00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:10,719
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to Savor production of I Heart Radio.

2
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: I'm Annie Reese and I'm Lauren Vogelbaum, and today we

3
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 1: have an episode for you about bunt cake pans. Yes,

4
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: that's right, you heard correctly, which is a fun one.

5
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 1: It's a fun one. Um. I don't often eat bunt

6
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: cake or cake in general. And you can see our

7
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: cake versus Pie episode on Richard Blaze's podcast Food Court.

8
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,959
Speaker 1: For my very strong opinions about that. Oh yeah, very

9
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: very strong, very strong. Indeed, Yes, I have preferences. Um,

10
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: but I do have some really fond bunt cake memories. Yeah.

11
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: I had a good friend in high school whose grandmother

12
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 1: used to make a boozy as hell rum bunt cake

13
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: that was delicious, so good. Um, and one of my

14
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: best friends and well should we were. We've known each

15
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: other since we were four. She she lived next to

16
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: me growing up, and on one of her birthdays in

17
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: middle school, we had a snow day, snow like legitimate

18
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: snow on the ground, sticking snowing, because a lot of

19
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,839
Speaker 1: times in Georgia snow day can be in my snow

20
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: snow Okay, yes, And I was determined to really do

21
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: her birthday up so I made a bunch of her

22
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: favorite things, including this rainbow bunt cake. Yes. But also

23
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 1: this is when I tried and succeeded and using the

24
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: infamous home alone defense while sludding, which is, if you

25
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: don't know, I built we had this deck and it

26
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: had these steep stairs and then a downhill and then

27
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: a rock wall ramp and then you'd go down the stairs.

28
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: I built a rampet of snow. You go down the stairs,

29
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: and then you hit the hill, and then I built

30
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: another ramp so you'd go over the rock wall. Oh no, yes,

31
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: sounds extremely garious. Oh it was. And I told my

32
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: parents and they're like, well, you don't think you should

33
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: do this, Annie, I said, he did it at home Alone. Pause,

34
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: all right, didn't they see that movie? That movie was

35
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: really like physics shoddy? What how dare you questioned the

36
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: accuracy and science of Home Alone. I know that they

37
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: did it. Like I know for a fact, if I

38
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: touched something exposed myself to electricity, my skeleton will become visible.

39
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: Any any one of those pranks would have killed a

40
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: human person. Well, I tried and succeeded in It's one

41
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: of my great great successes in life that the tale

42
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: and it was so fun. Um. Also, she my friend

43
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 1: I was building this ramp and she took a video

44
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: of herself like talking like the Hulk, and she threw

45
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: this huge snowball at the back of my head and

46
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: I did the most like dramatic whoa fall with the

47
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: really undignified shout. And I still have the video and

48
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 1: it's a beloved memory of mine. That's that's gorgeous. I

49
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 1: love it. It was quite quite great. It was hilarious.

50
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: But yes, punt cake. I also went to a party

51
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 1: a few years back where they served mini bunk cakes

52
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: from a local place and that was I've never seen

53
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: that before, but it was really nice. Yeah, and for

54
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: some reason, I own a bunt cake pan. I can't

55
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: recall why or how it looks new. Um, I have

56
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: used it to make my famous exploding volcano. Oh yeah,

57
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: it sounds like a really like not dangerous but living

58
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: on the wild side party here with my sledding and

59
00:03:53,360 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: my cakes. M hmm, think about that later. It does.

60
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: I think it does say something about you, but not

61
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: something bad. You know. That is that is an acceptable

62
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: type of danger. That's fun danger, Yes, only fun danger here. Yeah. Uh,

63
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: I don't have any danger stories some fun cakes sprise. Yeah,

64
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,559
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't have a great deal of bunk

65
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: cake experience in my past. It wasn't a type of

66
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: cake that um, that was made in my family very often. Um,

67
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: if we were going to do something like a pound cake,

68
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 1: it was going to be in like a like a

69
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: normal red loaf tin. Um. But but I yeah, they're

70
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:53,679
Speaker 1: they're pretty. I like them. And I do have this

71
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: this this piece of Nordic weare bakeware that's it's shaped

72
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: like a like an octopus in this ce scape and

73
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: it's really intricate and gorgeous, given to me my my,

74
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: my dear friend Julianna. And I have never made anything

75
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: with it because I am so intimidated by the thought

76
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: of trying to deepen a cake from this gorgeous sculptural artwork.

