And uh yeah, 9 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,239 Speaker 1: so we did an episode on butter beer way back 10 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: in and I feel like it was decades and decades ago, 11 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,200 Speaker 1: but uh yeah, we we We We did this butter beer 12 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:47,560 Speaker 1: episode because there is a historical beverage that was buttered beer, 13 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: So we get to go into that and then also 14 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: go into some of the fun ways in which foods 15 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 1: and drinks from the Harry Potter universe have made the 16 00:00:56,040 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: transfer into reality. Delicious delicious reality. And I will say 17 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: that the Harry Potter universe is a particularly interesting fictional 18 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 1: world to to look at the food and drink in 19 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: because they talk about it a lot. Potter more indexed 20 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: all of the mentions of food in the original series 21 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: and found that Goblet of Fire is the foodiest book 22 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 1: with three hundred and sixty mentions of food, but there 23 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,400 Speaker 1: are a total of one thousand, six hundred and fifty 24 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 1: one mentions throughout the series, with an average of two 25 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty six per book. Um, so yes, I'm 26 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: going to let past Annie and Lauren take it away, 27 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 1: and then at the end I'm going to have a 28 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: couple of updates for you. So yes, hello and welcome 29 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: to Food Stuff. I'm Lauren Vogelbon and I'm an Aries 30 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: and today today we're testing out a new segment. Yeah, 31 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: we're calling it fictional food Are in this case fictional 32 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: drinks because we're going to be talking about butter beer 33 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: and I guess in this case it's a semi fictional drink. 34 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 1: I know. That's one of the most interesting things about 35 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: this one. It's hopped from the page to your mouth. 36 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 1: It's made the transition from fiction to reality. It's like 37 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 1: who framed Roger Rabbit? But at beverage? Yeah? Or I 38 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: I said Pinocchio, Like I'm a real drink now. Yes, 39 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: for those of you who don't know, I know butter 40 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: beer is a drink from the Harry Potter series. There 41 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 1: actually isn't much description as the taste in the books themselves, 42 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: but when asked about the taste, author J. K. Rowling 43 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 1: told Bona Patti magazine in two thousand two, I made 44 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: it up. I imagine it to taste a little bit 45 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: like less sickly butter scotch. It first appeared in the 46 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 1: third book in the series, Harry Potter and the Prisoner 47 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: of Azkaban. After Harry tries it for the first time 48 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: at the Three Broomsticks, describes it as the most delicious 49 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:07,119 Speaker 1: thing he'd ever tasted, and seemed to heat every bit 50 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:13,119 Speaker 1: of him from the inside. That's a very uh, that's 51 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 1: a lot to live up to. Yeah, no wonder people 52 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: are so obsessed with it, I know, and it pops 53 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,239 Speaker 1: up in every book after that. It can be served 54 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: in hot hot in mugs, are cold in bottles. They 55 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: cost two sickles, which of course we all know to 56 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: be about sixty pence. I think Mr Weasley doesn't know 57 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: about that. I think he'd have. I think it had 58 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: trouble with the conversion rate, that's true. It's a little 59 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: bit less than than an American dollar, by the way. Yes, 60 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: and they were available for purchase at pubs like the 61 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: Three Roomsticks or the Hogshead. The book implies you can't 62 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: get them at Hogwarts, which I find very interesting apart 63 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: from special occasions like the Yule Ball. Dean and Shamus 64 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: discussed buying some on the black market post exams, and 65 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: of course you could probably always count on the Lee 66 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: Twins took you up, of course. Yeah. And one of 67 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: the interesting things about butter beer and maybe why it 68 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: wasn't available at Hogwarts, was this kind of debate around 69 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: whether or not there's an alcohol in it. Yeah, because 70 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 1: it's got the name beer in the name, but no 71 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: one ever says anything about whether it's alcoholic. No, and 72 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 1: the consensus seems to be that it's maybe mildly alcoholic. 