1 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,080 Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to Savor, a production of I Heart 2 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,080 Speaker 1: Radio and Stuff Media. I'm Any and I'm Lauren Vogelbaum, 3 00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:14,680 Speaker 1: and today we're talking about the food of Game of 4 00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:19,439 Speaker 1: Thrones and or a Song of Ice and Fire and or. Yeah, 5 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:21,439 Speaker 1: that's the title of the book series that the TV 6 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,920 Speaker 1: series is based on. Yes, um, it is. It's been 7 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 1: a long time since we've done a fictional foods Yeah, yeah, 8 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 1: it was. The time was nigh, especially because as we 9 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,839 Speaker 1: record this, Game of Thrones is in its final season. 10 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: Indeed it is, indeed it is, but who knows when 11 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,840 Speaker 1: you're listening. Um. We we had to decide on which 12 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:47,199 Speaker 1: geek avenue to pursue because we just did a shwarma 13 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,599 Speaker 1: episode for the Avengers, which I am seen tonight and 14 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,919 Speaker 1: I can't believe how excited I am. Like, it's surprising 15 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: even me. I'm nervous and excited that you're so nervous 16 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 1: right now. That's so great, Yes, yes, um, And we 17 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 1: were like, let's see of fictional foods because we haven't 18 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 1: done one and forever. Game of Thrones is endang, let's 19 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 1: do that. But also Star Wars, yeah, the fourth but 20 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,399 Speaker 1: then you Lauren at the excellent point that Star Wars 21 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 1: is not going away any time soon. Star Wars is eternal. Yeah. 22 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,040 Speaker 1: Game of Thrones is ending, at least in its current popularity. 23 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: The books you know, oh sure, may or may not 24 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,399 Speaker 1: ever come out may or may not. Yeah, all true. 25 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 1: And if some of you are groaning, because I do 26 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: have some friends that are very tired of Game of 27 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,199 Speaker 1: Thrones because over saturation and the excitement, oh Sharon, especially 28 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 1: if you're not a fan of the series. Right. Um, 29 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 1: I was saying, never fear. I am a fan light 30 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 1: That's how I would describe myself. I really enjoy it, 31 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 1: but I'm kind of generally confused. And we are purportedly 32 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,320 Speaker 1: a food and drink podcast, so there will be plenty 33 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: of nursery, but you know, not too much. I mean, yes, yes, Um. 34 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: And I got into Game of Thrones because of the 35 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: core workers here, Um Tyler from our D and D campaign. 36 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: He was super into it, and he accidentally spoiled the 37 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: season finale of season one for me. Oh wow, Um, 38 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: and he feels really bad about it. I didn't care 39 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: because I was like, Who's that what? I was more 40 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: surprised at the actor. Um, But yeah, he felt mad. 41 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: Um and he used to show them on a he 42 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 1: had a projector and every Sunday would get together and 43 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: watch them. Yeah, and then on Monday's Paul Deckins and 44 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,519 Speaker 1: a couple of other people they would re enact it. 45 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: And he has a really good John Snow impressions so good, 46 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: and so I was like, well, I guess I gotta 47 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 1: get in on this. I've never seen that. Okay, I 48 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: like special request that, like right now, it's great, it's 49 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: back in this video cave. I missed everything out in 50 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,519 Speaker 1: the out in the light. I miss everything, Yeah, I do. 51 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,839 Speaker 1: I I am currently watching it with a different group 52 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: of co workers. Um, and it's fun because we all 53 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,799 Speaker 1: are kind of generally confused, like we know it's going on, 54 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: but you know, every now and that comes in, you're like, 55 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 1: who the heck is show? I know? And I spent 56 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: the first three or four seasons thinking Castle Rock as 57 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: a person and wondering when he or she would finally arrive. 58 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: It is a place kept me like who is Castle Rock? 59 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 1: I also want to like soft point out that it's 60 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: Castle Rock not It's definitely not Castily Rock. I thought 61 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,519 Speaker 1: it was Castly. Yeah, I think it's the I don't 62 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: know what accent that is that they do well, it's 63 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: it's some kind of British, but it's certainly made up 64 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: because I mean, I don't know, it's they all. They 65 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: all kind of do what they want in terms of accents. 