77
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 1: That's fair that that moment of deep panning it can

78
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: be very very full of tension. Yeah, and it can

79
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: go quite wrong. I even before cooking shows were a thing,

80
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: I felt like I was on a cooking competition show

81
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: every time. Every time. I didn't have a word for that,

82
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 1: until you know, top Chef or whatever, mm hmm. I

83
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 1: was like, oh no, oh no, a little pressure so poorly. Uh. Um.

84
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: National Bunkcake Day is November. We are just about as

85
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: far out from that as we can be. Was intentional

86
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 1: for you, Yeah, doing a November in July thing, That's

87
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: definitely what we're doing. Oh yes, always planned these things. Um,

88
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: I guess that brings us too hot? Question? Sure, butt cakes?

89
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: What are they? Well, the bunk cake is a genre

90
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: of cakes baked in bunt pans, which are shaped like

91
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: a like open topped inner tubes. Uh, like a open

92
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: topped life saver, like like you bust the lid right

93
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: off of a donut. They're they're kind of ring shaped. Yeah.

94
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 1: They have a hole in the center. Tend to be

95
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: deeper in volume than than other pans of a similar

96
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: diameter because of the design of the pan, which gives

97
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: the cake more more surface area. Um, you know you've

98
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: got those two baking edges instead of one. You don't

99
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: have a puddly center that will stay cooler so much longer. Uh. Yeah.

100
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: You can use a fairly dense batter. Cakes in this

101
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: type of and butter cakes, olive oil cakes, sour cream cakes,

102
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. Um. Bump pans can be plain

103
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: rings or can be made with any number of decorative

104
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: shaping and detailing on the bottom and sides of the pan,

105
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: which will be the the top and sides of the

106
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: cake when you turn it out of the pan upside down,

107
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: you know. Um yeah, structural segments or swoops or fluting

108
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: or ridges or floral patterns, et cetera. Um. And that's

109
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: canna be fun because it means if all goes well,

110
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: that the cake is pretty right out of the oven

111
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: and you don't need to do a lot to decorate it.

112
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: If you don't want to, you can just do like

113
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:40,119
Speaker 1: a dusting of powdered sugar, drizzle a glaze, and you're done. Yeah,

114
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: that's been cool seeing uh some of the designs. Yeah right,

115
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, just just really gorgeous, like weird, like

116
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: like swoopy deco looking things. I'm like a whole new

117
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: cake world for me to realize. Uh. Yeah. And they

118
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: can come in side eizes from them from individual right

119
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: sort of like cupcake sized molds like you were talking

120
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: about having seen at that one party, um, or you know,

121
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: like like normal cake pan diameter molds. They often come

122
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: with nonstick coatings to help you ease that cake out

123
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: in one piece, though you should still butter and flour

124
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: them for best results. Yes. Yes, the bunt pan is

125
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: a proprietary name. Um. It is a brand belonging to

126
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: aforementioned maker, nord A quare Um. The generic term is

127
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: a fluted tube pan, and the flutid part indicates that

128
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: they're they're different from regular tube pans um, which tend

129
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: to be non nonstick. Yeah. Um meant for for leavened

130
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: airy cakes like a like angel food or chiffon um,

131
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: which you want to be able to cling um to

132
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: the sides and climb the pan as as they rise

133
00:08:53,440 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: in the oven like an octopus. Sure, sure, like an

134
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: octopus made of batter. So my Angel food cake climb um.

135
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: That was weird even for me, Like like I'm not

136
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:24,959
Speaker 1: not into it. I'm just saying, oh goodness, um uh.

137
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: And you can you can take advantage of the high

138
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: surface area shape of um tube pans or fluted tube

139
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 1: pans to cook other things like like a like roast chicken,

140
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: roast vegetable stuff like that. Um. Maybe if it were

141
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: me personally, UM, I would keep my like roast chicken

142
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 1: bunt pan and my cake bunt pan separate because you'll

143
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 1: you'll you'll get the best cake release from a pan

144
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: that's free of scratches and that's really well cleaned. And

145
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: I would just I would be concerned. I would have concerns.

146
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: In the words of the offspring, you gotta keep them separating.

