Yes, because you all are the 4 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:23,079 Speaker 1: best and such awesome messages and we want to share 5 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,080 Speaker 1: them all. And then we get a backhog and we're like, 6 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 1: you know what, time for another listener Reil episode. Yes, yes, man, 7 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 1: We're going to cover some real ground in this one. 8 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:38,639 Speaker 1: We got stuff about crabs, so it's about crab an 9 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 1: old Day. And I am very, very excited to share 10 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 1: all of these messages. Yes, they are so delightful. So, 11 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 1: oh do you want to start? Should I start? I 12 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,240 Speaker 1: guess I'll start because we have a letter from another 13 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 1: a fellow Annie. Yes, yes, Annie wrote, thank you for 14 00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: your Old Bay episode. It overlapped with my life and 15 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: several ways. Of course, as a resident of Baltimore City, 16 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: the spice blend is an ever present friend. But you 17 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: also touch on two other subjects that are near and 18 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: dear to my heart, Baltimore salt boxes and the ice 19 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 1: cream shop the Charmery. I live about three feet from 20 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,320 Speaker 1: the Hampden Charmori and order a scoop of Old Bay 21 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: caramel regularly. It's a beautiful combination of salty, sweet, and spicy, 22 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,119 Speaker 1: best served with hot budge. The Charmery makes some truly 23 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: delicious ice creams, but they are also not afraid to 24 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: push the boundaries of their genre. This past Halloween, they 25 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: quote challenged their audience with five spooky flavors pickled onion survey, 26 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: green bean castle, ketchup and mustard o j and toothpaste, 27 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: and Chianti and Bava bean. I can't say that I 28 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: want them on the full time menu, but I appreciate 29 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: the Charmer's sense of adventure. We couldn't attend parties are 30 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: hand out candy this Halloween, but we had a great 31 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: time tasting the spooky flavors with a few friends. If 32 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: you walk up block east of the Armory, you find 33 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 1: one of Baltimore's most best known salt boxes, Salt Bay. 34 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: We love our salt boxes. They keep us safe and entertained. 35 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: A Few of my favorites are the Wegi Box, the 36 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: Salty Dog Box, and the Saltwater Taffy Box. Shout out 37 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: to Baltimore Salt Box on Instagram for championing them, and 38 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: to artist Juliet Ames. Julia is not only a prolific 39 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,519 Speaker 1: salt box artist. She makes other artists salt box streams 40 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,119 Speaker 1: come true by distributing pre cut, pre painted yellow panels. 41 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: Baltimore has a rich food culture with some intriguing specialties. 42 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: If you're ever inspired to do a Baltimore episode, I'd 43 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 1: like to learn more about lemon peppermint sticks, serving grape 44 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: jelly on a breakfast egg sandwich, bean pies. Why Lake 45 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: Trout is neither trout nor from the lake. Well, I'm 46 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: intrigued by all of it. Yeah, okay, and I love 47 00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: these spooky Halloween flavors. That is so fun. That is brilliant. 48 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,959 Speaker 1: I didn't know that that the o J and toothpaste 49 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: thing was a thing until like basically this week. What 50 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: I somehow missed out on this? I mean, I suppose 51 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: it is, well, if you don't drink of orange juice, 52 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: and I can see how it would be, you can 53 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 1: miss it. But I feel it doesn't I mean, if 54 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: you have orange juices for breakfast and then you brush 55 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: your teeth. Oh so, but apparently some people enjoy it. 56 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: What how disparing truly the spookiest of flavors. Yes, I 57 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: don't know if there's something like mayonnaise, mayonnaise and caramel 58 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: on there. That might really do me in. Oh no, 59 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: mayonnaise flavored ice cream. I bet you would exists that 60 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: it does h okay well. With that firmly in mind, 61 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: because it's not going anywhere now that I've thought of it. Uh, 62 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: Caitlyn wrote, I just finished the Old Bay episode, and 63 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: I have an extremely strong opinion that I'd like to share. 64 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 1: It's terrible, that's all. But really I grew up in Nebraska, 65 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,160 Speaker 1: and when my husband and I moved to Annapolis, Maryland, 66 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: everyone was shocked that I had even heard of Old Bay. 67 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 1: I get that it's big out here, but a lot 68 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: of people seem to assume that it was exclusive as well. 69 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: Although I can't say I've ever used it. My mom 70 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: just always had a box of it at the back 71 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: of the spice covered. It's probably at least thirty years 72 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: old by now cut to moving here, and it's on everything. 