66 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: True true story. Um so that's kind of that's kind 67 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: of where I you, Lauren. Um Well, I started reading 68 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: the book series in college. It must have been like 69 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: two thousand three or so, so like the third book 70 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: was out, but it would be another couple of years 71 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: before the fourth, and like ten billion years before the 72 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: fifth and and I and I want to put in 73 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: here that I am ribbing on the author George RR. Martin, 74 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: um infamously slow publishing schedule, but I'm doing so fondly 75 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: um as no less than Neil Gaiman. UH famous author 76 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: once said in a blog post, George R. R. Martin 77 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: is not your and he can publish his books or 78 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: not whenever he wants to calm down. Um anyway, yes, Hi, 79 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: I'm a nerd. I was like hooked on the book 80 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: series so excited when the TV series started coming out, 81 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: and I've been following breathlessly the entire time, like it 82 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:44,039 Speaker 1: is problematic as heck, and like increasingly ridiculous and the 83 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: dialogue is going downhill so fast and uh and I 84 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:54,720 Speaker 1: love every single minute of it. Yeah, I am. I've 85 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 1: grown to like it more and more, and I think 86 00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: it's because it has become this kind of cultural thing, 87 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 1: and I just I enjoyed the social aspect of discussing it, 88 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: making fun of it, and trying to figure out who 89 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 1: is what, theories upon theories upon theories. Also, just like 90 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: the the production design is so gorgeous. Um that the 91 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: costumes and the food styling. Yes, yes, And we're gonna 92 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 1: talk about that some in a little bit. I wanted 93 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,160 Speaker 1: to include this bit here. I found an article from 94 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,720 Speaker 1: Vulture headline is Game of Thrones, the last show we'll 95 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,039 Speaker 1: watch together, marks the end of the era of television 96 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: as an epic communal journey. So that's kind of what 97 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,119 Speaker 1: I feel like I am experiencing. And it is strange 98 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: that this and Avengers, which is kind of a similar 99 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: communal journey aspect, are happening at the same time. And 100 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 1: if you're interested, the article argues it has to do 101 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 1: with social media, the difference of binging on Netflix versus 102 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: like all arriving at the shocking moments at the same time, 103 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: and that we all feel like we watch it even 104 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: if we don't, um, because you see it on social media, 105 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: Like maybe you watch Leslie Jones used to do those 106 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: Jones They were so good, they were so beautiful. Leslie Jones, 107 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: You're beautiful and perfect and I miss you on Twitter. 108 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: I understand, but I miss you. Yeah. She still does 109 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: them sometimes on set Myers. Yeah. Um, but yeah, so 110 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 1: even if you don't watch it, you probably are aware 111 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 1: of some of the big cultural like points of it. 112 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:24,359 Speaker 1: Oh yes, um. And the recent premiere drew seventeen million viewers. 113 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 1: They showed it at a local theater. They screened it 114 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,840 Speaker 1: for free. Um. There are several bars here with no 115 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 1: strict no talking policy. Yes, yes, and before HBO crackdown 116 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: on piracy, it was the most illegally downloaded show. It 117 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 1: might still be, but it's like not that the same numbers. Sure, 118 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,039 Speaker 1: it once was. But all of this to bring us 119 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: to our question. Game of Thrones, food and drinks? What 120 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: are they? Uh well? Um? Game of Thrones is a 121 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: TV series based on a book series called A Song 122 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: of Ice and Fire. The books, written by George RR. Martin, 123 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 1: started coming out in nine and the TV series followed 124 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: starting in the series sort of shifts from low fantasy 125 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: meaning no magic to a high fantasy meaning like HELLI 126 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: magic over the course and is set in a fantasy 127 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: world largely patterned on medieval Europe and Eurasia. And it's 128 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: got a lot of food in it. Yes, this is 129 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: a good series when it comes to discussing food and drinks. 130 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: And you made a point, Lauren, that a lot of 131 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: the big things happen over feast, and of course Tyrians 132 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: a k. Peter Dinkl's character famous line, I drink and 133 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: I know things. That's what I do. I drink and 134 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: I know things. Yeah, I realized one day that like 135 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: that's actually my job to drink into no things, just 136 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: like Terrian. Although I know that a lot of a 137 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: lot of humans probably self associate with that line as well. Um. Yeah, 138 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: so many key points in the series are bent around 139 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: food and drink. Um. From the very first feast that 140 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: the Starks throw for Robert Brathean and his entourage. That's 141 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: one of the first scenes in the