147
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: I can imagine like that causing drama at a party

148
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,719
Speaker 1: where I've I've accidentally used somebody's pan they didn't want

149
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: me to use one, And I'm just imagining a situation

150
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: where I'm like putting this roast chicken bunt in a

151
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: in an oven and somebody's like, or you're using the cake,

152
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 1: but chicken disaster. Also, I have seen pictures of aspects yeah,

153
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 1: made in these and they look as glorious and horrifying

154
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: as ever. Yep, yep, yes, but what about the nutrition? Uh,

155
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: cake is a treat. Don't don't eat baking pans again,

156
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: unless you're like the Hulk or some type of entity

157
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: maybe a goat. Yeah, I can't speak to goats. Um,

158
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: I know some things like eat maybe transformers. I don't

159
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 1: know their diet either at all, but you know cats. Sure,

160
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: As a human, I do not recommend that you eat

161
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: an aluminum baking pan. I think that's a fair I'll

162
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: get behind that one. We do have some numbers for you.

163
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: We do. According to Food and Wine, over seventy million

164
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: homes have a bunt cake pan just ready to go.

165
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: The Washington Post reported in nine that two out of

166
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: three American homes are stocked with a bunt cake pan.

167
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,959
Speaker 1: That same Washington Post article reported in that Nordic Wear,

168
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 1: which he has the company behind bunk cake pans, operated

169
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: out of a two d and seventy thousand square foot

170
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: manufacturing center complete with fourteen molding presses, sixteen metal forming presses,

171
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: and six high production coding lines. They have over twelve

172
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: loading docks and are looking to add six more. I

173
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: don't know what that means, but it's sounds impressive. It does.

174
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: And yeah, they sold some ten to fifteen million bunk

175
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 1: pans in the nineties and early two thousand's alone, So wow,

176
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 1: it's a bunch of pans. It's a bunch of bunks.

177
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: And the history of of this pan is quite fascinating.

178
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: It is um and we will get into that as

179
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: soon as we get back from a quick break. For

180
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: a word from our sponsor, and we're back. Thank you sponsor, Yes,

181
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: thank you so cake like confections go back to at

182
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: least Neolithic times, and cultures all over the world have

183
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 1: had iterations of them, though quite different than what most

184
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: of us would probably think of today when we think

185
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: of cake. And I was thinking about the past episodes

186
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: we've done, and I feel like some people would even

187
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: say cake, something like cake goes back to ancient times.

188
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: It's just very basic, uh simple version of it. But yeah,

189
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 1: but levined cake the way that we understand it today

190
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: didn't really happen until gosh, what was that, like the

191
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: seventeen or eighteen hundreds. So yeah, Um, in the early

192
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: written record, the terms for cake and bread were interchangeable,

193
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: so that also adds a layer of confusion. Historians think

194
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: the ancestor of the bunt cake specifically emerged out of

195
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 1: Eastern Europe hundreds of years ago. Um. I didn't really

196
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 1: find corroborating evidence, but I suppose thinking about our episodes

197
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: on bagels and doughnuts, that makes sense. Yeah. Yeah, And

198
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 1: this type of um of like less leavened, denser cake

199
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: would have been what was more common before those modern

200
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 1: Leveners popped up. Um, although you know, East Levening did exist,

201
00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 1: and this is yet another pastry episode that how ties

202
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 1: to a siege on Vienna. I I don't understand how

203
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: many desserts someone in Vienna claims is like tied to

204
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: this one siege. Um, but so supposedly in three after

205
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: the city fought back a siege from the Turkish Empire,

206
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: local bakers made these tall molded victory cakes that were

207
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: meant to evoke turbans and supposedly that was the ancestor

208
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: of the bunt pan. See this seems like I I

209
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: am the type of person that would do this of like, ah,

210
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: here's this event, I shall make twenty items, all of

211
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: them themed. Perhaps no one will get the theme. Ah,

212
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: now you absolutely would. And I know this from personal

213
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: experience playing DND with you. UM any y'all d n

214
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: D A side real quick and he definitely bring themed

215
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: uh food and or beverages to every game of Dungeons

216
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: and Dragons that we play together. And when she's the

217
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: d M, when she's you know, running the game, it

218
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: can be very concerning. Uh Like for example, she she

219
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,119
Speaker 1: brought it. There's a there's a local brewery called Orpheus

220
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: that um that does this beer called All You Get

221
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: is All You Get And she shows up with this,

222
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, no, that doesn't bode well. I

223
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: would be lying if I don't say I enjoy that.

224
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: I think once I bought one that was called like

225
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: the Reaper, and I remember setting it down and everyone

226
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: like looking at it and then looking up at me

227
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: and the fear, the fear in the eyes, like, well,

228
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna drink this, but heck, I don't like it.

