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,200 Speaker 1: I I I hadn't heard of that one, and I 564 00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:54,719 Speaker 1: looked it up and I really enjoyed it. And then 565 00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,200 Speaker 1: since we did an episode on Muffins recently, didn't want 566 00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:01,520 Speaker 1: to talk about Muff said, can't believe I forgot about this, 567 00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:05,000 Speaker 1: oh man, Muff said, this is a Muffin shop from 568 00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:09,040 Speaker 1: season two that opened on the same street as Edna 569 00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:13,000 Speaker 1: crab Apple Shop Edna's Edibles. And of course that wasn't 570 00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:16,040 Speaker 1: the only competition that street had. There was also muff 571 00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:20,440 Speaker 1: mart Hr Muffin Stuff and our Crumbs Keep on Muffin 572 00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:28,680 Speaker 1: and muff might be a Marvel reference to Nuff said, maybe, maybe, maybe, 573 00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:31,759 Speaker 1: but yeah, I right, yeah, that that that would have 574 00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,719 Speaker 1: come out right in the in the middle of the 575 00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,880 Speaker 1: muffin boom that we were talking about in the Muffin episode. 576 00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:41,600 Speaker 1: So the Muffin boom. I love that. It was such 577 00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:46,160 Speaker 1: a thing that multiple shows Bar did it, like Seinfile did, 578 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:53,080 Speaker 1: the Simpsons did. That's great. There's also Pretzel wagon Um, 579 00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:57,880 Speaker 1: which is something that Marge invested in, the franchise pretzel 580 00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:01,919 Speaker 1: based food truck Um, and she decided to do that 581 00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:05,359 Speaker 1: after the members at a Ladies investment club mocked her 582 00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:09,200 Speaker 1: about how careful she was with money, and Lisa helps 583 00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:11,680 Speaker 1: out on the marketing side, but it is largely a disaster, 584 00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:14,759 Speaker 1: including a free pretzel day that went terribly awry. I 585 00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:16,680 Speaker 1: think everybody just took the pretzels and threw them at 586 00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:18,960 Speaker 1: Mr Burns or something. Yeah, it was at a at 587 00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:21,799 Speaker 1: a baseball game, I think.

I can't remember it, 655 00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:52,880 Speaker 1: but it was very silly. I think it's the three 656 00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:57,880 Speaker 1: mouth cutiers. Yes, that's right, Yeah, the three mouth cut tears. 657 00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:00,160 Speaker 1: I haven't I have not seen this episode, but um, 658 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:02,120 Speaker 1: but I've read a lot about it in the past 659 00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:08,000 Speaker 1: twenty four hours. Yes, yeah, I couldn't not include any 660 00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:11,319 Speaker 1: of the examples because everyone I was laughing. Yep, I've 661 00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:16,720 Speaker 1: seen Yes, I know exactly what you're talking about. Okay, 662 00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:19,480 Speaker 1: So that's we could keep going on and on and 663 00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:23,520 Speaker 1: on and on. Absolutely, that's about all we're going to 664 00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:25,799 Speaker 1: talk about the fictional foods. We did want to talk 665 00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:32,319 Speaker 1: about a real food, the Butterfinger babies. Yeah, because right 666 00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:36,360 Speaker 1: because Bart was like the spokesperson for for Butterfinger for 667 00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:40,920 Speaker 1: a long time, and Butterfinger babies are this very specific 668 00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:47,799 Speaker 1: uh thing. Yeah, and so most of us, and as 669 00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:50,160 Speaker 1: we are on a food show, Lauren and the super 670 00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:52,040 Speaker 1: producers and I have talked about this a lot. Most 671 00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:56,200 Speaker 1: of us have this discontinued food that we desperately miss. 672 00:44:56,920 --> 00:45:00,279 Speaker 1: For me, it's the twisted fill. Just Twizzlers was like 673 00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:03,160 Speaker 1: a watermelon. It's not that other thing. People keep telling 674 00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:06,759 Speaker 1: me it's not. It's a different thing. Um. I have 675 00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:10,319 Speaker 1: a whole podcast idea around this. It's called Twisted. It's 676 00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:15,120 Speaker 1: going to be great. Um. But for a superproducer Andrew, 677 