We love it absolutely, 9 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: Oh it is. It is seriously like one of the 10 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:44,839 Speaker 1: very best parts of my day. Um. And it's always surprising, 11 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 1: right like I can't I can never guess what wonderful 12 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,559 Speaker 1: thing I'm going to learn about our laugh at when 13 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:59,279 Speaker 1: I opened the listen Yes, ah, yes, and um, just 14 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: an update, we are still in our closet studios and 15 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,759 Speaker 1: it is storming once again here in Atlanta. Yep, yep 16 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:11,320 Speaker 1: so um so if y'all hear any um thunderree sounds, um, 17 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: it's it's not um. It's not super producer Andrew putting 18 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,039 Speaker 1: in any kind of special effects. It is genuinely just 19 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 1: the listener mail of doom. Yes, some atmosphere I love 20 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: listener Maile of Doom. That's another idea for some kind 21 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: of superhero thing. I'll think about it. Also, I would 22 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:38,119 Speaker 1: not put it past superproducer Andrew to pull such high Okay, alright, yes, 23 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: now that you mentioned it that there might I have 24 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: faith in y'all to figure out which ones. Um, we're 25 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: real thunderclaps and think, yes, I believe that you can 26 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: do it. Um. But okay, let's start, and we're going 27 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: to start with a topic we did I think at 28 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: the beginning of Quarantine because it was a comfort food episode, right, milkshakes, 29 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: Carly wrote, I was listening to your milkshakes episode and 30 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: your discussion on the thickness of milkshakes made me realize 31 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: you don't have thick shakes in America. In Australia, we 32 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: have both thick shakes and milkshakes, which are differentiated by 33 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 1: their thickness and ice cream content. I also have a 34 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: milkshake story. When my family goes to Brisbane Slashed the 35 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: Sunshine Coast for the day, we will sometimes get a 36 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: drink from a lint shop there. Well, one time my 37 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: mom got a vanilla milkshake, and that's in quotes, that 38 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,079 Speaker 1: was apparently so strongly flavored it tasted like drinking straight 39 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 1: melted white chocolate, way too sweet and way too rich. 40 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: My mom was so scarred by this that it was 41 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 1: about eighteen months before she had another vanilla milkshake. Anytime 42 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: milkshakes were mentioned after his mom would bring up the 43 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: terrible vanilla milkshake. We of course love teasing her about 44 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: it and would ask her if she wanted a vanilla milkshake. 45 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: The story does have a happy ending, though, as my 46 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: mom has since had another vanilla shake from the Lynch 47 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 1: Shop and it was much nicer. She maintains that whoever 48 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: made it had made a mistake and added way too 49 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 1: much flavoring. My mom is actually a complainer, would never 50 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: demand to see a manager complain to an employee about 51 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: a bad meal. However, within the family, she has a 52 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: hard time for getting a bad meal or dish from 53 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: our restaurant, much to our entertainment. You know, I'd be 54 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 1: really interested for listeners from um the North to write 55 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 1: in and maybe you have experienced with this, lord, because 56 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: I know there's like custard and brick, there are other 57 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: things that I don't have a lot of experience with 58 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: that might be the sort of thick shake that you're 59 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: talking about. Um Um, I do, I do not recall 60 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: there being like a separate category for those in the north. 61 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: And maybe I mean I I really only lived there 62 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: when I was very young, Um, But but I recall 63 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: not be particularly surprised when I moved to the South, 64 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: so that ya want to heard that one? That must 65 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: have been some kind of blasphemous statement when I moved 66 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: to the south. Crack she bought then with her, UM, 67 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:22,919 Speaker 1: and I did want to share real quick my mom. 68 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: She her. The funny thing food thing with her is 69 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 1: she always debates so much about what she's going to 70 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: get when when we're allowed to go to restaurants again. 71 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: And I'm sure she'll she'll do it, but she debates 72 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: so much and she's like, what are you getting? What 73 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,479 Speaker 1: are you getting? That she contemplates and she decides and 74 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: she's like, yes, I want this, this, this, And when 75 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: the waiter asked what she wants, she always changes her 76 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: mind at the last minute, always to something random that 77 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: wasn't even like that wasn't even that's great. Oh that's amazing. Um. Heck, 78 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 1: my my dad, I think I mentioned a couple of 79 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: times on this show before UM was in the restaurant 80 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 1: industry and he was infamously bad about complaining about every 81 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: meal that he got like like not even like like hey, 82 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: like send this back, but like, hey, can you send 83 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,359 Speaker 1: out your head chef because I need to talk to 84 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 1: them about something. Um, I have some notes. Yeah, yeah, 85 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: And I was always like, dad, can we just eat 86 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: our ribs? Can we please? Just? Oh my heck? Like 87 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:37,559 Speaker 1: it was, Um, I I have come to a place 88 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 1: where I find it endearing. Yes, yes, Honestly, at the time, 89 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: I was always just kind of like the like the 90 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 1: poor human would show up and I would just like shrug, 91 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 1: like twelve year old lore and would be like sorry 92 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 1: about it, man, Like I don't know. I can't help you. 93 00:05:54,839 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 1: I've tried for years. Oh, speaking of comfort foods, though 94 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:08,239 Speaker 1: we've got one about pizza. Jess wrote, I recently discovered 95 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: your podcast from an episode of Creature feature Oh yeah, 96 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 1: and have been working my way through all your episodes 97 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 1: in literally no order. So I may be a bit 98 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: behind the times by responding to your pizza episode, but 99 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: I had a funny pizza habit I wanted to share. 100 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 1: I'm an Italian from New York, so pizza is sacred. 101 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: Every family I knew had intense feelings about why their 102 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: pizza place was the best. Same for bagels, but that's 103 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 1: a different story. Every Friday night in my house was 104 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: pizza night, easily the best night of the week. My 105 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: mom was on a diet at the time, so she 106 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,359 Speaker 1: should always make herself a piece of chicken or fish, 107 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: while my brother, sister, dad, and I all ate our slices. 