first book. Um 142 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 1: and and show. Uh. Yeah, you've got the red wedding, 143 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: the Purple wedding, denaries wine merchant in vast off rack 144 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: Uh Sir Davos is the onion night in the Crossroads, 145 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: which serves a lot of food. Is where like sixty 146 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: of the important things in the series happen. That's not 147 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: a precise number, I haven't counted, but like I'm rough 148 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 1: rough cuestimate. Um. So many alcoholics, so many drink poisonings. Yeah, 149 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: the book includes um. The books include a lot of 150 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,319 Speaker 1: very intense descriptions about food, so much so that George R. 151 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 1: Martin has been called out for writing food porn. Oh 152 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: yeah again. Vulture has a listicle of ten times George RR. 153 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: Martin described food more erotically than sex. Because, as they 154 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,079 Speaker 1: say in this article, if you're a fan of the 155 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 1: show but haven't read the Song of Ice and Fire books, 156 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 1: you may not know this, but they're actually not a 157 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 1: medieval inspired political drama. Their food erotica. Oh my goodness, um, 158 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 1: oh goodness, and uh yeah. So so they listed a 159 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: bunch of their their favorite examples of this sort of thing, 160 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: and one of the ones they picked out is from 161 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 1: a Feast in a in a Clash of Kings. I 162 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,559 Speaker 1: forget which book that is. I know in the world Monster, 163 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: you don't have to write in and remind me I 164 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: could google that, but I just didn't. Right now, Um, okay, 165 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: so the quote of food there was plenty. The war 166 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: had not touched the fabled bounty of high garden. While 167 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: singers sang and tumblers tumbled. They began with pears poached 168 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: in wine and went on to tiny savory fish rolled 169 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: in salt and cooked crisp and capon stuffed with onions 170 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: and mushrooms. There were great loaves of brown bread, mounds 171 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: of turnips and sweet corn and peas, immense hams and 172 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: roast geese, and trenchers dripping full of venison stewed with 173 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: b been barley. For the sweet. Lord Caswell's servants brought 174 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: down trays of pastries from his castle kitchens, cream swans 175 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 1: and sponge, sugar unicorns, lemon cakes in the shape of roses, spice, 176 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: tiny biscuits and BlackBerry tarts, apple crisps, and wheels of 177 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 1: buttery cheese. Whoa, and that that happens all the time, 178 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 1: Like I feel like it's like continually throughout the series. 179 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 1: That is I mean, that's just one, that's not the 180 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: only one. Constant um. Oh, it's it's it's really it's 181 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 1: really lavish and beautiful. Um but uh but yeah on 182 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 1: on the show too. Just like check out how often 183 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: food and drink is either consumed or is part of 184 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: these lavish set dressings. Um. Cercy in Tyrian Dang always 185 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,199 Speaker 1: have a wine goblet in hand. Um. Just about every 186 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 1: scene in the bougie castle in King's Landing includes like 187 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: a tower of fruit that in medieval times would have 188 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: cost like my call are right? Yeah? Um? So so 189 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: many conversations happen over meals, like I start to wonder, 190 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 1: like in the writer's room if they're ever just going 191 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 1: like f this is eight pages of straight dialogue. We 192 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: need something for visual interest. Who has a coin to flip? 193 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:19,959 Speaker 1: Long hallway or dinner? Right? Yeah? Yeah, I read. I 194 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 1: read some articles about it and how they how much 195 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,439 Speaker 1: thought went into depending on the setting of like what 196 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 1: would they have available with colors? And like all of 197 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: this thought went into it. Um. And speaking of there 198 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 1: is an official cookbook with George R. Martin himself involved. 199 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, he wrote a forward for it, but the 200 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:43,680 Speaker 1: meat the book. Um. It started as this nerd recipe 201 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: blog started by two fans, Chelsea Eat Monroe Castle and 202 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:51,839 Speaker 1: Sarayan Laher. Since April eleven, as far as I can tell, um, 203 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 1: they've been keeping a blog at In at the Crossroads 204 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 1: dot com. Um. The first posted recipe on there is 205 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 1: for Stance's favorite treat, lemon cakes. Um. That starting date 206 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 1: is kind of uncertain because they had to take some 207 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 1: stuff down from the site upon the ultimate publication of 208 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 1: the book. But anyway, um. Yeah, they base their recipes 209 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:14,959 Speaker 1: on historical recipes, historical Earth recipes, apparently Elizabethan era texts 210 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,319 Speaker 1: and