73 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 1: It's like enough to get a house elf like Winky 74 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: drunk if she uh for those of you that don't know, 75 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: she got very drunk a lot in the Goblet of 76 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,919 Speaker 1: Fire on butter beer, or like a lightweight like her money. 77 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: That's supposedly the joke that she had a butter beer 78 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: and got and got tipsy. Yeah. In the sixth book 79 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 1: Half Flood, Prince Harry wonders what Ron and her money 80 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 1: might do quote under the influence of butter beer. Yeah, 81 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,359 Speaker 1: and in the sixth movie, im A Watson, the actress 82 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: who played her money certainly acted tipsy after having a 83 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: better beer. I remember that being a bigger deal than 84 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: I thought it should have been. But anyway, I've always 85 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: thought it was more of a happy feeling that it 86 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 1: gave you, as opposed to being like alcohol like drunk, 87 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 1: just like like magical, like a yeah, like it's just 88 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 1: making you happy, sort of like Felix Flicious, which is 89 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: the like potion um, and that the chemistry of a 90 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: house self reacted differently to it. Perhaps I said too much. 91 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 1: I'm a really big Harry Potter fan. If people haven't 92 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: surmised that already, I think you are wearing Hufflepuff colors 93 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:43,039 Speaker 1: right now. But I'm in Griffin door. I'm I'm a Hufflepuff. Oh. 94 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: I love Hufflepuff though. Oh it's a great it's a 95 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: great one to be. I'm not ashamed of it. Hufflepuff pride, y'all, 96 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 1: badge of honor. It's a pun, but I won't. Oh goodness. 97 00:05:55,440 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 1: So that's kind of a brief outline of It's it's life. 98 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 1: It's fictional fiction, but but it's actually it could be argued, 99 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: I'm not sure whether Rowling had this idea or not, 100 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: but um, but there is a history of buttered beer 101 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:16,280 Speaker 1: concoctions in England, and we'll start talking about that right 102 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: after a quick break for a word from our sponsor, 103 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: and we're back, Thank you sponsor. So so, yes, there 104 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: is something of a historical basis for butter beer, or 105 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: at least for a lightly alcoholic beer based beverage that 106 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: is creamy and spiced. And we start this conversation with 107 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,279 Speaker 1: a medieval English drink called caudle ce a U d 108 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 1: l e. This was a drink served warm, made with 109 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: wine or beer that was gently boiled, thickened with egg 110 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: or cream or oatmeal, sweetened with honey or sugar, and 111 00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: seasoned with stuff like a like nutmeg, clothes and a saffron, allspice, cinnamon, 112 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: mace and or ginger. And it goes all the way 113 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: back to the twelve or th hundreds and was popular 114 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: up to the sixteen hundreds, as I kind of get 115 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: better brew um. It was served to folks who were bedridden, 116 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: sick in childbirth, or kind of old. One one of 117 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: the recipes is like give this to your old dude, 118 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: just your old dude that you've got hidden in the closet. Yep. 119 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: I think it was like an old man, but the 120 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: complication anyway. It was also recommended as a sleepy time drink, 121 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: and Caudle is where we get the term caudle, as 122 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: in to treat gently c O D d L. E 123 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: Atmologists think that by the sixteen hundreds, caudle that the 124 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: drink had taken on an expanded meaning of gently boiling 125 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: any kind of stuff, or the word c a U 126 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: d l had taken on this expanded meaning um. And 127 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: in eighteen fifteen Jane Austen used it in the in 128 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: the modern sense to coddle, to to treat gently in 129 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: the book Emma, which was the first time that had 130 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: appeared as such in print. Yeah, you never know where 131 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: an episode will take here, I tell you, I know, Yeah, 132 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: Jane Austen is not what I thought I would be 133 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: talking about here. There was even specific drink wear for 134 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: your