108 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 1: But there was one treat she did allow herself, the 109 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,359 Speaker 1: crusts our crusts. Whenever she saw that someone was getting 110 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: close to finishing their slice, should give them a look 111 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: and they would hand over their crust to her for 112 00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: her little pizza morsel. She allowed herself the crusted, not 113 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: the pizza, because the crest didn't have the cheese, toppings, etcetera, 114 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: so it wasn't quite as bad for you. So to 115 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: combat this and keep my crusts, I would always remove 116 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: everything on top of the pizza, cheese toppings, and all 117 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: ripped my crust open down the middle and stuff all 118 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: the toppings inside. It worked pretty well because it gave 119 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: flavor to the crust, but the toppingless pizza still had 120 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: remnants of sauce, so it was still more flavorful than 121 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: the regular old crest. I stopped doing this a while 122 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: ago because any time I ate pizza with someone new, 123 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: the entire conversation turned into asking me just what the 124 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: hell I was doing and why I was committing pizza sacrilege. 125 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: But honestly, it was pretty delicious. I mean, you were 126 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 1: pioneering stuffed crust, you were it does it makes me 127 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: laugh that it's sort of understood that, at least in 128 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: mid range, to cheat pizza, the crust is just not 129 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: good and you won't eat it unless it's stuffed with 130 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: something or dipped in butter, and then it's the best. 131 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: Then it's a treat exactly. But I know I've said 132 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: before on this show my pizza sacrileges, I eat crust 133 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: first because I liked having the last bit, saving my 134 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: favorite part for last. And I feel like the best 135 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: part of the pizza is like at the end, near 136 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: the top, at the triangle edge. Um, so people would 137 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 1: always It's true. People do feel very comfortable about asking 138 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: you why you're eating your pizza the way that you're eating. Yeah. Yeah, 139 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 1: I mean, and no matter what it is you're doing, 140 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: I feel like if it is just vaguely different from 141 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 1: what they're doing, they're like, hey, what's up with that? 142 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 1: I need to I've got I've got a few questions. 143 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: How much time do you have? Yes? Yes, and they 144 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: pull out goggles and a notebook if you're me, which 145 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 1: I have actually done, but it was with our friend 146 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: Bim Bolan, so I feel like that. Oh yeah, that 147 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: was completely appropriate with Ben. Yes. Oh, speaking of Ben 148 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 1: and pizza, this is a good segue to our next topic, 149 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: which is Ranch. It is okay, Annie, are you comfortable 150 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 1: reading this one out loud? I'm a little nervous, to 151 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 1: be honest, I can. I can take it if you 152 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: want me to. Uh yeah, maybe maybe you should, Lauren, 153 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: maybe you should take Okay? All right? So Zombie Gravy 154 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 1: wrote from Instagram, I'm listening to your Ranch episode right now, 155 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 1: and the controversy is real. I'm a cocoa bar in 156 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: Fort Collins, Colorado. The coworker who trained me is originally 157 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: from the northeast coast, and he always called Ranch Colorado. Catchup. 158 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: I've never lived outside Colorado. I hadn't realized that our 159 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 1: use of Ranch was, to put it lightly liberal. We 160 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 1: don't only dip our chicken, fingers, wings and veggies and ranch. 161 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: Oh No, we dip our pizza, our breadsticks, are sausages, hamburgers, 162 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 1: potato chips, and more, including, of course, our Rocky Mountain 163 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 1: oysters winky face. There has even been tell in the 164 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 1: service industry of Red Robin customers drinking Ranch by the 165 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: Ramikan fall. Is it like this everywhere? Apparently not. Annie, 166 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: you said it's hard for you to imagine Ranch on 167 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: every table. Girl, come Colorado. And by the way, Ranch 168 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 1: is already here for your fries. I'm so disturbed right now. 169 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: I feel unsettled, untethered in this world. I thought. Oh, oh, 170 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,959 Speaker 1: I wish you all could see he's face right now. 171 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: She's so completely horrified. Oh my gosh. For any listeners 172 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 1: who don't know me and Ben in our episode on Ranch, 173 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: we detest it like that. I have five foods I 174 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 1: don't like and Ranch is up there. Yeah, it's it's 175 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: the it's the Mayo relation, right, you don't like like 176 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 1: the Yes, it's exactly that. Oh stomach. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Yeah, 177 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: I mean I really want to go to Colorado, but 178 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: I'm going to have to. I'm glad I'm alerted to this. 179 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: Then it wasn't app It's better to know. It's better 180 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: to know right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, because I can 181 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: only imagine my horror when I realized when everyone was 182 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,680 Speaker 1: tipping stuff the rule. But it is a true It's 183 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: all true. Yeah. Well, there is a part of me 184 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: that is delighted by this, um, your liberal use of ranch. 185 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: I can appreciate it. Look from a distance from over here, yes, 186 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: an extreme distance. But I don't know. There's a part 187 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 1: of me that I my heart is both sickened and warmed. 188 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 1: It's a very confusing sensation I'm feeling right now. Uh 189 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:11,679 Speaker 1: uh Okay, Well here's one. I'm not sure if it's 190 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: going to be better, but this this one's about margarine, Okay. 191 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: Ms MJB wrote in on Instagram with an image of 192 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: an ad from the September sixty six edition of Life magazine. 193 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 1: And this ad was placed by the National Association of 194 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: Margarine Manufacturers and and the ad is just this this 195 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: solid golden yellow page with a huge numeral seven on it, 196 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: and the text next to the numeral seven reads, um, 197 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: modern margarine is one of the basic seven foods our 198 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 1: government recommends we eat every day for good nutrition. And 199 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: then in larger text at the bottom, it says modern 200 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: margarine is a highly digestible energy food and a dependable 201 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: source of vitamin A.