along with some like some like world ancient Roman 211 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: stuff um, but sometimes also often a second take on 212 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,559 Speaker 1: a dish that's more fit for modern tastes and ingredients 213 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: in technology and they they really have their work cut 214 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 1: out for them. Um. In the books in general, Martin 215 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 1: employees this really interesting combination of like historically researched objects 216 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: and terms plus actual magic, uh, plus a blend of 217 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 1: what would be anachronisms if the setting was Earth and 218 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 1: there was no magic involved, like at the very base 219 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 1: of the food issue here. The way that the seasons 220 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: work in in the world of the series, and it 221 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 1: is a key plot device, is that the summers and 222 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:58,839 Speaker 1: winters each last for years. So winter is so winter 223 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,479 Speaker 1: is coming. Yeah, And that set up is like explicitly 224 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: not what most plants and animals that we humans use 225 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: for food would be able to survive through ever, um like, 226 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: and even frozen foods will go off after like three 227 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 1: or four years and then you're down to well preserved goods. 228 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: And Earth humans didn't invent really great canning technology until 229 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 1: after Napoleon Bonaparte offered a prize to whoever could figure 230 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: out how to better preserved food for soldiers in sevente 231 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: at which point we also had muskets and steam engines, 232 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,680 Speaker 1: which is a very different world from that of Game 233 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 1: of Thrones. Yeah, Like, like Martin loosely bases wester ros 234 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: on England Circle the War of the Roses in the 235 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: mid to late fourteen hundreds, so problem problem um but yeah, 236 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 1: so yes, and building off of that very basic base 237 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 1: of the seasons being so screwed, you've just got food 238 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:54,439 Speaker 1: supply chaos in this world, and Martin seems completely unconcerned 239 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: with explaining it, which I love. He's just like, yeah, whatever, 240 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: figure it out. But you know, I mean, dragons and 241 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 1: ice zombies exist there, so I guess whatever foods and 242 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 1: dishes you want to put in are possible to maybe 243 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,959 Speaker 1: the plants are really good at surviving frost. I don't know. 244 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 1: That's the thing about a magical world. Um. And I 245 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: found when I was researching into this, and I can't 246 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: believe I didn't run into this when we were researching 247 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: our Lord of the Rings episode. But there's a controversial 248 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: tomato see and Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings movies, 249 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 1: and this has to do with the avoidance of New 250 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 1: World crops like tomatoes and tobacco and potatoes in the books. 251 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: I believe something was even republished to take tomatoes out. 252 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 1: Wow in Lord of the Rings. Yeah, yeah, because he 253 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 1: did try to explain it and then people were like 254 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: whoa actually, um, yeah, since they're in theory supposed to 255 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 1: take place in a lost historical era in Europe before colonialism, yeah, 256 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: like six thousand years ago. And Martin had the same problem, 257 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: but like didn't seem as concerned about it. Yes, he 258 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 1: does make some allowances, like like there's there's some things 259 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 1: that he specifically doesn't put in there, like um, like 260 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 1: he never mentions tobacco. I don't think anyone smokes. But 261 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: he does have characters chew sour leaf, something called sour leaf, 262 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: which is essentially chewing tobacco except kind of reddish. I 263 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 1: don't know anyway, Um, yes, anyway, these these fans, we're 264 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: running this recipe blog and it turned into it an 265 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: officially approved cookbook deal later in in October, and now 266 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 1: they've got other books out for World of Warcraft and 267 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: Hearthstone and Elder Scrolls and the whole thing makes me 268 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: so happy for fandom and like cooking nursery and history nursery, 269 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 1: and awesomely they're now in touch with the food stylist 270 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 1: from the show and thus can offer recipes that are 271 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: more like what they actually produce for the show.

I can go last season. Um, 281 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 1: and I made some of those those recipes for sure, 282 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: and then I bought a beer called Stark. Yeah. Anyway, 283 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 1: so this actually Segway is really well to my next point, 284 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 1: because there's so much excitement for this final season. Companies 285 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 1: saw all the chance to make some money and they 286 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 1: went all in, and they've been going all but it 287 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: is especially big right now.