caudle called caddle cups. Caddle cups These looked like 135 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: teacups but usually had two handles, you know, the better 136 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 1: for the infirm to grip it with, and often came 137 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: with lids. Um. Classy folks had these highly decorated like 138 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: painted gilded versions in their tea sets. Of course they did. 139 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: The caudle was poeticized by Shakespeare in Henry the Sixth, 140 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: Part two, in which the rebel Jack Cade threatens to 141 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: hang the Lord High Treasurer. The Lord High Treasurer has 142 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: just said that he's sick and tired of considering the poor, 143 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 1: and Cade says, you shall have a hemp and coddle then, 144 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: and the help of hatchet zing. Oh Shakespeare, I love 145 00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 1: you anyway. By the late fifteen hundreds, pottle was sometimes 146 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: called buttered beer due to its butter content. There's a 147 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: recipe in The Good Housewife's Handmade for the Kitchen, from 148 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: which was written by a dude by the way, um 149 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: and the recipe. The recipe goes like this, and I'm 150 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: not going to do the voice, but but imagine that 151 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: I'm doing this in a very silly old English voice. 152 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: I think we can do that. Yeah, okay, all right. 153 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 1: Take three pints of beer, put five yolks of eggs 154 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: to it, strained them together, and set it in a 155 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: pewter pot to the fire, and put it to half 156 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,439 Speaker 1: a pound of sugar one pennyworth of netmegs beaten, one 157 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 1: pennyworth of cloves beaten, and a half a pennyworth of 158 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 1: ginger beaten. And when it is all in, take another 159 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,719 Speaker 1: pewter pot and brew them together and set it to 160 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: the fire again. And when it is ready to boil, 161 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: take it from the fire and put a dish of 162 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: sweet butter into it and brew them together out of 163 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: one pot into the other. M hm, so slight tangent 164 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: halfpenny So that is that, like a that's how much 165 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: you would spend on it, That's what I'm guessing. That's 166 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: the measurement of which seems really inconvenient for translating recipes 167 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 1: for later. But but I guess you could kind of 168 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: guess how much that would be, right, like like this 169 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: seems like enough nutmeg plump. The end result of this 170 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: beer and egg and spicy stuff, and especially the slashing 171 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 1: it back and forth between different pots, the end result 172 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: is is a foamy and warm and probably tasted like 173 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: like pie spice. Basically, um, it's sort of the boozy 174 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 1: pumpkin latte version of bulletproof coffee. If you can imagine that, 175 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: I think I can sure. And and this is essentially 176 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: the recipe that's persisted through the ages. Its surged popularity 177 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: again in Victorian times, and is generally related to the posset, 178 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: which is a warm milk and beer and or wine 179 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 1: beverage um. Although possets were more for for general consumption 180 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: or winter holiday consumption, I think that this caudle was 181 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: was really really was seen as a curative. So that 182 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:05,680 Speaker 1: is possibly where J. K. Rolling got the idea or 183 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 1: inspiration or better beer perhaps perhaps, but either way it 184 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: did make the leap into our world, the real world. 185 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,079 Speaker 1: And we'll talk more about that after a quick breaker 186 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: from our sponsor and we're back. Thank you sponsor. So 187 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 1: as we said at the top, this is one thing 188 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: that makes butter beer as a fictional food very interesting. 189 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,559 Speaker 1: It's both fictional and real. Now, I don't think about 190 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: it too hard. First of most, obviously you can buy 191 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,319 Speaker 1: butter beer at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter Studios. 192 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 1: They have locations in Orlando, Los Angeles, and Tokyo, and 193 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: at the Harry Potter Studio tour just outside of London. 194 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: I will say I've been to all of those, but 195 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: Tokyo and going to fix that this year. Oh my goodness, 196 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: I haven't been to any of them. I'm so far behind. 