73 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 1: It is the single biggest reason I don't choose French 74 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: Frieser tots. At every single restaurant we go to, anything 75 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 1: with a house seasoning or house sauce, you can bet 76 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: it's just Old Bay and mayonnaise. I roll emoji but 77 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: I think you all finally hit on the reason I 78 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: don't like it. I don't particularly like cinnamon and other 79 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: traditionally sweet spices on my savory food because it's almost 80 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: always overdone chili with cinnamon. That's just dessert beans as 81 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 1: far as I'm concerned, and I'd prefer my dessert beans 82 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: to be in mochi and sweet spices mixed with the 83 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: natural sweetness of crab and lobster. It's no wonder I 84 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: could never get into either. Oh strong uping goodness controversy. Yeah, 85 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:40,799 Speaker 1: I U When I miraculously found my bottle of Old 86 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 1: Baby that I've had all along, I did like a 87 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: taste testing of just the spice fland. It's like, oh, yes, 88 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: I do detect notes of cinnamon or whatever. Usually it's 89 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: just dumped in. In my experience, it's just so dumped 90 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 1: into sea food. I don't really take the time to 91 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: analyze the spices. It just sort of tastes like good, yeah, yeah, 92 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:14,039 Speaker 1: savory seafood. I need to okay that this might be 93 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: a weekend project. I need to make like an old 94 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: Bay that does not have the paprika. Yeah, and then 95 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: maybe maybe I'll like taste that and then like smell paprika. 96 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: Oh and see interesting? Yeah, see see what I can do? 97 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: All right? Well, Keitho's updated a lot of food experiments 98 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:41,039 Speaker 1: and projects we've got going on. Aaron wrote, I had 99 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 1: to write to tell you about my passionate disdain for 100 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: root beer and my husband's equal but opposite love of 101 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 1: root beer. For the last twenty one years, he has 102 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 1: met my dislike of root beer with a mix of 103 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: horrified disbelief and evil sense of humor. He finds it 104 00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: especially surprising since my dad grew up in Gulfport, Mississippi, 105 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 1: just down the road from where Barks was created in 106 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: blocks E. Yet I still hate this stuff so much 107 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 1: that I don't even like to smell it on his breath, 108 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 1: and will avoid even a little peck on the cheek 109 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: kiss if I know he has been drinking root beer. Meanwhile, 110 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: my dear Hobby thinks it's delightfully fun to secretly fill 111 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: his large fountain soda cup with root beer and then 112 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: innocently offered to share his drink with me when I 113 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: run out of my small drink. He laughed so hard 114 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: as I choke and sputter on that vile potion, which 115 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: I thought to be an innocent coke. He also finds 116 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: it funny to enjoy a root beer lollipop and then 117 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: lean in all romantic like for a juicy kiss until 118 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: I recoil in horror. I take it all in good stry, though, 119 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: now that our two kids have decided that root beer 120 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: is disgusting because it means I win and he is 121 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: outnumbered in the root beer debate in our house. And 122 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 1: now for the Old Bay I coincidentally listened to the 123 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: Old Bay episode as I was literally driving across the 124 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: Chesapeake Baby in Maryland, going between our main home in 125 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: northern Virginia and our beach house on a tiny island 126 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: on the eastern Shore. Growing up in the area, our 127 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: family has strong attachments to Old Bay seasoning. When I 128 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: cleaned up my mom's estate last year, I even found 129 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: a rusted canni Old Bay in the back of a 130 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: kitchen cabinet dated to nineteen seventy three, back when they 131 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: actually listed all of the now secret spices on the 132 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 1: ingredient list. I'm sure we went through dozens of cans 133 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: in the interim, but that longest place can it was 134 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: an interesting find. Needless to say, Old Bay has been 135 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: a part of my life as long as I can remember. 136 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,559 Speaker 1: So when my brother did a craboil a few years 137 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: ago and brought out j O number two instead of 138 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: old Bay, I was shocked. Not only did he bring 139 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: out the j O, he brought out a twenty five 140 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: pound bucket of jasoning. He explained that he had tried 141 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,079 Speaker 1: it at a friend's restaurant and liked it better, but 142 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: couldn't find it in retail quantities, so he decided to 143 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: go all in on a twenty five pound food service package. 144 00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 1: He begged and pleaded for me to take some of 145 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: it to our b ch house because he wasn't going 146 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: to go through that much seasoning in a lifetime. I 147 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,319 Speaker 1: grudgingly obliged and went on my way with a gallon 148 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: sized ziplock filled with j O seasoning. Fast forward a year. 149 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 1: We were cooking some crabs we had just caught at 150 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: the beach, and my youngest son for at the time, 151 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: decided to help by bringing the bag of j O 152 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: seasoning closer to the steamer in the screened porch. He 153 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: managed to drop the bag, though, and spilled almost the 154 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: entire gallon of j O on the outdoor carpet that 155 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 1: was soaking wet from the previous night's thunderstorm. The quickest 156 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 1: way I could think of to clean it up was 157 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 1: the vacuum, but it was already too late. As soon 158 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: as I started vacuuming, it began clumping as it turned 159 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: into a paste. My poor, poor vacuum was completely filled 160 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: with a sticky, pungent mess. It took me several hours 161 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: to completely disassemble my dison on the kitchen floor and 162 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 1: scrape the goo out of all the crevices I possibly could. 163 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: Two years later, my vacuum still smells like j O seasoning, 164 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: but my table will now only feature old bay In closing? 