229
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: I don't like what this implies. Okay, alright, alright, sorry sorry,

230
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: d n d A side a side back to bunk cakes. Um, alright,

231
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: so so by. By the early eighteen hundreds, UM, no

232
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: matter the ties to a Turkish siege on Vienna, UM,

233
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: pans like this uh tall molded cake pans were We're

234
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: both common household items at their simplest um and fancy

235
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: status symbols at their budget around Germany and other parts

236
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: of Eastern Europe, and often used to make these yes

237
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: yeast riven breakfast cakes or coffee cakes called Google hoof

238
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: or Google hoof from you know, varying varying bits of

239
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: language are fun yeah, Google Google coming from the idea

240
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: of of ovens, of a specific type of oven, Google

241
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: being a type of baked dish in Ashkenazi Jewish culture,

242
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: and um hoop either way being a derivative of a

243
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:06,479
Speaker 1: word for yeast. Ah. Yeah, I love that they were

244
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 1: status symbols at their fanciest. That's great, my pen. Do

245
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 1: you know what kind of cakes I get out of

246
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 1: this pan? Very fancy ones indeed, But what about the

247
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: bunt cake pans specifically? That was actually a more modern invention,

248
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 1: thought to be the creation of H. David Dauquist, Sr.

249
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 1: In nine or nineteen fifty, after returning to Minnesota after

250
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: serving in the Navy during World War Two, he started

251
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: a small company called Northland Aluminum Products along with his brother,

252
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 1: or perhaps his wife Dottie, or both were involved. I think,

253
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: I think, I think yeah, both Yeah. With a little

254
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 1: more than five dollars they got this company going. In

255
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 1: the early days, the pair would make industrial products out

256
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 1: of aluminum in their family basement, the pair here being

257
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: the brothers. On top of this, Duquis started making consumer

258
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 1: pants that he sold via mail order, perhaps largely leaning

259
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: towards Scandinavian baked goods. Uh yeah. So David had a

260
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 1: degree in chemical engineering with a focus and metallurgy, and

261
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: Dotti's family was Danish and so she had grown up

262
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: with treats like a like rosette, which is a sort

263
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 1: of a doughnut made by dipping a shaped mold in

264
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: batter and then into hot oil. UM and a crumb cock,

265
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 1: which are cookies made with a sort of like like

266
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 1: waffle iron type device molded with designs UM and uh.

267
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 1: And stuffed pancakes which are made in pans Uh they

268
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: remind me of like taco yaki pants um with little

269
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: rounded hollows for each pancake. And so yes, based on

270
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 1: that um, they were making some of these types of

271
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: baking pants Yes. And the bunt pan was a request

272
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: um from a group of Jewish women uh Douquas later

273
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: called them very nice ladies who were looking to bake

274
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: up a traditional ring shaped cake called a google hoof. Yes.

275
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: As mentioned earlier, they approached him describing a handmade ceramic

276
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: baking mold that was round and scrolled with a tube

277
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: in the middle to make a dancer cake that was

278
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 1: good for gatherings and parties. This pan that they were

279
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: describing had been inherited by the chapter president's Eastern European grandmother,

280
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 1: and they were looking to get the same thing but

281
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: in metal Dalchist came through creating a loabed, fluted mold

282
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 1: out of heavy cast aluminum. The ladies were reportedly quite

283
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: pleased with it. Yeah yeah, And they apparently intended to

284
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: use the pans to bake cakes for fundraisers for their

285
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: for their for their group, UM, but wound up selling

286
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: the pans too, so much so that Delquist began selling

287
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: them imperfect factory seconds for the cause. Dalquist called his

288
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 1: innovation bund Pan, the T Bund being a German word

289
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 1: meaning bond or alliance, and or the cakes these women

290
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: were describing may have been called bun kuki in um.