00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:19,240 Speaker 1: this kind of missed discontinued food is the Butterfinger baby. 678 00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:23,160 Speaker 1: And these were essentially a Butterfinger candy bar, but in 679 00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:27,440 Speaker 1: the little marble size ball format, and the chocolate had 680 00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:30,680 Speaker 1: a really low melting point, so getting your hands covered 681 00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:34,239 Speaker 1: with the chocolate was inevitable and sort of a part 682 00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:36,440 Speaker 1: of the experience in the same way that Grito dust 683 00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:40,759 Speaker 1: is a part of the experience. They were launch but 684 00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:46,960 Speaker 1: discontinued in two thousand six too much outcry, multiple petitions 685 00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:51,920 Speaker 1: to bring it back, Facebook pages dedicated to bringing it back, 686 00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:55,399 Speaker 1: so eventually Nestleie did they caved and that they bought 687 00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:58,080 Speaker 1: them back. But it was only briefly, and only it 688 00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:02,200 Speaker 1: was under the name Butterfinger Mini Lights. Apparently the Internet 689 00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:06,919 Speaker 1: tells me it wasn't the same goodness. I will say 690 00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:09,719 Speaker 1: that Butterfinger Babies when I was running, um, when when 691 00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:12,320 Speaker 1: I had to participate in like in like candy sales 692 00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:16,520 Speaker 1: in school, um, they were by far the number one seller. 693 00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:23,440 Speaker 1: Oh really interesting. Okay, They're definitely my older brother's favorite 694 00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:26,440 Speaker 1: candy Butterfingers in general, and he was like, he is 695 00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:29,400 Speaker 1: a huge Simpsons fan. I have no idea if that 696 00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:35,200 Speaker 1: there's like any there, but um, so yeah, if we're 697 00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:37,000 Speaker 1: talking about what this has to do with the Simpsons, 698 00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:41,160 Speaker 1: Butterfingers and the Simpsons have a long relationship going all 699 00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:46,239 Speaker 1: the way back to when The Simpsons was still just 700 00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:49,920 Speaker 1: a part of the Tracy Ulman Show. And that year 701 00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:53,440 Speaker 1: Bart Simpson appeared in a commercial for the Butterfinger candy bar, 702 00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:57,440 Speaker 1: calling it Nato and saying the classic line that no 703 00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:01,319 Speaker 1: one better lay a finger on my butterfinger. Um. And 704 00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:03,440 Speaker 1: for a lot of people, this was their first exposure 705 00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:08,160 Speaker 1: to these Simpsons characters. And these characters began appearing on 706 00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:11,600 Speaker 1: Butterfinger packaging in the early nineteen nineties, and I was 707 00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:15,319 Speaker 1: looking through old archives of it and like, um, some 708 00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:17,120 Speaker 1: of them. You you would open it up and they 709 00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:21,560 Speaker 1: had zodiacs, like funny zodiac signs featuring Barts. So they 710 00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:25,480 Speaker 1: were sort of collectibles in that way. Um. When this 711 00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:29,560 Speaker 1: relationship ended, the show poked fun at Butterfingers an episode 712 00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:32,040 Speaker 1: where Marge went on a crusade to get rid of 713 00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:36,640 Speaker 1: sugar completely in Springfield and then in Nestley, and the 714 00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:40,080 Speaker 1: Simpsons reunited with an ad campaign that included a national 715 00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:43,080 Speaker 1: van tour to get to the bottom of who stole 716 00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:48,160 Speaker 1: Bart's butterfinger, had a contest and everything. Um, and I 717 00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:50,680 Speaker 1: didn't know this, but apparently the original recipe for the 718 00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:56,359 Speaker 1: butterfinger may have been lost really. Yeah, gosh, is that 719 00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:58,839 Speaker 1: why there's a new formula out now? Is that why 720 00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:01,600 Speaker 1: there was a new butterfinger? I don't know, but we 721 00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:03,960 Speaker 1: have to find out. I want to do a future episode. 