165 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: Might I suggest that the only obvious food based tattoo 166 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 1: that Annie should get is a jar of peanut butter. 167 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 1: That's true, I agree that would be perfect. It would 168 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,559 Speaker 1: be I would have to think about the design. I 169 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: would have to I'm already like running through what they 170 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: could look like in my head. Well, we have heard 171 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,680 Speaker 1: so much about root beer, and as someone who's still 172 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 1: not tried it, I am like going back and forth 173 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: between this passionate love people having this passionate people. Oh, 174 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: oh goodness, right. And we saw each other this week 175 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 1: and I didn't beer. Heck, oh, Phil who knows it 176 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: could have made me, could have put me in a 177 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: rotten mood. And as your dunking master, you might not 178 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 1: have wanted that. That's very true. That's very Oh no, no no, no, 179 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have let you drink it. Then I would 180 00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 1: have been like, no, no no, no, you home. We can 181 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 1: skype about it if you want to. But yes, hopefully 182 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 1: I don't do a spick take or something ruined. My 183 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: computer can get you a shield that they that's what 184 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 1: I need. Go all in on this. Root beer testing. Yeah, 185 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 1: very important. Root beer testing, Vivian wrote, I just wanted 186 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: to him. In regarding root beer and the Chinese dislike 187 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 1: of it, the listener who wrote in about finding nary 188 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: a root beer enthusiast in China mentioned that many people 189 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: said it tasted like medicine. This is so true. Licorice 190 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: is used in common Chinese herbal medicines. In Chinese, it's 191 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 1: called gin sao, where u sao means grass and gone um, 192 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: I just learned from Google apparently means sweet lies. Anyone 193 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,959 Speaker 1: who grew up being plied with these herbal medicines is 194 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: likely to despise eyes anything containing liquorice, including liquorice candies. 195 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: A Dutch coworker once brought in some liquorice candies. There 196 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: was a spectrum of appraisals, but you can bet both 197 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: I and another Chinese American coworker resoundingly hated it, and 198 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 1: another another person way huh, I guess that makes sense. 199 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: I remember we we did do the liquorice tasting on 200 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: the show, one of our few tasting, and I didn't 201 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 1: hate it, but I do remember thinking it tasted medicinal 202 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 1: to me. Um it does? I mean it doesn't not? 203 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 1: Mm hmmm, oh very liquorice she liquorice is are are not? 204 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,559 Speaker 1: Are not my favorite? Like there's that. There are grades 205 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 1: of liquorice, and I like a solid American flavored licorice 206 00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: like European licorice is. I'm like, oh my goodness, what 207 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 1: are you doing? Huh? Well, the the anticipation continues to build, 208 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 1: all right, um well, Daniel wrote regarding your bubble t episode. 209 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: I tried to hold back the chuckles every time you 210 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 1: two mentioned boba. It's a casual manner. I'm a Chinese 211 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 1: origin and all my young Asian friends are all huge 212 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 1: fans of bubble tea. I, on the other hand, am 213 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: somewhat indifferent. I found your research of the name boba 214 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,199 Speaker 1: quite thorough. Yes, indeed, there was a Hong Kong actress 215 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,599 Speaker 1: nicknamed Boba on account of resisable front. So Boba is 216 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,200 Speaker 1: a slang term coming out of Hong Kong. Bo is 217 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: the phonetic translation of the English word ball, in this 218 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 1: case meaning breast, and the best English translation of the 219 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 1: word ba would be tyrannical, meaning way more beyond a 220 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:57,719 Speaker 1: mere champion. Boba milk tea in Chinese is boba night cha. 221 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: Apologies if I mispronouncing that, basically meaning tyrannical breast milk 222 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:08,559 Speaker 1: tea Taiwanese marketing, I guess. But nowadays in Chinese people 223 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 1: don't call them boba anymore. They are called jin jw 224 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: nita pearl milk tea. Not until I listened to your 225 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 1: episode did I realize that the American public had taken 226 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 1: on the term boba. And this threw me way off ballots, 227 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: and to regain balance, I felt compelled to write you, well, 228 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: thank you. Yeah, that's goodness, goodness, I had no idea. 229 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: I did not either. I am delighted and I hope 230 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 1: that that you got that you've got a lot of 231 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 1: entertainment out of that. Yes, that is always our our goal. Uh, 232 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: sometimes we don't intend to do it in this accidental manner, 233 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 1: but happy nonetheless, Yeah, I will say as I said 234 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 1: it that one. I usually call it bubble tea or 235 00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: milk tea, but I just know that from what I 236 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 1: was reading, a lot of people here do call it. Yeah. 237 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 1: I was introduced to it um as bobo um as 238 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: boba tea, but um but I think I've switched at 239 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 1: some point through Yeah, just just the number of shops 240 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: in the area that use bubble tea instead of so, 241 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 1: I don't know, it's probably regional. I think so that's 242 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 1: what I read. Um, but I'm very happy to get 243 