197 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: So Universal chefs, including Universal's corporate executive chef Steve Jason, 198 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:17,560 Speaker 1: embarked on the monumental task of bringing this quote most 199 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 1: delicious drink to life. I mean, I'd be very intimidated. 200 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 1: In the summer of two eight, they visited j K 201 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: rolling in places that inspired Harry Potter. They asked your 202 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 1: questions about what it tasted like. To me, that sounds 203 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: like an awesome trip From this, they determined that the 204 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:40,319 Speaker 1: drink should taste smooth, with the main flavors being similar 205 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:44,439 Speaker 1: to that of shortbread and butter scotch. Yeah. They wanted 206 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 1: it to resemble beer but not be alcoholic for perhaps 207 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 1: obvious reasons. Yeah, mostly kids. Children are sometimes fans of 208 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 1: the Harry Potter series, in addition to children at heart 209 00:12:56,080 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: like us. That's very kind. Thank you, we all, thank you, Laura. 210 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: It also had to not contain any allergens and or 211 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 1: dairy so that those who had any allergies or were 212 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: lactose intolerant could enjoy it. Basically, they wanted it to 213 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 1: be available to everyone, and this means that there's no 214 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: butter or beer and butter beer. Yeah. They also wanted 215 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 1: it to have less calories than a twelve ounce can 216 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: of soda, and J. K. Rowling insisted it be made 217 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: with real sugar because she thought that high fruit too 218 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: corn syrup, rightfully or not, was going to become the 219 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 1: next ingredient people went out of their way to avoid. 220 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: Very savvy. Yeah, pretty pretty much and just f y. 221 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 1: I of fourteen ounce serving of butter beer has two 222 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 1: hundred calories and twenty nine grams of sugar, which which 223 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: is a little bit lower. I would have guessed way 224 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: more than a can of coke. Yeah. Yeah, does it 225 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 1: taste much sweeter than that? It? He's very sweet. It 226 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 1: is delicious. I have a recipe. I'm going to make 227 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 1: it so that Lauren can try. Oh awesome. Yes. With 228 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: all of this in mind, Jason and his team experimented 229 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: for three months, coming up with something like sixteen recipes. 230 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: The higher ups at Universal tentatively approved one of them, 231 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: and then came the real test. They had to go 232 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 1: get the approval of the author I know. Oh no, 233 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: so oh that's a less fun trip. So the team 234 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 1: packed up the ingredients and hopped on a flight to 235 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: Edinburgh and funny aside, according to head of Universal Creative 236 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 1: Mark Woodbury. Getting through the Department of Homeland Security was 237 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: a bit of a challenge. Yeah, I can see that. 238 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 1: The crew rented a kitchen space from an Edinburgh hotel. 239 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: They whipped up the five recipes, including the executive approved one, 240 00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: and they had their fingers crossed that j. K. Rowling 241 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: woul go for it. But then they let her sample them. 242 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: I would have been so terrified. She tried each one, 243 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: and when she arrived to the one they wanted her 244 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: to pick, she smiled and said, yes, Chef, that's it. 245 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 1: Sweet relief. Oh, I had to sweet relief. The recipe 246 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: is the culinary version of classified. They make it on 247 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 1: site and only those that need to know how to 248 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: make it know how to make it. Chef Jason has 249 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 1: said universal quote implanted special security procedures in order to 250 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 1: protect the recipe. Implanted implanted this kind of like collecting 251 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 1: him or like who knows how deep this goes. Of course, 252 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: folks have tried to smuggle a butt of beer out 253 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: of the park to figure out what's in it, but 254 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 1: to their surprise, the drink loses um. It has this 255 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 1: really smooth insistency as two parts. The foam topping and 256 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: the body, and when people take it out of the park, 257 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 1: they'd find that it blend together in thirty minutes and 258 