722 00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:06,960 Speaker 1: We do, We absolutely do, because I've had one of 723 00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,040 Speaker 1: those new butter fingers and it does not taste the same. 724 00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:12,399 Speaker 1: Yeah you told me this. I remember the original being 725 00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:15,800 Speaker 1: way more like cloying lee sweet, like this was only 726 00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:21,719 Speaker 1: like normal sweet, only normal sweet. Yeah. I read a 727 00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,680 Speaker 1: whole thing about about that, and the one of the 728 00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:27,759 Speaker 1: spokespeople saying she thought it was funny. There was this 729 00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:32,120 Speaker 1: huge backlash. People will get over it, like people will 730 00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:37,480 Speaker 1: still hung up on these butterfinger babies, but maybe maybe 731 00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:41,399 Speaker 1: one day. And this doesn't does have a really long 732 00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:44,480 Speaker 1: history of featuring real food and drink products and restaurants 733 00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:47,879 Speaker 1: and so like KFC was one. We could have done 734 00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:52,480 Speaker 1: a whole section on that. But oh sure, Yeah, it's 735 00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:57,680 Speaker 1: it really is, I mean, like like remarkable or I 736 00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:00,000 Speaker 1: guess expected it's. It's it's such a it's such an 737 00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:03,000 Speaker 1: interesting show because it really is supposed to be this 738 00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:06,040 Speaker 1: this very slice of life kind of thing, and uh, 739 00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:09,960 Speaker 1: and so of course food comes up a lot, and uh, 740 00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:13,080 Speaker 1: you know, both both parodies of real world stuff and 741 00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:16,000 Speaker 1: just real world stuff just gets tossed in there. So yeah, 742 00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:21,440 Speaker 1: I know ocean spray wasn't there too. Um yeah, it's funny. 743 00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:23,440 Speaker 1: I like how you like you see you dead lobster 744 00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:25,680 Speaker 1: and you you immediately know, oh yeah, red lobster are 745 00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:31,719 Speaker 1: very very enjoyable to me personally. But there you go. 746 00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:36,200 Speaker 1: That's our fictional foods round Up plus real foods round 747 00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:43,319 Speaker 1: Up on The Simpsons.

Anyway, Okay, 755 00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:25,320 Speaker 1: that's a very hard one to communicate. I was just 756 00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:28,719 Speaker 1: making like gestury hands. Yeah it was.

Anyway, um Mary wrote 758 00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:38,160 Speaker 1: I was listening to your Easter Egg episode and had 759 00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:40,760 Speaker 1: to write to you after your reaction to Egg tapping. 760 00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:44,440 Speaker 1: Since my family has a tradition of annual egg wars, 761 00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:48,719 Speaker 1: we color eggs at my grandmother's house the day before Easter. 762 00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:51,320 Speaker 1: In addition to the regular designs, we use crayons to 763 00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:53,640 Speaker 1: write the name of each family member on an egg 764 00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:57,680 Speaker 1: before dying them. After Easter dinner the next day, everyone 765 00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:01,239 Speaker 1: takes their labeled egg and the wars starts. The two 766 00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:04,480 Speaker 1: youngest family members present start by tapping the ends of 767 00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:06,960 Speaker 1: their eggs together until one breaks. The owner of the 768 00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:10,560 Speaker 1: unbroken egg then challenges the next oldest relative, and so on. 769 00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:14,960 Speaker 1: The final champion gets bragging rights, but also who makes 770 00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:18,480 Speaker 1: it through several rounds is also congratulated. The final champion 771 00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:20,920 Speaker 1: gets bragging rights, but anyone who makes it through several 772 00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:24,359 Speaker 1: rounds is also congratulated. We've been doing this for longer 773 00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:26,400 Speaker 1: than I've been alive, and I have no idea how 774 00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:29,400 Speaker 1: it started. But even this year we joked about how 775 00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:32,400 Speaker 1: to have egg wars over Zoom on Easter Sunday, with 776 00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:36,000 Speaker 1: a couple of my aunts and uncles having to person competitions. 777 00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:40,080 Speaker 1: This is so great.