Try it's honest 204 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:13,839 Speaker 1: goodness on bread, rolls, waffles, or baked potatoes all timey ads, 205 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 1: you've got all of them. The word yeah, spread badly, 206 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 1: spread it freely. Oh that's as eye catching too. Uh 207 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: you know.

But maybe that says more about 211 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:54,199 Speaker 1: my state of mind then it does about anything else. Yeah, 212 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not sure. At first glance, I 213 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: had a very what is this selling me and why 214 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: kind of feeling about it. But but I feel that 215 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: way about The ads from that era were very aggressive 216 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 1: visually speaking. Um but okay, alright, I'm gonna I'm gonna 217 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: stop torturing you. Thank you.

Yes, yes, let's 219 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 1: move on to easter because we do have some some 220 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 1: more of those wonderful Eastern egg rollings letters. They're so good. 221 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: Oh you listeners, not let us down when it came 222 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 1: to that. H Hannah wrote, I just listened to your 223 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 1: Easter egg episode and it made me very nostalgic for 224 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: the Easter egg escapades of your Growing up, Easter was 225 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: a very egg centric holiday. It started with boiling and 226 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: dying eggs, then hiding and finding said eggs, and then 227 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 1: finally making an eating deviled eggs out of those same eggs. 228 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 1: My mom was infamous for over boiling her hard boiled eggs, 229 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 1: marked by that infamous grayish ring around the yolk. However, 230 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: one year, there was a massive thunderstorm on Easter. We 231 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 1: grew up in Florida, so that's not uncommon, and the 232 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: power went out just as Mom was bringing the water 233 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 1: to boil. The burner on the stove turned off, and 234 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: Mom decided to just leave the eggs in the hot 235 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 1: water for a bit before chilling and peeling the eggs. 236 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 1: The eggs were so all good. Ever since then, we've 237 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: used the bring to a boil, turn off the heat, 238 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 1: and let them sit method of making boiled eggs. While 239 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 1: Mom was in charge of making the eggs, Dad was 240 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 1: in charge of hiding them. One year, Dad took an 241 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 1: orange dyed egg and hid it in the orange tree 242 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 1: in her backyard. Again, it's Florida, so of course we 243 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 1: had an orange tree. To clarify a Dad didn't just 244 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 1: stick the egg on a branch of the tree or something. 245 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 1: The Mattman actually climbed her orange tree, hollowed out an 246 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 1: orange while keeping it attached, and hid an orange egg 247 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 1: in it. We didn't find it for several hours. I'm 248 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: amazed you found it at all. Finally, there were the 249 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: deviled eggs, which we always called bubble eggs because I 250 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: had a really bad lisp as a child, and that's 251 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 1: what I call them to this day. Bubble eggs made 252 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 1: with extra mustard, very little mayo, and a generous sprinkle 253 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 1: of paper cup just the way a little Hannah like them, 254 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 1: are an Easter tradition for my family. Even this year, 255 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 1: all of my family video called and we all separately 256 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: made bubble eggs. Even when apart, we can still keep 257 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 1: up the tradition. Oh bubble eggs and that orange. Oh 258 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: my gosh, that is impressive. That that is next level. 259 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: Um oh oh man, I miss h I missed the 260 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 1: citrus trees and the frequent thunderstorms of South Florida. This 261 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 1: this is actually one of my most soothing noises that's 262 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 1: happening in the background right and right now. Me too. Yeah, uh, 263 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 1: Gabby wrote, I'm so excited to finally have the opportunity 264 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,160 Speaker 1: to write in about something on the topic of Easter 265 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,119 Speaker 1: egg hunting. Two years ago, my boyfriend and I planned 266 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 1: to partake in two Easter egg hunts for adults. We 267 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 1: are twenty four and twenty five years old. The first 268 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 1: was a park wide hunt for plastic eggs with vouchers 269 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 1: to redeem at local bars. We drove the fifteen minutes 270 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: to the park and arrived promptly at seven am, the 271 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 1: advertised start time, and wandered the park for half an hour. 272 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 1: One gentleman saw us looking under a bush and asked 273 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,360 Speaker 1: if we were also looking for Easter eggs. He said 274 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: he couldn't find any either, and we determined a group 275 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 1: of immoral folk can I call them bad eggs must 276 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:40,159 Speaker 1: have arrived much earlier and swiped them all. The second 277 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: egg hunt was at a local bar called the Sugar Maple. 