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 1: it would become a much less palatable drink, almost like 259 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 1: magic when they pour it. Even there's two steps to 260 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: pouring it. You pour the liquid body and then there's 261 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: another like spout for the phone topping. And not allowed 262 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: to order it without the foam because they claim it's 263 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: part of the experience and trademarked. Oh yeah, And this 264 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 1: has led to at least one petition created by someone 265 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 1: worried about cross contamination when it comes to the topping, 266 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: because they guarantee there's no lacto or any kind of 267 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 1: allergen in there, but people are worried that maybe there's 268 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 1: kind of like when a label has to say it's 269 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: made in it in a factory that manufactures peanuts, something 270 00:16:56,120 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: like that. But to the state, they have not released 271 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:05,639 Speaker 1: lifting any hint of the recipe or lifted. Yeah, you 272 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 1: have to get the topping, and the topping is generally 273 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: everyone's favorite part. Throw that out there. Yes, you can 274 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 1: order the drink hot cold, frozen in ice cream form, 275 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,919 Speaker 1: fudge form, and potted cream form. I'm partial to the 276 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:28,639 Speaker 1: frozen one. But the ice cream is amazing. It's hugely popular. 277 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,639 Speaker 1: It's equally as popular as they are in the books. 278 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,159 Speaker 1: You might say, yeah, when the data, the data on 279 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: this really blew my mind. It's insane. When the park 280 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 1: first opened in June two, chef Jason said, we found 281 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,640 Speaker 1: out very very quickly when we opened that butter beer 282 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: was definitely an overnight home run. Less than a year later, 283 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 1: in January two eleven, Islands of Adventure, where the Harry 284 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 1: Potter theme park was located, celebrated selling its millions of 285 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:05,920 Speaker 1: butter beer less than a year, and by December that 286 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:10,880 Speaker 1: number was five million. Oh my goodness. Yeah. They By 287 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: the way, when they hit these benchmarks, they throw these 288 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 1: really big parties and they give away free butter beer. 289 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,160 Speaker 1: At least I think it's free. I don't know. Anyway, 290 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 1: there's butter beer, a lot of butter beer drinking, to 291 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:25,159 Speaker 1: be um, and I couldn't find any specific numbers, but 292 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 1: according to industry pros, theme parks probably make around thirty 293 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 1: percent of their profits from concessions. Huffington Post wrote that 294 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 1: they sell tens of thousands of mugs of butter beer 295 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 1: a day. You can also get it in these souvenir 296 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 1: mugs cute and on opening day, thirty eight thousand people 297 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,639 Speaker 1: waited in line to get into the park and the 298 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,440 Speaker 1: people at the part couldn't keep up with butter beer demands, 299 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 1: so they rolled out It comes from these huge barrels. 300 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,359 Speaker 1: They rolled it out into the main street and sold 301 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 1: it for cash only. Folks waited up to six hours. 302 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,360 Speaker 1: Goodness for a butter beer. They still thousands of them 303 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 1: that way in the first day. Huh yeah. And according 304 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 1: to surveys conducted at the resort, it has the highest 305 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:18,640 Speaker 1: quote guest satisfier rating. It's number one thing people want 306 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 1: to do when visiting the park order a butter beer. 307 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:25,400 Speaker 1: Oh man. And on a personal note, the first time 308 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,440 Speaker 1: I visited, the lines for butter beer were about as 309 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:32,160 Speaker 1: long as the ones for the attractions. It. Wow. Yeah. 310 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: I was like, what's happening, what's going on? Yeah? What 311 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:38,880 Speaker 1: are they waiting for butter beer? Yeah? Wow? See that's 312 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:40,880 Speaker 1: It's the thing that I've thought like because I haven't 313 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: I haven't been to the park, and I was like, well, 314 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 1: if I go to the park, like, am I going 315 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 1: to get one? I don't really like sugary drinks, so like, 316 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,439 Speaker 1: is it worth it if to like spend like I mean, 317 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: I'm sure it's not twenty dollars like however much money. 