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: a more detailed explication. I am making a mental note 244 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: of that. That is like my factoid of the day. 245 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 1: J Sue wrote, I'm reading in after just listening to 246 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 1: the Bubble Tea episode. As a Taiwanese, I was delighted 247 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 1: to hear about a drink from my country being featured 248 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 1: on the show. Bubble Tea is, like many Taiwanese cuisines, 249 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 1: a combination of all the cultures, both East and West 250 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: that converges on the island. I really appreciate your effort 251 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 1: in researching the topic, even covering the recent drought that's 252 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: causing all kinds of trouble. I have two fun facts 253 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: that I would like to share with you. The first 254 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: is that bubble tea is so widely consumed in Taiwan 255 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 1: that it sometimes used to describe how much an item 256 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: er service costs, hence the bubble Tea for Arms incident. 257 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 1: The second is that when the Boba pizza first came out, 258 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 1: the Internet had very strong opinions about it. Some people 259 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: argued that it was an abomination, worse than Hawaiian pizza. 260 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 1: I've never had the chance to taste it, but most 261 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 1: reviews that I found claimed that they were fairly decent 262 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: as a pastry, not as pizza. But the Boba pizza 263 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: is not the most mind blowing boba cuisine. That title 264 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: goes to Boba Raman Yes It's a thing, does not 265 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 1: comment see because because the because the pearls I have of, 266 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 1: I feel weird about calling him boba now because because 267 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: the pearls are chewy, and like good ramen noodles are 268 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:11,400 Speaker 1: also chewy, but in a slightly different way. Uh yeah, 269 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:16,679 Speaker 1: you know, why not try things? Um? I need to. 270 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 1: I'm like, what kind of broth do you use? What 271 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 1: other kinds of are there? Like coconut jellies in there? 272 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 1: Like what's happening? Is this a sweet ramen? Or is this? 273 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: Oh gosh, more questions than answers. This is like I'm 274 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 1: like just staring into the middle distance behind my microphone, 275 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: going like the possibilities, the terrible possibilities, the call of 276 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 1: the Bobo rock, It's summons the wet that. Yeah. But 277 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,160 Speaker 1: in the meantime, we have some more listener mail to cover. 278 00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: We do. But first we've got a quick break for 279 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:11,120 Speaker 1: a word for our sponsor, and we're back. Thank you sponsor, Yes, 280 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 1: thank you, Kelsey wrote, I am loving the Blue Crab episode, 281 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 1: particularly Anie's references to the Bay. Yes. I picked up 282 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,719 Speaker 1: a copy of that film from my local library a 283 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 1: while back now, and wow, it was upsetting. I actually 284 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 1: paused it at a few points to quickly research the 285 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:33,920 Speaker 1: film and it's parasitic subject matter. I am biased, as 286 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,400 Speaker 1: I personally quite like found footage hard, but the Bay 287 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:41,119 Speaker 1: was really good. Here on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada 288 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 1: are delicious native crab is the dungeness. Their flesh is sweet, 289 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 1: their carapace sort of burgundy and hugh. They get intimidatingly large, 290 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: and catching them is the best kind of fishing. Set 291 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 1: a trap, then buzz off for a while before hauling 292 00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: up your catch. As a child, playing catch and release 293 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:03,479 Speaker 1: with shore crabs, we small ones that are basically bird fodder. 294 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 1: I was taught that female crabs have a bee hive 295 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: on their belly, while males have a lighthouse. A favorite 296 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 1: game between my cousins and I was to see who 297 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 1: could pick up the largest shore crab without getting pinched. 298 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,880 Speaker 1: The only ones safe from our grasping little paws were 299 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,879 Speaker 1: the spider crabs, which look creepy and love hiding and kelp, 300 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 1: startling passer by and rude children alike. Thank you for 301 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,399 Speaker 1: your wonderful program. Extra thanks for your mention of the 302 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 1: game Morals. A little while back. We ordered a copy 303 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 1: and my nine year old and I love it. I 304 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:37,919 Speaker 1: would never have heard of Morals if it weren't for 305 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 1: you all the saber Lauren, your aquarium ecosystem sounds fantastic. 306 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 1: I haven't been brave enough to return to aquarium ownership 307 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,199 Speaker 1: since my ill fated fay as an irresponsible tween. I 308 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,400 Speaker 1: still feel guilty about those poor fish.