278 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 1: We thought would have a pretty good chance of finding something, 279 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 1: considering the bar was made up of one large room 280 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 1: with minimal places to hide things. We arrived only a 281 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 1: few minutes late, ordered beer, and waited until an announcement 282 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 1: was made. There were a handful of patrons at the bar, 283 00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 1: chatting with each other and and not at all looking 284 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,439 Speaker 1: like they were about to wrestle. So went over a 285 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 1: plastic egg. This was good. After about ten minutes, I 286 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,199 Speaker 1: asked a bartender if the egg hunt had begun, and 287 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,639 Speaker 1: she replied that it had already happened and the eggs 288 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,400 Speaker 1: were found. So we sat back down and played Cards 289 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 1: against Humanity instead. Two foiled egg hunts, right, and both 290 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 1: sounds like so much fun. I know this did make 291 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 1: me question One time I found an Easter egg containing 292 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,879 Speaker 1: a prize in it on the belt line and I 293 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,240 Speaker 1: picked it up and took it. And now I'm wondering 294 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 1: if there was some Easter egg going on and I 295 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: should not act. I was like, oh, egg, but knowing 296 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,719 Speaker 1: the belt line, that could have been from you know, 297 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 1: any time, that could have been from months prior. It 298 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: could have been it could have been what was what 299 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: was inside? Um tickets to baseball game? Yeah? Well yeah cool? 300 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 1: And uh they they were for upcoming games, So I 301 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:09,399 Speaker 1: don't know. I Oh, I don't know. Maybe I was 302 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: a bad egg myself that day or maybe not. That 303 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 1: was a long time ago, so I'm gonna not feel 304 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:22,440 Speaker 1: too bad about it. Yeah, we do have some more 305 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 1: asparagus emails. Again, I love how many people wrote in 306 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 1: about asparagus. Yes, but it's also about English muffins and 307 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 1: some product confusion when it comes to breace. Yeah, Cecilia wrote, 308 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,400 Speaker 1: I'm American, but have traveled to Europe a lot, including 309 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 1: living in France in sixty six and in England four. 310 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 1: Especially in the sixties, but also in the eighties, things 311 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 1: in Europe were very different from similar types of things 312 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 1: in the US. This was especially true of baked goods. 313 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: You couldn't find an American muffin, brownie are cookie in 314 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: England or France. In those days. The English had cuppets 315 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 1: and muffins. The two are similar. Both are served toasted 316 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 1: with butter. The muffin in England is like an English muffin. 317 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: In America, they just don't call it English. So the 318 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 1: muffins would certainly have been selling English muffins for tea, 319 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 1: not the American kind. In more recent years, maybe since 320 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:19,400 Speaker 1: two thousand, I've been surprised and disappointed to find they 321 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: now sell American style muffins, cookies, and even brownies in England. 322 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,399 Speaker 1: Although I haven't seen them called that, I feel quite 323 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 1: sure that if they call something an American muffin in England, 324 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,880 Speaker 1: it must be like an American muffin that would distinguish 325 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:36,640 Speaker 1: it from their regular muffins. Thomas's English muffins in America 326 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 1: are very similar to muffins in England, so there would 327 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,920 Speaker 1: be no need to call them America. But I could 328 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 1: be wrong. Asparagus, I hope you get to Germany in 329 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 1: June some year to taste the white asparagus, but don't 330 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,880 Speaker 1: be surprised if you're disappointed. I find it bland compared 331 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: to our green asparagus. We went to Germany and June 332 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,680 Speaker 1: at two thousand two. We landed right in the middle 333 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 1: of asparagus season. At the first restaurant we went for dinner, 334 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: they asked if we wanted to see the asparagus menu. Well, 335 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 1: of course, I mean, I've never heard of such a thing, 336 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 1: but yeah, let's see it. Every item on that menu 337 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 1: had asparagus in it, so we had asparagus appetizers and 338 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 1: asparagus main courses. I don't think there was an asparagus dessert. 339 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:20,400 Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I was disappointed in the bland white asparagus. 340 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 1: The next night it was the same thing, And the 341 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 1: next every restaurant had an asparagus menu. We stopped asking 342 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,120 Speaker 1: to see it. So when this travel van is over, 343 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 1: you must go to Europe and sample the asparagus and 344 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,399 Speaker 1: let us all know what you think of it. And 345 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 1: try the muffins, scrumpets, scones, and biscuits. But give the 346 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,640 Speaker 1: American ruffins, cookies and brownies a pass. You can get 347 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 1: those here. Oh I love all that so much. I 348 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: love that. I'm still like I feel like I have 349 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 1: a clear picture, but the just saying it out loudest 350 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 1: confusing of the different the breads and oh my goodness. 