That pretty excellent for parametric friends. For 311 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,120 Speaker 1: a feet is about about a meter in a third 312 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 1: or so. It was worth seven thousand dollars. What what? 313 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 1: Oh Dubai? And um there's a Chinese restaurant in al Monte, 314 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 1: California called a Song of Rice and Fire. My hatch 315 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:51,919 Speaker 1: is off to you. It is pretty excellent. But this 316 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 1: about brings us to some some examples, some specific examples. 317 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 1: But first it brings us to a quick break for 318 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: a word from her sponsor m and we're back. Thank 319 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 1: you sponsors, yes, thank you. So all these foods we 320 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,919 Speaker 1: could find in this our nonfictional food world are like 321 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 1: counterparts of them or ancestors of them. Um, but since 322 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 1: there are so many memorable seeds around food, drinks, and feast, 323 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:28,400 Speaker 1: they are worth unpacking. Yeah. The basic ingredients and tastes 324 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:32,120 Speaker 1: in this fictional world very bi fictional region and are 325 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 1: often directly illustrative of the character of the people from 326 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 1: that region. Um like the North has hearty, unpretentious food. Uh. 327 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: Meals and kings Landing are showy like overlavish and decorative. 328 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,680 Speaker 1: The Tyrrells of High Garden have a sense of sensuality 329 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 1: about their food, like they're eating for pleasures sake. Um, 330 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 1: Iron islands food stuff so are straightforward and practical and 331 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 1: uh so on I see, I see. And because this 332 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,919 Speaker 1: is such a sprawling universe, every group has a specific 333 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 1: uh they have specific eating customs or rules. And this 334 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 1: is where we're going to get into fun with fictional prestation. 335 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:10,680 Speaker 1: Oh goodness, I'm probably not gonna be able to help 336 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,119 Speaker 1: you with either. No, sorry, alright. So, for example, the 337 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 1: Giscari who seek out rich foods, and the story goes 338 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 1: that only on the only meat that is off the 339 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:24,680 Speaker 1: table for them is the heart event or dragon. Oh wow, okay, Um, 340 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: there's the Nafi who practice passivism and they refuse to 341 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:33,639 Speaker 1: eat any animal, and that's where millisslandra is from. Well, Um, 342 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: the dorn Is prefer spicy foods and bold wines. Plowing 343 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 1: the earth is considered sacrilege to the dough Raki, so 344 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,920 Speaker 1: they don't cultivate crops things like that. Yeah. Yeah, and 345 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 1: and in there, like there's a lot of real weird, 346 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: half fantasy, half real racist stereotyping that's just floating through 347 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,239 Speaker 1: the series. Um, and uh yeah, you can you can 348 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:55,440 Speaker 1: see if you can see some of that in the 349 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,959 Speaker 1: way that the food illustrates these different people's like like 350 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: the like the like the door and Ish being basically 351 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 1: Spanish or at least Hispanic or Latin kind of like, 352 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: oh man, they really like their spicy food. I'm like, 353 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 1: you guys, can we not? Could we just not have 354 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: done that? Yeah? But that's fine, I mean it's not. 355 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,879 Speaker 1: But I mean, you know, all your faves are problematic. 356 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 1: This is very anyway, let's talk about pigeon pie. Um. 357 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: So this is reminiscent of a meat pie and it's 358 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 1: typically served at weddings in wester Row's. Probably the most 359 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,879 Speaker 1: memorable scene of pigeon pie on the show was the 360 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: one at King Geoffrey who dreadful terrible Oh yeah, bad guy, 361 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 1: bad person and Marjorie Tyrell's wedding. Geoffrey slices into the 362 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:48,640 Speaker 1: enormous pie with his sword Valerious Steel, and outflies some pigeons, 363 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:54,439 Speaker 1: but others are dead pon his blade. It's true, it happened. 