Happy to hear that it was 336 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: a good time. Yeah, especially now that we're we're we're 337 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:52,919 Speaker 1: back to having game game nights. Uh. Kirk wrote loved 338 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,640 Speaker 1: the Crab podcast, and the explanation of a crab jubilee 339 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 1: brought to mind a poem by the great Niffundland poet 340 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,879 Speaker 1: Ted Russell called the Smoke Room on the Kyle. First, 341 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 1: a little backstory on the Kyle. She was a coastal 342 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 1: boat in Newfoundland that folks used to move around the 343 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:12,440 Speaker 1: island before all the communities were connected by road, and 344 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 1: was the ship my mother took from St. Anthony when 345 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 1: she came to university in St. John's, and my father 346 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 1: and grandfather often traveled around the island on her. Enough 347 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,199 Speaker 1: on the ship and more on the Great Poem by 348 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:27,120 Speaker 1: Mr Russell. The poem is a great example of Newfoundland storytelling, 349 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,919 Speaker 1: and I remember sitting around with my great uncle baiting 350 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,719 Speaker 1: troll lines and mending nets in their fishing stage and 351 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 1: listening to them telling tales like this. In the poem, 352 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 1: Grandpa Walcott tells a tale of catching squid that I 353 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:43,360 Speaker 1: would think qualifies as a Jubilee of squid. I've included 354 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,120 Speaker 1: a link to Ted's son Kelly reciting the poem while 355 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,239 Speaker 1: standing on the deck of the Kyle. You will get 356 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 1: a better sense of the poem's voice hearing it in 357 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 1: his accent. I hope you get a chuckle at this 358 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,880 Speaker 1: fisher's tail. And remember, all of these things really happened, 359 00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 1: except the ones that didn't. That's how I often feel 360 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 1: doing these episodes. To be honest, Oh yeah, yeah, we're like, oh, 361 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 1: this is all actual facts, except for you know, whatever 362 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 1: isn't maybe not yes, always we love food pobs. Thanks 363 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,200 Speaker 1: for sending in a recitation, And I just gotta say, 364 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 1: a jubilee of squid sounds terrifying, Like yeah, yeah, Jubilee 365 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 1: of crabs had a freaky enough but yeah, I'm like 366 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 1: I oh yeah, oh yeah, no between um, between the 367 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:37,399 Speaker 1: Watchman series and also reading Spear as a kid and 368 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 1: uh just squid look at him trying not to know. 369 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,679 Speaker 1: I actually am a big fan of like creatures like 370 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 1: that are my favorite. Yeah, but they do. They do 371 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:55,120 Speaker 1: look a little freaky. They're weird. They're super weird looking. Um. Also, 372 00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 1: so many apologies if I butchered literally every place name 373 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 1: and other proper noun in that listener mail I we 374 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 1: we looked up Newfoundland right before I read that, uh, 375 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 1: and there were several different pronunciations, so I went with 376 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 1: the one that seemed the most common. Yeah. Yeah. Also, 377 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: in general, apologies for mispronunciations of any please, because you know, 378 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 1: sometimes you think you know how to pronounce something, it 379 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 1: turns out you really don't. Yeah yeah, And sometimes when 380 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,639 Speaker 1: you look it up, the pronunciation guide is wrong, or 381 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 1: we're human and we make the wrong phoneme sounds with 382 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 1: our mouths, and it just occurs. It just occurs. But 383 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,639 Speaker 1: so yes, thank you, Thank you for your grace, and 384 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: always thank you for your corrections. Both are appreciated. Courtney 385 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,640 Speaker 1: wrote after your Crab episode, I thought I would share 386 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 1: at the family story known fondly as the Great Crab Massacre. 387 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,200 Speaker 1: When I was a child, my father and brother would 388 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: go crabbing with another family off the Oregon coast during 389 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,879 Speaker 1: our vacations. For whatever reason, this trip, they decided to 390 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,159 Speaker 1: bring the crab home for my family to cook. But 391 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 1: my father, the cook in my family, and the other 392 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 1: parents went out somewhere I still don't know where, or 393 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 1: I leaving my mom to watch four tweens and cook. 394 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 1: The oldest son of the other family said, so, you're 395 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,640 Speaker 1: going to cook the crab for dinner. My mom said, 396 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,199 Speaker 1: I have no idea how to cook crab. This destroyed 397 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 1: that guy. His mom was basically Doris Day and my 398 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: mom mowed the lawn and fixed things, so you can 399 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:49,400 Speaker 1: imagine now that we were in gender rolls for him. Anyways, 400 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 1: he told her to put them in a pot of 401 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 1: boiling water, but no one knew how long to cook them. Well, 402 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:58,359 Speaker 1: we watched the entire Miss America paget on TV in 403 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 1: r r V. Consider how long those are. You can 404 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:05,919 Speaker 1: imagine what happened to the crab, yep rubber, But we 405 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: didn't know that at the time. So all the kids 406 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 1: went out to the picnic table at OURV site and 407 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,439 Speaker 1: started smashing crabs that around nine pm at night. It 408 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 1: was great fun for us, but no one ate the crab, 409 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 1: So not only did we massacre them by destroying the shells, 410 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,200 Speaker 1: we massacred the meat. We all ended up at Abbab's 411 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: late night for dinner, which only made it better because 412 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 1: this is during the time of smoking sections. During our dinner, 413 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,639 Speaker 1: the smoke detector in the smoking section went off like 414 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 1: five times. Every time it turned off, the whole smoking 415 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: section went a blaud. It was the most interesting vacation 416 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:46,399 Speaker 1: night of my childhood. Well that does certainly sound like 417 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 1: a very memorable and interesting vacation experience. I feel like 418 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 1: we all have those memories of you had dinner plans 419 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 1: on a vacation and you big for whatever reason go 420 00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 1: wrong and you end up at say Applebee's or where 421 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 1: did we go? One time my family, it was like 422 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 1: ten pm and nothing was open. We went to Chili's 423 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:16,479 Speaker 1: they stay up until eleven pm, but we were like 424 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:20,920 Speaker 1: at a seafood galore restaurants. We had this big plan 425 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 1: of going to the seafood place and everything was closer. 