351 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:59,160 Speaker 1: And you know, we've heard the praises of the white 352 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:04,120 Speaker 1: asparagus so much much. This is an interesting counterpoint. Yeah, 353 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,160 Speaker 1: and we're still determined to try it. I love asparagus menu. 354 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: I'm so into that, right, any kind of like, like, hey, 355 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 1: there's this local produce that's fresh right now, would you 356 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,160 Speaker 1: like to see an entire menu of stuff with that? Yes? Yes, 357 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,239 Speaker 1: the answer is yes, give it to me, thank you. 358 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 1: But I guess the only way to settle it is again, 359 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 1: we must go. We must have to go. Uh well 360 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 1: we uh. We also must pause here for a quick 361 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:34,920 Speaker 1: break for a word from our sponsor. But we will 362 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 1: be back shortly after that, and we're back. Thank you sponsored, Yes, 363 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,879 Speaker 1: thank you uh and we are back with some sour 364 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:59,919 Speaker 1: kraut related listener mail. Yes, Dave wrote, I live in Stuttgart, Germany, 365 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: and years ago my wife and I went to a 366 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 1: very informative outdoor museum about life in the muddy flat 367 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 1: coastal plain of northwestern Germany back in the day. It's 368 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: hard to believe how poor people were there. For instance, 369 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 1: lots of people lived in semi subterranean sod houses in 370 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 1: a region that's known for its cold, wet weather and 371 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 1: not infrequent flooding. And I'm talking like well into the 372 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 1: twentieth century here. Meal times in houses like this consisted 373 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 1: of the members of the family crowding around the single 374 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 1: pot of whatever, and everyone eating using each person's one utensil, 375 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:37,680 Speaker 1: a monogrammed wooden spoon. The sad part, if that wasn't 376 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,480 Speaker 1: sad enough for you, was that when a kid died, 377 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 1: the next kid born would be given a name starting 378 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,639 Speaker 1: with the same letter, so that they could inherit the 379 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:50,679 Speaker 1: spoon from their predecessor. To this day, a common German 380 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:54,680 Speaker 1: euphemism for dying is to give up the spoon. And 381 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: then he wrote the German phrase and said, if you're 382 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,119 Speaker 1: feeling brave, and I'm not feeling brave, so I'm not 383 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 1: going to dry it anyway. Anyway. The sauer Krap tie 384 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 1: in is that a lot of these people left the 385 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,920 Speaker 1: wretched lives in northern Germany and moved to North America. 386 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 1: These people were poor, in case they hadn't made that 387 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 1: clear yet, and often the most valuable possession they brought 388 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 1: with them was something very rare in northern Germany, a 389 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 1: large flat rock useful for weighing down cabbage in a barrel. 390 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: Imagine their amazement and ord disappointment when they got to 391 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: New England or Canada or any other places where you're 392 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 1: lucky to find anything other than rocks. On another note, 393 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: you mentioned in your Girl Scout Cookie episode that you 394 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: weren't sure where the name dosy Dos came from. I 395 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: have a theory. These are oat cookies, and there is 396 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 1: an old song called marsy dots. That goes marsy dotes 397 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:52,360 Speaker 1: and dozy dots and little Lamsy diving a Kidley divy too, 398 00:24:52,359 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 1: wouldn't you. Yeah? Sure, the dozy dots or does as 399 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 1: in a female deer eat oats a bit. Sounds a 400 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:09,360 Speaker 1: lot like docy does. Oh cookie does eat oats, Dozy 401 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 1: dotes do dozy does. Yah, It's it's watertight. That theory 402 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 1: is better than anything I had. I I'm on board. 403 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:29,439 Speaker 1: I I I think so yes, Oh I just I 404 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: just really butchered that, um that rhythm schematic. But but 405 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,440 Speaker 1: but I'm into it. Yeah. That that is the best, um, 406 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:42,199 Speaker 1: the best theory I have heard, and I'm willing to 407 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 1: stick with it until a better hypothesis is offered. Well, 408 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:53,400 Speaker 1: there you go. That's very big photocopidence, very the safer 409 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 1: stay up until something more water comes along. Yeah. There's 410 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,959 Speaker 1: something about the phrase, uh, dozy dots and little Lamsey 411 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,639 Speaker 1: divy passing your lips that just makes it seem yeah, 412 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 1: sure that's the Yeah, that's that's that must be what 413 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:12,680 Speaker 1: that is. It's true, it's true. I think I'm gonna 414 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 1: have that stuck in my head and it's gonna be 415 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: like again I watched too many horror movies. But I 416 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:22,640 Speaker 1: can just see like in the middle of Little Lamsy 417 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:30,440 Speaker 1: Divy what h Yeah, and I'm creeped up by deer. 418 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 1: So this is a double whammy. Oh, we have a 419 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 1: very specific set of fear, so never feel bad for 420 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 1: setting one off. Yeah, no, not at all, No way 421 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 1: to predict um. We do have a couple of in 422 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 1: our broad category of random messages. Jen wrote, Hi, larding Annie, 423 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 1: this is this German American Western Pennsylvania boy was still 424 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 1: did they hear you mentioned the New Year's poor con 425 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,439 Speaker 1: sarakrat tradition, which my family has practiced for generations with 426 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 1: homemade zaracrat. Of course, even more amusing it was the 427 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 1: listener mail shout out to Altuna, where I spent the 428 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 1: first two years of my college career. On the peanut 429 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 1: butter mole question, I make moley pablano from scratch, and 430 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 1: most recipes call for almond butter and or tahini. Those 431 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:22,920 Speaker 1: things used to be pretty hard to find in American 432 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 1: grocery stores, so maybe the writer's ancestors substituted peanut butter. 