364 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 1: There pigeons in there. There are, I mean, most pigeon 365 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 1: pies I imagine don't have live one. That's a stunt 366 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 1: cake kind of issue. Yeah, I have to believe you're 367 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 1: correct on that. Um, Lamprey pie so similar to pigeon pie, 368 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: except lampreys are okay, they're like eels that don't have 369 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: jaws but have lots of teeth. Yeah, they're pretty. They're 370 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 1: pretty gross looking but apparently delicious, and they like lurk 371 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:27,680 Speaker 1: around in the water. And I think they're expensive because yeah, yeah, yeah, 372 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 1: yeah they are because it's dangerous to get them and 373 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: they're marred defined you got to go into the dark 374 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:40,399 Speaker 1: waters and base the teeth. And then there's free pie. 375 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 1: And just in case serious season or two behind on 376 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,679 Speaker 1: the show, we're not gonna specify about this one, but 377 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 1: free Pie, those of you who get it, get it. Yeah, 378 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 1: there's so many types of hie. There's pork pie, steak 379 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 1: and kidney pie, beef and bacon pie, Lord Manderley's pie 380 00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 1: as big as a wagon wheel, delicious oyster's clams and cockles. 381 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,439 Speaker 1: Ah Yeah. Seafood is abundant and fresh and especially in 382 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,400 Speaker 1: the free City of Bravos, and street vendors sell shellfish 383 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 1: straight from carts, cracking open the shells to order. There's 384 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,639 Speaker 1: dire wolf bread and okay, hot pie who is a person, 385 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 1: not a pie, is a friend of Aria's Starks and 386 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 1: a baker's apprentice, and he along with Aria and a 387 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 1: friend of theirs, Gendri, who I went on a very 388 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 1: deep and long rabbit hole trying to figure out what 389 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,640 Speaker 1: his deal is. Recently, they get captured and their captors 390 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 1: offer hot pies baking skills to the end at the 391 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 1: cross Roads to pay for their lodging and meals and 392 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 1: hot pie prefers. This too, you know, danger, So he 393 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 1: decides he'd rather stay, and as a parting gift, he 394 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 1: makes Aria some bread in the shape of a dire wolf, 395 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,919 Speaker 1: which is the sigil of her house house stark Um. 396 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 1: This comebacks. This comes back a little bit later in 397 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,919 Speaker 1: the series. He he offers a a much better like 398 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 1: less slumpy dire wolf head to um uh to to 399 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 1: someone to give to Aria if they find her.

Bowl of brown an 410 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: aptisingly named bowl of stew common for peasants in King's 411 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: Landing and specifically in Flea Bottom, which is like the 412 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 1: poor yeah um, sometimes made with rat meat when you're lucky. 413 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:55,439 Speaker 1: When you're lucky, you got a little bit of a 414 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: little ratter pigeon in there.

Surely out of order maybe perhaps. Um 496 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 1: So those are some of the food examples, but there 497 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,560 Speaker 1: are a lot of drink examples as well. Oh yeah, 498 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 1: and we will get into those as soon as we 499 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 1: get back from another quick break for a word from 500 00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 1: our sponsor, and we're back.

Oh yeah, yeah, the Arbor is known 520 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 1: for its very fine wines, very nice label. I'm sure 521 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 1: there's an in world joke that a commoner would sell 522 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 1: their firstborn child for some Arbor gold. And then there's 523 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 1: Dornish red, which is a sour, spicy red Apparently it's 524 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:38,560 Speaker 1: an acquired taste um, but still an expensive acquired chase. Absolutely, 525 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 1: And then you got Arbor reds and homemade BlackBerry wine. 526 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 1: SS has wine too, They have their own BlackBerry wine, 527 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 1: Tiroshi pear brandy, and sweet reds possibly made with beats. 528 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 1: And one of these wines it's called fire one like 529 00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,640 Speaker 1: that name. The Knights Watch at the Wall drink hot 530 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 1: spiced mold wine. Apparently Lord Commander Mormon had a very 531 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:06,280 Speaker 1: specific recipe that he liked. Um Like John Snow kind 532 00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 1: of like complains about how specific it is at some point, 533 00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:12,480 Speaker 1: um quote, so much cinnamon and so much nutmeg and 534 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,240 Speaker 1: so much honey, not a drop more raisins and nuts 535 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 1: and dried berries, but no lemon. That was the rankest 536 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 1: sort of Southern heresy ran all right, you know, I 537 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 1: appreciate some strong opinions. Yeah, I love a person with 538 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 1: strong opinions about food. I don't know if you guys 539 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 1: knew that about me. No, no, Um. Of course beer 540 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 1: is also present in this world. Beer is for commoner's 541 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 1: wine is for rich folks in general. General, in general. Um. 542 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 1: There's meat black beer in the North, which is probably 543 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 1: a logger type thing. Some black beers are high quality 544 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:51,120 Speaker 1: enough to to charge a similar price as imported wines. 