It is so delightful 779 00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:46,759 Speaker 1: that there has just been this outpouring of like, yes, 780 00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:49,759 Speaker 1: of course we have egg wars and it's this very 781 00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:54,759 Speaker 1: dramatic thing and very intense competition. I am doing this 782 00:51:54,920 --> 00:52:03,680 Speaker 1: next easter totally totally how a competition, right? Uh huh, 783 00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:08,359 Speaker 1: Ryan wrote, I listened to your recent fantastic podcast on asparagus, 784 00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:11,000 Speaker 1: thank you, and had to share a story about white asparagus. 785 00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:13,440 Speaker 1: In April of twenty nineteen, my wife and I took 786 00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:15,960 Speaker 1: a two week trip to Germany and Austria. As you 787 00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:19,320 Speaker 1: mentioned in your podcast, white asparagus is eaten in these countries. 788 00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:22,719 Speaker 1: We spent two days in a town called Rothenburg Obtaber, 789 00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:25,879 Speaker 1: a beautiful old German town with one of Germany's only 790 00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:29,920 Speaker 1: fully preserved city walls encircling the whole town. One night 791 00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:33,040 Speaker 1: in Roethenburg, we went to a restaurant called zer Hole, 792 00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:37,560 Speaker 1: which translates to hell. Our guide had told us on 793 00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:40,480 Speaker 1: a tour that this restaurant offers drinks and snacks very 794 00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:43,160 Speaker 1: late into the night. So if you are out late 795 00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:45,360 Speaker 1: at night in Rothenburg, had a bit to drink and 796 00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:47,719 Speaker 1: are getting a little noisy and someone yells out at you, 797 00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:51,320 Speaker 1: go to hell. It's actually good advice, but I digress. 798 00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:54,719 Speaker 1: While we were ordering dinner, our waiter told us that 799 00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:57,400 Speaker 1: the special of the evening was white asparagus soup. He 800 00:52:57,520 --> 00:52:59,320 Speaker 1: told us it had just come in season and was 801 00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:01,640 Speaker 1: only in season for a few weeks. Of course we 802 00:53:01,719 --> 00:53:03,920 Speaker 1: had to try it, and it was so delicious. It 803 00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:07,040 Speaker 1: definitely tasted like asparagus, and it was probably very similar 804 00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:09,759 Speaker 1: to a cream of asparagus type soup made with regular asparagus. 805 00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:11,800 Speaker 1: But we were so glad to get to try it, 806 00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:14,200 Speaker 1: because trying new foods is one of the reasons we 807 00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:22,480 Speaker 1: love to travel. Yes, so us too, Absolutely, I really, yes, 808 00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:24,840 Speaker 1: I really, I really want to really want to go 809 00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:28,759 Speaker 1: somewhere and try white asparagus and many other foods. But yeah, 810 00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:32,200 Speaker 1: I mean, we're definitely getting a lot more mounting reasons 811 00:53:32,760 --> 00:53:35,520 Speaker 1: to make this trip to Europe to try exparagus. Y 812 00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:39,239 Speaker 1: sparagus happened. I mean, previously I was like, okay, like 813 00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:41,640 Speaker 1: we've got this hook up in Champagne, so we should 814 00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:44,400 Speaker 1: probably go to there, um, But now I'm like, I 815 00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:47,200 Speaker 1: don't know, I might be more interested in white asparagus. 816 00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:52,160 Speaker 1: There's no reason we couldn't do both.