318 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 1: I'm sure they're expensive. Everything in those parks are a 319 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 1: little bit. Yeah, like is it worth? Is a sooda 320 00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:01,880 Speaker 1: worth seven dollars? Yes? Just at least once. At least 321 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 1: once um, and then you can make your own. But 322 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 1: they've been very smart marketing it because they protected it 323 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 1: so well, and then you can get it in all 324 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: these different ways. So you're like, well, I got to 325 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,119 Speaker 1: try the hot one, I've got to try the frisen one, 326 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 1: I got to try all I have to have the 327 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 1: souvenir mug. Yeah, and I don't generally like sweet drinks either. 328 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: Lauren and I were discussing this before, but something about 329 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:28,399 Speaker 1: it is is kind of refreshing. It's almost like, I 330 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:32,120 Speaker 1: don't know, like that first sip of coke has that. Yeah, 331 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 1: it's almost like that. I don't know. It's very good, 332 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 1: and I would recommend trying it at least once. The 333 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 1: price is high, but one time, but the rewards are 334 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,719 Speaker 1: worth worth it. Yeah. Butter beer, of course, is not 335 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 1: to the only food from the Harry Potter universe to 336 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:51,679 Speaker 1: have undergone this magical transition into reality. Nope, from it. 337 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,360 Speaker 1: Yeah no, no, no no, You've got You've got chocolate frogs, 338 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 1: cauldron cakes, fever fudge, chocolate wands, peppermint mice. Uh. They 339 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,879 Speaker 1: don't move in the real world that I'm personally aware of. 340 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 1: And of course the notorious Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans 341 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 1: oh yeah, which I've had a few experiences with. I 342 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: have as well. It's kind of like playing Russian Roulette 343 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:18,399 Speaker 1: with beans. There's there's a there's a game that Bertie 344 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 1: Botts has that that's it's it's not like a full 345 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 1: board game, but but they have these boxes of beans 346 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 1: that that come and come in pairs, and within each 347 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 1: pair there's one like normal flavor and one terrifying flavor. 348 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 1: But they look identical. Oh my gosh. So it's like 349 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,120 Speaker 1: coconut or spoiled milk. You don't know until you put 350 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,360 Speaker 1: it in your mouth. And it's the idea you play 351 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: with a friend and like to see who gets the 352 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 1: bad one. I mean that Ben Ben Bolen of car 353 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:51,639 Speaker 1: stuff and stuff they don't want you to know. And 354 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:55,880 Speaker 1: I have a live Facebook live snack related show, which 355 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 1: basically is our excuse to eat on camera when I'm 356 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 1: not doing food stuff very weird things. But of all 357 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,639 Speaker 1: the very strange things that I've consumed on that show, 358 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: like a number of different preparations of insects, um canned 359 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:11,399 Speaker 1: meat from around the world. There were some durryan pastries. 360 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 1: Of all of that stuff, the spoiled milk Bertie Bots, 361 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 1: every flavor being was the only thing that ever made 362 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 1: me gag. Really, yeah, that's amazing. Yeah, I like spit 363 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:26,400 Speaker 1: it out immediately. I was like, nope, so good job. Yeah, 364 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:30,920 Speaker 1: they really did well. Awesome. I The one that got 365 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: me was horse raddish, which is strange because I love 366 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,199 Speaker 1: horse raddish, but I think that amount that concentration it 367 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,159 Speaker 1: was too much. I've tried all the flavors like grass mom, 368 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:45,640 Speaker 1: but it's a horse rawdish that really did me in. Yeah. Anyway, anyway, there, 369 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,920 Speaker 1: I mean, they have whole shops that's just food, mostly 370 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,919 Speaker 1: like candy type things that they made. They've brought to life. 371 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 1: That's so cute. Yeah, it's the packaging is on point 372 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,120 Speaker 1: as well. They really did a good job with design. 