433 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 1: Peanut butter is often a substitute ingredient for sesame, paste 434 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 1: in Chechuan recipes such as don don neodles. Again another 435 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 1: theory that I'm on board with. Yeah, h Adam wrote 436 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: on the subject of National Food Holidays, I created an 437 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 1: app that will help you track the foods you love 438 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,120 Speaker 1: on their celebrated days. Swipe through the calendar to find 439 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 1: out what's going on this week. A search for a 440 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 1: day like National Burrito Day, which is April five, or 441 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 1: find out what's happening on your birthday. Take a photo 442 00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,959 Speaker 1: and share it with the community of like minded foodie 443 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 1: fans on social media. Look for the hashtag on Facebook 444 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 1: and Instagram National Food Holidays app. Well, now I'm curious 445 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:12,160 Speaker 1: what my birthday is. Oh yeah, I'm I'm not sure. 446 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 1: I feel like this could be very risky for someone 447 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 1: like me who was any time I have an excuse 448 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:21,680 Speaker 1: to eat something, I will, So my many would probably 449 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:25,679 Speaker 1: be all over the place, but it would be a 450 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:29,120 Speaker 1: fun adventure. It would be somebody should try to live 451 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 1: a year that way. Oh my gosh. There'd be multiple 452 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 1: options every day, though, So if you were like, wow, 453 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 1: I don't want this thing, there should be a couple 454 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 1: of other things. Hypothetically, Yes, hypothetically, Well, if anyone tries it, 455 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 1: let us know, uh, and then we have some a 456 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 1: fruit salad. Note from Salvador. I started listening to the 457 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 1: Ambrose Just Sad episode, and that is a dish name 458 00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 1: I had never heard before. But as the description started, 459 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 1: it came clear that you were describing something very familiar 460 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 1: to me, the cream dessert, not the fruity soup. Sorry, Annie. 461 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 1: I am from northern Mexico and in my family, Christmas 462 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 1: dinner will always have turkey and or pork like spaghetti, 463 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 1: mashed potatoes, gravy, and insulada de manzana, also a piate too, 464 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 1: but those are just the cherry on top. The insulata 465 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 1: is made with diced apples, celery whipping cream not necessarily 466 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 1: whipped with sugar, pecans and marshmallows. Sometimes canned peaches or 467 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 1: pineapples are also included. You end up with a creamy 468 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 1: sweet based with crunchy pecans and apples and the occasional 469 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 1: acidity of the apples and pineapples. It has become so 470 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 1: popular that my sister, who has become the official enslada 471 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 1: de manzana maker, has been increasing the amount she makes 472 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 1: each year, but there is never any left over on 473 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 1: silada the next day. In my Vice family, they make 474 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 1: a similar dish, but their version has mainly canned peaches 475 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 1: and pineapple and shredded carrots for the crunch. Marshmallos, pecons 476 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: and cream are also there. It's delicious too, but I 477 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 1: have come to love the Christmas uns a lot of demandzana, 478 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 1: even making some for myself out of season. It was 479 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 1: strange to hear the ambrosia uses citrus as its main ingredient. 480 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 1: Maybe that changed to apples and peaches in Mexico was 481 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 1: due to the warmer climate making it last less if 482 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 1: oranges were used. I don't know if us a lot 483 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 1: of demonzana is popular throughout Mexico or in other Latin 484 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 1: American countries, but it is a staple in my family. 485 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 1: I I would I would love to hear because for 486 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 1: listeners who've heard that episode, that was one of the 487 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 1: funniest ones to me where I left literally still unsure 488 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,719 Speaker 1: of what it was other than that's like fruit is 489 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 1: typically typically but not all it's sweet. Yeah, yeah, but 490 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 1: honestly it endeared endeared itself to me that I could 491 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 1: say it and it could mean anything to any number 492 00:30:55,280 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 1: of people. Yeah, And I love hearing what other families 493 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 1: have done when they make ambrosia or fruit salad. So 494 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 1: this sounds amazing to me. I know, I I came 495 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 1: out pretty hard swinging against the cream versions, right, Yeah, 496 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 1: I'm willing to try some things and not be so 497 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 1: curmudgedly about my family. Well, I mean, you know, if 498 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 1: if you just don't call it ambrosias that, like, are 499 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,720 Speaker 1: you more comfortable trying like a like ansalata de manzana 500 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 1: If I feel like maybe I'm a very prideful person 501 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 1: because that just means apple salad, and so it's you know, 502 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 1: it's labeled as something different. Okay, Yeah, I feel I 503 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,960 Speaker 1: feel more comfortable with that. I'm not proud of it 504 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 1: because it is my pride, but I can admit the truth. Um. Yeah. 505 00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:03,240 Speaker 1: The yep Ash wrote, Although I'm a longtime listener who 506 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 1: has spent countless hours listening to you talk about various foods, 507 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 1: I've never written in However, after listening to your recent 508 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 1: peach episode, I just had to share. When I think 509 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 1: about peaches, two things come to mind. First, peaches remind 510 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 1: me of happy family times from my childhood when I 511 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 1: was little think infancy through early teens. Each Sunday, my family, parents, sister, aunt's, 512 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,720 Speaker 1: uncle's cousins, the entire bunch would gather at Grandma's house 513 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,520 Speaker 1: for Sunday lunch, or as we called it, Sunday dinner. 