291
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 1: He decided to trade market under his Nordic wear baking line. Yeah,

292
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: there's I've I've read different differing versions of the story,

293
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: and it's one of them was that the women were

294
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 1: calling these cakes bund because they were like, yeah, yeah,

295
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: they're alliance cakes. Yeah. A lot of stories buying that,

296
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: also a lot of stories buying this. When and why

297
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: did the T get added to the end, No one

298
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: is quite clear, though some speculated it was Doubtuss way

299
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 1: of differentiating his pan from a pro Nazi group called

300
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:46,439
Speaker 1: the German American Bund. Yeah, others speculate it may have

301
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:51,880
Speaker 1: been a decision based around trademarking. And yes, according to Daubtquis,

302
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 1: the name fluted tupan is the proper term, uh if

303
00:20:56,160 --> 00:21:01,120
Speaker 1: you're not not under his purviews company, and that legally

304
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: only Nordic Wear is allowed to use the bunts in

305
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 1: advertising and selling. Yeah. Yeah. These original pans were sand cast,

306
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 1: which involves creating a single use sand mold by hand

307
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: in order to cast each pan, which was fairly laborious

308
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 1: and uh thus a fairly expensive process. When the product

309
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 1: first debut, there was a small but steadily rising demand

310
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: for it. Um, a lot of it from editors who

311
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,439
Speaker 1: worked for Women's magazine, So they were like taking pictures

312
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: of these pretty cakes, right right, Um, but yeah, but

313
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: sales were low for a long time, so low that

314
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: Nordic Wear considered dropping the line during the nineteen fifties.

315
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 1: They went like a decade before they were profitable at all.

316
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 1: One of the Dlquist's daughters, a woman by the name

317
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: of Linda Jeffrey, once told New York Times magazine that,

318
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: um that even the employees at the plant weren't that

319
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: impressed at first. Quote when the general manager at the

320
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: saw the prototype. He told my father, if you can

321
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: sell that thing, you can sell anything. Well he did,

322
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: so there you go. Yeah, and these low sales numbers

323
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: changed in nineteen sixty six when a bunt cake took

324
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: second place at the seventeenth annual Pillsbury Bake Off. The

325
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 1: winning entry was called Tonnel of Love and it was

326
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 1: a decadent, gooey chocolate dessert. You can find the recipe online. Um.

327
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, dal Quest was getting thousands of orders.

328
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 1: Production of these pans reached about thirty thousand a day.

329
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: It also helped that around the same time he had

330
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 1: improved the design with the lightweight formed aluminum pan. Before

331
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: this invention, about half a million homes in the US

332
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: owned a bunt pan. After that the numbers went way up. Yeah.

333
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 1: I read that Pillsberry got like two hundred thousand letters

334
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: like some looted Chris number of letters UM asking about

335
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: the pan that this amazing dessert had been baked in

336
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: UM and uh yeah, a note on the on the

337
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 1: material science there so UM so formed aluminum pans, which

338
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,159
Speaker 1: is this um innovation in design UM that he had

339
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: made around that time. Those are made by spinning out

340
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 1: and stamping a shape into a solid metal sheet. And um,

341
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: so yeah, they're they're more lightweight and less expensive. Um,

342
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 1: a little bit less crisply detailed around the edges, but

343
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,959
Speaker 1: but still but still a quality pan that you can

344
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:38,919
Speaker 1: get for a low price. Sounds like you're sounds like

345
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 1: an ad right now, Laura, to the quality pan you

346
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,880
Speaker 1: can get for the low low price of just in dollars.

347
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 1: I'm I'm reporting on what I read about it from

348
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:56,400
Speaker 1: to be fair representatives from the Nordic Wear company. Um,

349
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 1: they're not a sponsor of this episode. We just find

350
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: it all interest sting. Uh. Sometime around the seventies or

351
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 1: the eighties, they also revamped their their classic hand molded technique,

352
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 1: switching from sand casting to die casting, which, um, which

353
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 1: involves creating a steel mold that can be used to

354
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: create any number of pans. Um though yeah it is

355
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: still it is still a handmade process. So yet another

356
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 1: factor in this boost in the bunt cake pans sales.

357
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: The Duquis began hosting higher ups from Pillsbury, also not

358
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 1: a sponsor. Um. Both of these companies were located in Minneapolis,

359
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: and of course the du Quist served these higher ups

360
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 1: bunt cake yes, and it's hard not to think that

361
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 1: this didn't at least in part, lead to Pillsbury introducing

362
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,199
Speaker 1: a whole line of Bunt cake mixes with flavors like

363
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 1: black forest, cherry and Chocolate Claire. In some versions of

364
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: the history, the Duques proposed the idea for the mixes

365
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 1: to Pillsbury themselves, using Dotties recipes for some of the

366
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 1: these mixes. Pillsbury partner directly with Nordic Ware to sell

367
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 1: the cake mix packaged with the Bunt cake pan. Yeah,

368
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 1: and the demand was high higher than anticipated. Um, Yeah,

369
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: like you said. Lauren Feelsbury reported that at one point

370
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 1: in nineteen seventies they were getting like two requests for

371
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 1: people they were looking for the pan, but they were

372
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 1: unable to find one. Yes. Um. In nine seven, Pillsbury

373
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 1: retired their line of Bunt cake mixes, citing consumer shifts

374
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 1: towards snack your options and larger family style cakes, perhaps

375
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 1: in response. That same year, Nordic Ware announced their own

376
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 1: line of Bunt gourmet cake mixes. They put out a

377
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 1: Bunt cookbook as well, complete with over two hundred recipes.