373 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:06,479 Speaker 1: Apart from that the totally legal universal version, there are 374 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 1: a couple of real world versions of butter beer that 375 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 1: exists in a gray area. When I started researching butter beer, 376 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 1: I was almost instantly derailed by the discovery of the 377 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:21,920 Speaker 1: Starbucks Secret Menu, which has a butter beer frappuccino. It's 378 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 1: not so much a secret menu as much as like 379 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 1: stuff that you can order at Starbucks, like if you 380 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 1: tell them how to make it. Like if you go 381 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 1: up to a counter and like one and butter beer, please, 382 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,159 Speaker 1: they'll probably be like, what do you want me to 383 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 1: put in the cup, sir and or madam so so yeah, 384 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 1: So if you want to order it, just memorize the 385 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,120 Speaker 1: drinks ingredients and and list to them for your barista, 386 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,120 Speaker 1: because they will put more or less anything you want 387 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 1: into a cup and let you drink it. Um. But 388 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 1: but yeah, they might not know what a butter beer is. Um. 389 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,359 Speaker 1: The Internet recommends for a better beer, a cream frappuccino 390 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 1: bass with a couple of pumps each of caramel and 391 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:56,399 Speaker 1: toffee nut syrup, maybe some cinnamon dulce syrup too, And 392 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,160 Speaker 1: you can do the same thing with a whole milk 393 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 1: steamer as a base as well, if you the hot frusion. 394 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: One of the reasons we're doing this episode now is 395 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 1: one Harry Potter Day is July one. I don't know 396 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 1: when you're listening to this, but a Brown, but this 397 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 1: time is when it first came out. And also Dragon 398 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,360 Speaker 1: Con is coming up, which is big convention in Atlanta 399 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 1: where people just up and the whole thing. Anyway, the 400 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: Starbucks in Atlanta always do nerd the drinks, and a 401 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 1: couple of years ago it was butter beer cute. Yeah, 402 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,360 Speaker 1: that's fun. I always try to try them and they're 403 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,440 Speaker 1: always way too sweet. But I'm like, well, I guess 404 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,360 Speaker 1: I'll try this thing, supporting my local nerd economy. Right. 405 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: Another thing that you can buy in the real world 406 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:42,199 Speaker 1: is Madam Ambroch's Magical Menagerie. Um. I've never run into this, 407 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,920 Speaker 1: but she appears at conventions and sells butter beer truffles, 408 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 1: apparently delicious, and she says it's her number one selling product, 409 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 1: usually sold out in twenty minutes. Yeah all right. Yngling 410 00:24:55,960 --> 00:25:00,040 Speaker 1: has a butter beer ice cream, but they main and 411 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 1: it has nothing to do with Harry Potter. Absolutely nothing, no, no, no, no, no, zero, nothing, 412 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:11,680 Speaker 1: not a thing from their website quote. The butter beer 413 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,639 Speaker 1: ice cream, product of yeng Ling's ice Cream Corporation, is 414 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 1: derived from a centuries old British recipe for buttered beer 415 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 1: or ale. And this product name is not intended to 416 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: suggest any relationship with or sponsorship by Warner Brothers Entertainment 417 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:30,120 Speaker 1: Incorporated and the JK Rolling Harry Potter characters or themes. 418 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 1: We're all very sure. Yeah, oh, I believe you. Yeng 419 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 1: Ling's president filed documents to trademark butter beer ice cream 420 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 1: in but he went on ahead without waiting for approval, 421 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: so the legal bight of Warner Brothers could and probably 422 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 1: will descend upon him at any minute. And yes, it's 423 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:55,120 Speaker 1: the same Yengling that makes beer, the Yengling family. Yes, 424 00:25:55,240 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: that yeng Ling started an ice cream arm during Prohibition. Well, 425 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 1: we'll see. I haven't seen their ice cream and stores, 426 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,120 Speaker 1: but I think it might be. It might be a regional, 427 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 1: um northeastern kind of thing. Well, if anyone's running into it, yeah, 428 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 1: let us know. Yeah, and of course you can make 429 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: it at home. On the simpler end of the butter 430 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 1: beer spectrum, you pretty much just need cream, soda and 431 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 1: butter scotch syrup. I used to blend mine together, and 432 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,680 Speaker 1: then I used to freeze it, excuse me, and then 433 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 1: blend it so I'd have the frozen version, which I 434 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,879 Speaker 1: said is my favorite, and I would go without the 435 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: tapping because it is complicated and some of the more 436 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 1: difficult recipes involve things like marshmallow cream and rum extract. 