514 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 1: The menu would vary from week to week, always involving 515 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,240 Speaker 1: classic Southern dishes, but during the summer at the dessert 516 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 1: to top it all off would usually be a cobbler 517 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 1: with fresh fruits, usually blueberries or my personal favorite, peaches. 518 00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 1: It's a very simple recipe, containing just flour, sugar, milk, butter, 519 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 1: and fruit, but the result is nothing short of delicious. 520 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:54,240 Speaker 1: The soft, buttery, golden topping above combined with the smooth 521 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 1: sweetness of the peach below was satisfying enough, but we 522 00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 1: like to take it one step further by adding a 523 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 1: scoop of vanilla ice cream to the top of each slice. 524 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 1: So simple, so decadent, so good. That's the first thing 525 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:07,800 Speaker 1: I think about when I hear the word or see 526 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 1: a peach, real peaches, not the emoji, and as you 527 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:14,360 Speaker 1: can imagine, it's a pretty good feeling. The second thing 528 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,280 Speaker 1: I think about is, as Lauren pointed out at the 529 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 1: beginning of the episode Peaches and Plums, Allah, the magician's 530 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 1: TV show. I'm very used to and always delight in 531 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 1: your nerdy references, but let me tell you, I did 532 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 1: not see that one coming. My favorite podcast mentioning a 533 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:30,680 Speaker 1: niche TV show that I just so happened to have 534 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 1: very strong feelings about. My mind was a bit blown 535 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:37,600 Speaker 1: by the crossover. Recently, I've been listening to your podcast 536 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 1: during my daily COVID walks, and this episode was no exception. 537 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,920 Speaker 1: When Lauren mentioned peaches and plums, I literally stopped walking, 538 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,360 Speaker 1: My hand flew to my chest in surprise, and I 539 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 1: froze for a couple of seconds to get my bearings. 540 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:50,840 Speaker 1: Did she just say what I think she said? I 541 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:54,360 Speaker 1: wondered to myself in disbelief. This may sound dramatic, and 542 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:57,720 Speaker 1: it is. I'll own that. I don't want to give 543 00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:01,040 Speaker 1: away too many spoilers since Annie hasn't seen it, but 544 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 1: anyone who is familiar with the show will understand the 545 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:07,240 Speaker 1: maelstrom of emotion that line of folks and fans. You 546 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:10,040 Speaker 1: talked about the symbolic meaning of the peach in the episode, 547 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:13,200 Speaker 1: but peaches take on an entirely new symbolism in the 548 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:17,799 Speaker 1: show that is not I warn happy. The remainder of 549 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,400 Speaker 1: which I say is absolutely worthy of that authentic pearl 550 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:24,080 Speaker 1: clutch moment I had while listening. Luckily, I was able 551 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 1: to process all these emotions and finish out the episode. 552 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:36,400 Speaker 1: I'm really intrigued. I've been thinking about this since Ashley 553 00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:39,160 Speaker 1: sent coming up with all these scenarios for a show. 554 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:42,400 Speaker 1: I literally have no idea what it's about. I'm assuming 555 00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:50,240 Speaker 1: magic is involved, but usually usually magic is involved. UM 556 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:51,880 Speaker 1: and I and I think I think I said this 557 00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:56,319 Speaker 1: to you off air, but um, but but any um 558 00:34:56,440 --> 00:35:01,319 Speaker 1: is a Supernatural fan um and uh. Supernatural and the 559 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:06,320 Speaker 1: Magicians share one of their executive producers in common, Sarah Gamble, 560 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:10,279 Speaker 1: who also wrote a number of episodes and Supernatural. I 561 00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:13,120 Speaker 1: know this because I'm going through that series um right 562 00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:16,640 Speaker 1: now and uh. And as I'm going through Supernatural, I'm 563 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:22,000 Speaker 1: there's so many um actors and uh and just little 564 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:29,360 Speaker 1: tidbits of some similarity between these two shows. And dude, 565 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:33,120 Speaker 1: you're gonna love it. Okay, I think you're really going 566 00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:35,759 Speaker 1: to nerd out about just all the weird little connections, 567 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:39,600 Speaker 1: so you have to watch it. Okay, No, I'm meant 568 00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,719 Speaker 1: to it. I have spent way too much, an embarrassing 569 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:45,120 Speaker 1: amount of time trying to be like, what could it 570 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:51,239 Speaker 1: be peaches and actual peaches and plums? Does it mean 571 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:54,800 Speaker 1: something else in that world? I have been thinking about 572 00:35:54,800 --> 00:36:00,120 Speaker 1: it so and I'm very very happy that I of 573 00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:05,200 Speaker 1: when our random nerd references really connects with with listening, 574 00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:07,960 Speaker 1: even if it's just one listener. I love it because 575 00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:15,879 Speaker 1: we were clearly nerds, and it's nice to know that 576 00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:21,919 Speaker 1: at least someone it's like appreciating are very references. Yes, 577 00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:24,960 Speaker 1: not everyone is just going what are they talking about? 