545 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,880 Speaker 1: There's other beers, lots of ales. Yeah, mostly like brown ales. 546 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 1: Beer for every time a day. Breakfast beer is a 547 00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 1: thing at the wall at least. Oh, I have a 548 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 1: friend that little it's that their breakfast beer used to 549 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 1: be a thing and it's not renymore and she laments it. Uh. 550 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:11,200 Speaker 1: There's there's RUMs sometimes poisoned, hopefully not hopefully not. Dusk 551 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 1: rose tea made from a flower that grows around Slaver's 552 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,960 Speaker 1: Bay and is used as a fever reliever, fermented mare's 553 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 1: milk for the doughth Rocky a shade of the Evening, 554 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 1: so named because of the blue stain it gives to 555 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:29,040 Speaker 1: your lips after repeated consumption. The Warlocks of carth believe 556 00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 1: it to be a drink or maybe a drug that 557 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:34,760 Speaker 1: can grant magical abilities. But your mileage very on that. 558 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,680 Speaker 1: And then the mysterious proper Northern drink, which could have 559 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:42,560 Speaker 1: been either moonshine, sarages milk, or neither or both. I 560 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,920 Speaker 1: think it was moonshine, but again that's very confusing because 561 00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 1: they didn't really have stilling technology by that. Oh, anyway, 562 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,720 Speaker 1: that's fine, I'm fine with it. This is me being 563 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,960 Speaker 1: fine with things. Oh yeah, I think you know, I 564 00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 1: kind of interpreted it. Well, no, I can't interpret it 565 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,200 Speaker 1: that way. I was to say, I saw it as 566 00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 1: a moonshine esque, like not moonshine, but that's like our 567 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:07,840 Speaker 1: closest maybe like a moonshine wine. Yeah, I don't know. 568 00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,560 Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll discuss it in too much depth off 569 00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 1: the podcast. And then, as you can imagine, there is 570 00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:19,560 Speaker 1: an entire world of Game of Thrones themed recipes that 571 00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,040 Speaker 1: you can make out there that I probably have nothing 572 00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,320 Speaker 1: to do with any of the food seen in the books. 573 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:29,439 Speaker 1: Or in the show mostly pun based exactly exactly. So yes, 574 00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,920 Speaker 1: I have certainly made some myself, and I had to 575 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:35,759 Speaker 1: include some of my favorite ones based on the puns 576 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:39,279 Speaker 1: puns only I haven't made read all of these.

S To Israel with a study abroad group, 642 00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:08,880 Speaker 1: and part of the journey was taken over Germany in 643 00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:12,799 Speaker 1: an Austrian Airlines plane. Oddly enough, the plane was upholstered 644 00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,839 Speaker 1: with bright green seats and bright red walls, making us 645 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,799 Speaker 1: all feel like we're flying in Santa's sleigh. To top 646 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:20,799 Speaker 1: it all off, when the stewardess came around with the 647 00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,560 Speaker 1: in flight snacks, we were each given a large packaged 648 00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,480 Speaker 1: soft pretzel stick. I love soft pretzels and was so 649 00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:28,640 Speaker 1: excited to bite into this wonderful treat that it took 650 00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,200 Speaker 1: me a moment to realize that this pretzel was more 651 00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:33,480 Speaker 1: than met The eye running through the center of the 652 00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:37,600 Speaker 1: pretzel was quite literally a stick of butter. It was 653 00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:40,640 Speaker 1: about an inch wide and five inches long. The pretzel 654 00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:43,839 Speaker 1: was about six inches long and ice cold. While it 655 00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,640 Speaker 1: was a fun surprise and delicious with the pretzel, I 656 00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:50,040 Speaker 1: felt like asking for more pretzel with my butter. Even so, 657 00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:53,440 Speaker 1: our group really enjoyed this fun change from plane peanuts. 658 00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:58,080 Speaker 1: I can't say I've never I've ever had that experience.