426 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 1: It was no crab massacre, but oh yeah, oh, those 427 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 1: those were very well boiled crabs. That yeah, oh yeah, 428 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 1: sad crabs. Sad crabs, and no one even got to 429 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: eat them. Happy memories, but sad crabs. John wrote, Ladies, 430 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,159 Speaker 1: I've been listening for ages now and I love the podcast. 431 00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 1: Oh thank you. I even wrote a stand up, but 432 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,919 Speaker 1: that was informed greatly by your lobster episode. But this 433 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 1: email is about another crustacean, the blue crab. I'm from 434 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:10,159 Speaker 1: God's Own Country, Charleston, South Carolina, and blue crabs are 435 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 1: a huge part of low country cooking. This time of year. 436 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,680 Speaker 1: We have softies, soft shell crabs, and low quats, which 437 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 1: I recommend for another show. And the jasmine is in 438 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,919 Speaker 1: bloom so the whole city smells amazing down here. We 439 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 1: like to go crab in whenever we can. Basically, you 440 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,200 Speaker 1: take a few crab traps, just large metal baskets um 441 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,119 Speaker 1: and a few hand lines along string with an aggressive 442 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,680 Speaker 1: looking hook on the end, bait them with chicken necks, 443 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,719 Speaker 1: and head out to your nearest doc. The traps are 444 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 1: self explanatory, but with the hand lines, you drop the 445 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 1: beat chicken necked hook into water and wait until you 446 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 1: feel the subtle tugs and bumps a blue crab picking 447 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 1: at the bait. Then you have to oh so deftly 448 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,160 Speaker 1: pull the hook back up and scoop a net under 449 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 1: the crab before they see you and jump off, only 450 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 1: to disappear back into the water. If you're lucky, you'll 451 00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 1: catch enough for a crab crack or maybe a crab 452 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 1: boil for anounced bowl. A crab crack is exactly what 453 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 1: it sounds like. You stand around with a small gathering 454 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 1: and just go to town on a pile of hot, 455 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 1: bold crabs. A crab bowle is a slightly larger affair. 456 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 1: Usually it's a variation of a low country boil, which 457 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 1: some people may call a frogmore stew, which is usually 458 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 1: red skinned potatoes, corn on the cob, sausage and shrimp. 459 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 1: For crab bowle, start with the abuff mix and throw 460 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 1: in a couple dozen crabs. Just spread out some newspaper 461 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 1: on a large table, put out some bottles of hot 462 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 1: sauce and butter, and you've got a great night ahead 463 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 1: of you. Oh yes, oh yes, I've never done a 464 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 1: crab bowl or boil. I have done a crawfish one, 465 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 1: which I've know I talked about on that in that episode, 466 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 1: and they are so fun and so delicious, But I'm like, 467 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,719 Speaker 1: I get a lot of cuts. Oh yeah, I it is. 468 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 1: It is delicious pain. Um. It is definitely like I 469 00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 1: I am so not great at crawfits cracking, and so 470 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 1: I like sometimes like I am valiant, but eventually I'm 471 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 1: just like, I'm just are there, shrimp? Can? I just 472 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 1: need more potatoes? I don't know, like what, I can't 473 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 1: look at these poor hands. They look like such strong hands. 474 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,640 Speaker 1: Oh gosh. And uh. And on the pronunciation of the 475 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 1: word boil um from watching the Very Delightful Amy Sadaris 476 00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 1: Show at Home with Amy Sadaris. Um, I picked up 477 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 1: she she she pronounces it very she she's from the area, 478 00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 1: and she pronounces it bowl and uh. And she also 479 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 1: pronounces other related words like owl and stuff like that. 480 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,240 Speaker 1: And I picked up those pronunciations from that because I 481 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 1: was just so charmed by it. And sometimes I have 482 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,840 Speaker 1: a hard time not saying it that way. I am 483 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:58,480 Speaker 1: from nowhere near that accent, right, Yeah, but you can 484 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:02,480 Speaker 1: catch on for sure. Um. That's why I was kind 485 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,640 Speaker 1: of going back and forth during that during that read 486 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 1: m hmmm um. And we have another email about crabs 487 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 1: from Sheldon, who wrote your crab episode. Reminded me of 488 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 1: something A long time ago when I lived in my 489 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 1: Sea Long Island, out crabbing for a morning, got half 490 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 1: a pail full of crabs. Been heading home, we passed 491 00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 1: the bar and thought that a lunch in a beer 492 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 1: would be perfect before getting home. It was a hot day, 493 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:30,360 Speaker 1: so instead of leaving the pail of crabs in the hot, 494 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,760 Speaker 1: sunny car, we brought them in with us and left 495 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 1: them under the table while we ate. Must have been 496 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,880 Speaker 1: a joke or something, and Mike, not me, no way, 497 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 1: kicked his legs and knocked the pail over. Ever, see 498 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 1: what happens when a few dozen crabs start running across 499 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 1: the floor of a bar. They run fast and sideways, 500 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,720 Speaker 1: and people scream we left there fast without our crabs, 501 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,160 Speaker 1: lots of crabs. I had a story that we've been 502 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 1: telling for forty five years now. Oh my goodness, I 503 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 1: can just imagine the pandemonium, chaos, the stable, China act 504 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:18,479 Speaker 1: all cool shack please. Oh. I bet the people at 505 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 1: the restaurant remember that as well. I bet they do. 506 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 1: I bet that there are wait staff that are still 507 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 1: being like, oh man, well, at least it's not the 508 00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,080 Speaker 1: crab day. This is a whole day. But at least 509 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:38,800 Speaker 1: it's not the crab day. Right. Well, we do have 510 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 1: a little bit more for you listeners, but first we 511 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 1: have one more cup break for word from our sponsors. 512 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:56,680 Speaker 1: We're back. Thank you sponsors, Yes, thank you.