578 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:30,840 Speaker 1: Why aren't they talking about food? It's usually food related, 579 00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 1: not always, but usually on that dramatic note, have some 580 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:43,160 Speaker 1: more for you, but first we have one more cup 581 00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:54,160 Speaker 1: break for a word from our sponsor, and we're back. 582 00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:57,560 Speaker 1: Thank you sponsor, Yes, thank you, And we're back with 583 00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:02,040 Speaker 1: some cheese. Note some cheese is note. So my grammar 584 00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:06,719 Speaker 1: is so great and well today, um I did so 585 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:09,399 Speaker 1: this one specifically about Rock four, and I did get 586 00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,880 Speaker 1: to try it after we did the episode, and I 587 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:17,600 Speaker 1: loved it. I really great texture, very salty, big fan. 588 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,600 Speaker 1: So I'm glad. Yes, I probably will get some more. 589 00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,600 Speaker 1: I'm I'm making my epic venture, my once a three 590 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:26,839 Speaker 1: week venture out to the grocery store tomorrow I might 591 00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:31,239 Speaker 1: get some more. Joe wrote, I'm a longtime listener of yours, 592 00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:33,600 Speaker 1: and just finish your episode on Rock For. It took 593 00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:35,680 Speaker 1: me back to when I studied abroad an Avignon in 594 00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:37,840 Speaker 1: the south of France during the summer of my sophomore 595 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,279 Speaker 1: year in college. My host family was so warm and 596 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,080 Speaker 1: delightful and eager to share everything about French language and culture, 597 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:46,239 Speaker 1: especially the food. Since host families were required to feed 598 00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:49,239 Speaker 1: as breakfast and dinner. I experienced so many first with 599 00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,880 Speaker 1: my host family, from the beauty of a homemade vinaigrette 600 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:56,160 Speaker 1: too homemade apple, oh to vie moonshine basically to lambstaks 601 00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:59,520 Speaker 1: best eaten with good grainy mustard. I'll never forget having 602 00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:03,080 Speaker 1: four for the first time, and my host mother's sharp 603 00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,640 Speaker 1: intake of breath and look of horror as I smeared 604 00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:07,920 Speaker 1: it all my bread like it was a patte le 605 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:11,360 Speaker 1: us and learned keeping slices. When it came to cheese 606 00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:13,759 Speaker 1: that we agreed to start mild and start going up 607 00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,560 Speaker 1: the scale. When we finally got to rock For, my 608 00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:19,440 Speaker 1: host mother instructed me to butter my bagget and then 609 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,120 Speaker 1: place a thin layer of the cheese on top of it. 610 00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,520 Speaker 1: They watched with anticipation as I ate it and laughed 611 00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:31,360 Speaker 1: uproariously when I managed to choke out four. It's very strong, Alas. 612 00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,799 Speaker 1: I am more of a breed cam embar stinky, saft 613 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,040 Speaker 1: frin cheese kind of a girl. But it's definitely a 614 00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,359 Speaker 1: moment I cherish. So thank you for taking me down 615 00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:43,680 Speaker 1: memory lane. Oh that's delightful.

I'll try to do better for all 621 00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:12,360 Speaker 1: the four grow that I'm eating right now for Christian wrote, 622 00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:17,120 Speaker 1: greetings from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I have been a longtime listener, 623 00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,680 Speaker 1: and boy howdy was I excited when you both started 624 00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:23,280 Speaker 1: talking about Edmonton in your latest podcast. Green onion cakes 625 00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,160 Speaker 1: are indeed ubiquitous up here and come in many shapes 626 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:29,680 Speaker 1: and sizes from a deep fried doughnut style that are puffy, 627 00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,360 Speaker 1: flakey and served with a sweet tied chili sauce. To 628 00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,399 Speaker 1: a more flat bread pan fried style served with black 629 00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:39,600 Speaker 1: vinegar and Asian chili sauce. All are delicious. I actually 630 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:41,600 Speaker 1: was part of a one time cooking class with Mr 631 00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:45,200 Speaker 1: Suto where he taught us most of his secrets. He's 632 00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,680 Speaker 1: very charismatic and incredibly passionate about green onion cakes, which 633 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,040 Speaker 1: is what I believe has even led him to come 634 00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:54,279 Speaker 1: out of retirement to open up his newest venture, Green 635 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,520 Speaker 1: Onion Cake Man, where you can forego the making and 636 00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,319 Speaker 1: go straight to the eating. Happy Garden is our go 637 00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:03,120 Speaker 1: to Chinese restaurant until they closed for retirements, So when 638 00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,319 Speaker 1: I found out he was the owner, I spent a 639 00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,280 Speaker 1: majority of the class trying to tease his Sechuan beef 640 00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,839 Speaker 1: recipe out of him, also known around these parts as 641 00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:14,320 Speaker 1: ginger beef. It was, in my opinion, the best in Edmonton, 642 00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:16,920 Speaker 1: and dare I say, even as good as the Silver 643 00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,759 Speaker 1: In Restaurant in Calgary, a three hour drive south of us, 644 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:23,000 Speaker 1: the very place that invented ginger beef. I have also 645 00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:26,799 Speaker 1: been there, and it's hecking delicious. But I digress, and 646 00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:30,520 Speaker 1: as Alton Brown says, that's another show. And then there's 647 00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:32,680 Speaker 1: a wink wink to tell us that that should be 648 00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:38,200 Speaker 1: another show. I oh, yes, I am so curious now 649 00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:42,040 Speaker 1: about the origin of ginger beef. I am so easy 650 00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:43,759 Speaker 1: to sell on these things, both Lauren and I are. 651 00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:47,160 Speaker 1: You don't have to try, you can know.