437 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 1: Speaking of room, there are plenty of alcoholic recipes available, yes, 438 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 1: And speaking of marshmallow cream, that's what you usually used 439 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:54,120 Speaker 1: to make the topping. Oh, the consistency, it's just difficult 440 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,920 Speaker 1: to get right. Yeah, But like I said, it's most 441 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:01,920 Speaker 1: people's favorite parts, so it's worth it's worth given a try. There's, 442 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:06,400 Speaker 1: I mean, so many recipes. If you search online you'll 443 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:12,159 Speaker 1: you'll find something. Yeah. So that's butter beer. That's the 444 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,119 Speaker 1: wonderful world of butter beer. Yeah. That's the end of 445 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 1: our first fictional foods segment and brings us to some 446 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 1: listener mail. Yes, Hannah wrote in about our Honey episodes. 447 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 1: She says, I had a hive in college, and the 448 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,640 Speaker 1: queen candy that kept my queen in her separate vial 449 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 1: was nothing other than a gummy bear. Yes, that's so cute. 450 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,360 Speaker 1: I know it takes her quite a while to either 451 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,880 Speaker 1: way through it, giving the beekeeper enough time to place 452 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 1: her in the hive after her journey. She escapes or 453 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 1: doesn't take to the hive, the entire colony will follow 454 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 1: her and he will be a very sad, beeless beekeeper. Yeah. 455 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,920 Speaker 1: Another fun fact, Smoking a high works in two ways. First, 456 00:27:55,040 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 1: it masks warning pheromones that are released by special security bees. Second, 457 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,919 Speaker 1: the rest of the colony thinks there's a fire. They 458 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 1: eat as much as the honey as they can to 459 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,639 Speaker 1: take with them in case they have to evacuate the hive. 460 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,640 Speaker 1: Their bellies are so full of honey they become sluggish 461 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 1: and can't lift their stingers. Be food commas are a 462 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: very real thing. That's that's just really sweet. I know, oh, 463 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 1: something we share with bees. Food commas. Also, Katie wrote 464 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 1: in response to our apple Pie episode, I recently listened 465 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 1: to your episode on apple Pie and felt it was 466 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,119 Speaker 1: my duty as an Ohio University alumna to let you 467 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,119 Speaker 1: know a tiny bit more about a man you mentioned. 468 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 1: Rufus Putnam might not be as legendary as Johnny Appleseed, 469 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 1: but he does have to college mascots named after him. 470 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 1: Ohio Universities Rufus the Bobcat, and Mariatta College is Putnam 471 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 1: the piom And I would recommend searching photos out for 472 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 1: this because they are delightful. They really are. I personally 473 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 1: I've gotten a real kick out of UM college mascots, 474 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 1: just mascots in general. I used to edit step to 475 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 1: Blow your Mind, and a fan rode into them about 476 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 1: how their college mascot was a pretzel. I uh, I 477 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 1: love it. That's so funny and great because I don't 478 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 1: know what how do you do with that? What's you cheer? 479 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 1: What's what kind of dances? Doesn't do that? I don't know. 480 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 1: It's great and we're back here in the present. Thank 481 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 1: you pasted Annie and Lauren. Oh, it's that that was 482 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 1: a long time ago, and I feel like we were 483 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,479 Speaker 1: still a little bit rough around the edges. Um. Oh, yes, 484 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 1: and I said that I have some updates for you 485 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:42,960 Speaker 1: and I do, younglings. Butter beer ice cream is still available. 486 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 1: Uh no, litigation has ensued that I'm personally aware of. UM. 487 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 1: I have since tried frozen butter beer. Annie actually took 488 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 1: me and one of our other co workers, Sarah, down 489 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 1: to Orlando, or We followed her as she was running 490 00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 1: a race in the Disney Parks and yeah, she she 491 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 1: took us around on a extremely well organized adventure throughout 492 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 1: both the Universal Parks and some of the Disney parks, 493 00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 1: and yeah, frozen butter beer whole. It was delicious, way 494 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 1: too much sugar for me. I have so creamy.