While the fire burned 523 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,960 Speaker 1: entire mountain sides less than a mile away across the river, 524 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 1: and the cloud of smoke gave the world as Cpia filter. 525 00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 1: I harvested my super hot orange Trinidad Scorpion and King 526 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 1: Naga peppers and used both to make a delicious Neon 527 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:46,360 Speaker 1: orange hot sauce. I doubt it was under two hundred 528 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,200 Speaker 1: thousand on the Scoville scale, and I called it Eagle 529 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:52,720 Speaker 1: Creek fire sauce. I have sadly been forced to cut 530 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:54,880 Speaker 1: back on the heat due to ongoing protests in the 531 00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:59,160 Speaker 1: abdominable region. But this year I'm growing seven varieties of peppers, 532 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 1: including the red savina, and I will certainly make more 533 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 1: hot sauce. Perhaps I'll send you a jar of my 534 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,720 Speaker 1: Archer Mountain Chipotle after I smoke a batch of jalapenos 535 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:11,840 Speaker 1: and Hobba narrows and re create my old recipe from 536 00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 1: I opened the final jar of it, and it was delicious. 537 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 1: The final thing I wanted to share is that I 538 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:21,840 Speaker 1: recently confirmed Wilbriscoville is my seventh cousin a few generations removed. 539 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,520 Speaker 1: Of course, given my family's love of hot peppers, I 540 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:31,640 Speaker 1: thought that was a fun coincidence. Is fun um? And 541 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:36,520 Speaker 1: all the hot sauce sounds so delicious? You do you 542 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:42,000 Speaker 1: think all hot sauce sounds so delicious? Yes? People. I 543 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,120 Speaker 1: love that. People been writing in and been like, have 544 00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:47,400 Speaker 1: you tried these? Have you tried these? The whole world 545 00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 1: of hot sauces is opening to me. I did get 546 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,480 Speaker 1: among me and two other friends. We have all the 547 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,759 Speaker 1: hot ones, hot sauces, but we're gonna try to do it. 548 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,920 Speaker 1: Oh no, it's gonna be a day. I'm gonna like 549 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:07,359 Speaker 1: block off the next day. Yeah, yeah, you probably should. 550 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 1: You probably should. Oh gosh, I'll report back on how 551 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 1: that goes. Whenever we do it. We're very clearly nervous 552 00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 1: about it. We're all like, yeah, let's do it and 553 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 1: put forth a day. Yeah goodness, Yes, felipe A wrote 554 00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:27,400 Speaker 1: loved the Bullyon episode and it was great to understand 555 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,959 Speaker 1: how the Bullyon restaurants in France came to have that name. 556 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:31,920 Speaker 1: A couple of years ago, my wife and I went 557 00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,480 Speaker 1: to Paris for the weekend. Ahead of the trip, I 558 00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:37,600 Speaker 1: researched which restaurants to visit, but to my great surprise, 559 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:41,920 Speaker 1: pretty much every decent brasserie was I wateringly expensive. I 560 00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:43,920 Speaker 1: was about to give up and settle for less typical 561 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,920 Speaker 1: food when I came across an article celebrating the rebirth 562 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,399 Speaker 1: of bullions. I read some more, checked them and used 563 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,520 Speaker 1: and was thrilled to see the food on offers pretty 564 00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:53,839 Speaker 1: much the same as in the brasseries, but with far 565 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:58,400 Speaker 1: more reasonable prices. We ended up going to Booleon Chatier, 566 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 1: a gorgeous old Paris and atitution. After queuing for ten minutes, 567 00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:03,880 Speaker 1: we were taken to our communal table and we had 568 00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,239 Speaker 1: a fantastic mill of scargo sausages and a cast role, 569 00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,880 Speaker 1: served by very efficient and friendly waiters, and in a 570 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,200 Speaker 1: little over an hour we were back to doing torsty things, 571 00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:17,600 Speaker 1: very happy with the experience. Sounds wonderful. That does sound wonderful. 572 00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 1: Oh goodness right, Oh, I haven't had an ASCAR going 573 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:26,319 Speaker 1: so long. I know. When I was reading this, I 574 00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,759 Speaker 1: was like, what's the late scar go in front of 575 00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:36,600 Speaker 1: your snills? Sorry random thoughts. I My roommate has definitely 576 00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:40,239 Speaker 1: like shown my shrimp, the shrimp that she was about 577 00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:45,960 Speaker 1: to cook, like seeing these are your buddies, And I'm like, hidie, 578 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,120 Speaker 1: those are dead buddies and they can't see them, and 579 00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:59,200 Speaker 1: She's like whatever heck. Rachel wrote, I have a mildly 580 00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:02,160 Speaker 1: amusing musque our mule story for you. Let me set 581 00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,359 Speaker 1: the scene. I went to university in the early two 582 00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:08,359 Speaker 1: thousands in Denin in New Zealand. Imagine San Francisco's hilly 583 00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:13,160 Speaker 1: streets and Victorian cottages, but colder, no installation little heating. 584 00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:17,239 Speaker 1: In winter, these student flats barely creep above ten degrees celsius. 585 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:20,960 Speaker 1: That's fifty fahrenheit indoors. One winter, my flatmate and I 586 00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,600 Speaker 1: decided to have a Moscow mule night. We started with 587 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:27,480 Speaker 1: about six bottles of Bunderberg ginger beer each, lime juice, 588 00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:32,719 Speaker 1: and the obligatory bottle of Sarnoff. Dangerously quaffable is definitely accurate. 589 00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,680 Speaker 1: We thought nothing of sticking to one drink all night. 590 00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:40,120 Speaker 1: About four seventy five million liter bottles of ginger beer 591 00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:44,960 Speaker 1: each down, we started getting warm, like really warm. By 592 00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,200 Speaker 1: the fifth bottle, we had stripped down to tank tops 593 00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:50,640 Speaker 1: and had red faces sweating profusely in our ten degree flat, 594 00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:54,120 Speaker 1: while our flatmates wore about six layers. The ginger in 595 00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:57,600 Speaker 1: those mules had completely overheated us. It's a lesson I 596 00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,879 Speaker 1: learned and have never repeated. Those Delicia strengths will heat 597 00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:07,520 Speaker 1: you up from the inside out, so watch out. I 598 00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:10,840 Speaker 1: don't make sense after knowing the science that you talked about, Lord, 599 00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:15,919 Speaker 1: and Yeah, it's all these eating elements share share. Yeah, 600 00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:18,160 Speaker 1: I can't say I've ever had an experience like this. 601 00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:22,360 Speaker 1: I've definitely felt like the the worm burning and the 602 00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:27,560 Speaker 1: cheeks kind of flushes. Yeah, but because it makes weird 603 00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:31,600 Speaker 1: blood vessels dilated. I've definitely felt overheated while while uh 604 00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,799 Speaker 1: imbibing alcohol. Um. And I'm always reminded there was this 605 00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,680 Speaker 1: really great episode of MythBusters where they tested the myth 606 00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:42,719 Speaker 1: about alcohol keeping you warm in the cold and by 607 00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:44,480 Speaker 1: and to do that, they put I'm sorry, I'm just 608 00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:46,680 Speaker 1: telling you about a thing that happened on a TV show. Now. 609 00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:51,160 Speaker 1: But but so so, Jamie and Adam went into like 610 00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:56,320 Speaker 1: a cold warehouse room or something and uh, Jamie stayed 611 00:38:56,360 --> 00:39:01,960 Speaker 1: sober and Adam got progressively drunk and they had an 612 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:06,600 Speaker 1: infrared camera on them and uh and as it turns out, 613 00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:10,240 Speaker 1: alcohol will not keep you physically warm. Your body temperature 614 00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:14,560 Speaker 1: will wind up going down further uh as you lose 615 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:19,080 Speaker 1: heat to your blood vessels dilating. Um, but you won't 616 00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:25,279 Speaker 1: feel it. You will care less. That sounds about right, 617 00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:34,280 Speaker 1: of course, there's a test for that has been done. 618 00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:43,640 Speaker 1: Experiment Summer wrote. Geese are terrified they will set your 619 00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,600 Speaker 1: ego anywhere near their nest. I personally have lots of 620 00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:50,200 Speaker 1: experience with Canada geese, which are found everywhere here in London, Ontario, 621 00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:53,760 Speaker 1: but in awe seriousness. Geese are quite aggressive, especially around 622 00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,799 Speaker 1: breeding time. Unlike other birds, they don't move by the 623 00:39:56,840 --> 00:40:00,520 Speaker 1: way of humans. Humans move by the way for geese. 624 00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:03,440 Speaker 1: If you don't, geese will hiss and warning, proceed to 625 00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:06,040 Speaker 1: chase you and even jump you if you don't heed 626 00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:10,799 Speaker 1: their warning and poop so much. Geese poop everywhere they go, 627 00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,439 Speaker 1: they leave their mark, and for some reason, dogs loved 628 00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:15,960 Speaker 1: to roll in it. I guess the geese have already 629 00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:19,880 Speaker 1: gotten to them. This shed some light on Lauren's reasonable 630 00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:25,080 Speaker 1: fear of kee. You know, I remembered right after we 631 00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,440 Speaker 1: talked about that that there was a story in the 632 00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:30,759 Speaker 1: news recently about a goose in a mall parking lot 633 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:34,320 Speaker 1: that was like attacking people, and it was I felt 634 00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:36,160 Speaker 1: bad laughing at it, but it was kind of funny 635 00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:39,040 Speaker 1: because the news camera was just there watching these people 636 00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,760 Speaker 1: get chased by a goose or like nobody warned them about, 637 00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:45,000 Speaker 1: Like wow, you know that's why we're filming here as 638 00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:50,480 Speaker 1: an aggressive goose, but they're just lifting me down. And 639 00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:51,680 Speaker 1: then I remember it was a story a couple of 640 00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:54,399 Speaker 1: years ago of like these geese that were at this 641 00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:57,240 Speaker 1: nursing home and then they were causing all kinds of trouble. 642 00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:03,000 Speaker 1: So right, I'm telling you. I'm telling you they're not 643 00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,520 Speaker 1: messing around. The only and the only thing worse than 644 00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:10,680 Speaker 1: geese is swans. This is what I've heard a lot 645 00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:13,279 Speaker 1: of people. It's a surprising number of people, i should say, 646 00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,400 Speaker 1: in my life, have a story about a swan like 647 00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:17,760 Speaker 1: grabbing their pants, like and trying to drag them somewhere 648 00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:22,520 Speaker 1: or something. Yeah, they mean business and like, especially especially 649 00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:24,879 Speaker 1: when you're a child, Like I mean, swans are big. 650 00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:29,440 Speaker 1: Swans are bigger than you expect, and like, I've definitely 651 00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:34,840 Speaker 1: gotten into a fight with a swan. The swan outweighed 652 00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:40,880 Speaker 1: me and it one really hard.