378
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 1: Also in a pair of entrepreneurs started up a bakery

379
00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 1: franchise called Nothing bunt Cakes. That's the that's who was

380
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 1: catering that party I was talking about. Oh there you go.

381
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: I think they're Georgia based. Oh really, huh okay cool?

382
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: Uh yeah. And also in the nineteen nineties, uh, Nordic

383
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: Weare started making a bunch of new um designs that

384
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: would boost sales like ah, there's a there's a rose

385
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 1: shaped bunt wreaths and hearts, small kinds of stuff. When

386
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 1: Dalk was died in two thousand five, he was eighty

387
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: six years old and still heading up production of the

388
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: bunt cake pan. Yeah. Interesting guy. He also designed an

389
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 1: early version of the turntables that you use in microwaves

390
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 1: to heat food more evenly way back in, so kept

391
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:46,160
Speaker 1: kept doing the stuff. Um and uh. The Nordic Ware

392
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: family is still run by the Dalquist family, um by

393
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 1: I believe by a grandson whose name is also David.

394
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 1: A bunk cake played a role in the two film

395
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 1: My Big Fat Greek Wedding. I I've not seen this movie,

396
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 1: but from what I read, it's a joke along the

397
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: lines of like cultural misunderstandings, where someone is giving a

398
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 1: bunt cake to someone and this person receiving it is like,

399
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: why is there a hole in my cake? It's missing

400
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 1: cake happened to it. In twenty nineteen, the Norway House

401
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: collaborated with inga riston Nordic Marketplace on the exhibit Nordic

402
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 1: Ware The Art and Science of the Bunt I. It

403
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,679
Speaker 1: sounds like it was a delightful exhibit. They collected stories

404
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 1: from from people to include as part of it. Uh

405
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 1: and yeah. Um. Nordic Ware sales boomed during the pandemic,

406
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: leading the company to make plans to expand their Minnesota factory.

407
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 1: In there is part of it. They're looking to build

408
00:27:51,920 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 1: a bunt cafe. Oh that's exciting. Yeah, bunt cafe. Uh wow,

409
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 1: one day maybe we'll get to go add it to

410
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 1: our field trip. Ye. Ever, growing, it's never getting smaller,

411
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 1: no no, no, no, no no. Uh yeah. This has

412
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: been a fun one, this fun research. Uh. This is, however,

413
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 1: all we have to say about the bunt cake and

414
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 1: the pants today, Yes, for now. But we do have

415
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: some listener mail for you and we're going to get

416
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,199
Speaker 1: into that as soon as we get back from one

417
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:46,719
Speaker 1: more quick break for a word from our sponsor, and

418
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 1: we're back. Thank you sponsor. Yes, thank you, and we're

419
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: back with I could have gone two ways that way,

420
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: or I was gonna do like Ringing the horror movie.

421
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: I feel like the right vibe. I could have done

422
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: a Lord of the Rings thing, and we just did

423
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 1: a Lord of the Rings in our d and d

424
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 1: um yeah yeah, we had to throw a thing into

425
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: a volcano and everything. Yeah, and then you had to

426
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: fight essentially Kylo Wrinn. And then I felt bad about

427
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: it later because some of my opinions came out pheel

428
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: Gil about pict character. It's okay, I don't think. I

429
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 1: don't think you hurt his feelings too hard good. I

430
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: would hate I would hate for that to happen, Emily

431
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: wrote my listener males actually in response to the request

432
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: for a mulberry episode. Who knew this would be the

433
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: reason I write in Annie talked about thinking mulberry is

434
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: being made up like snash berries and really walk in

435
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: the chocolate factory. Also a lot of fun things to say.

436
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: Um continued. We live in Ohio where mulberry trees are plentiful,

437
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: and my husband refers to them as snowsberries. Our kids

438
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: actually believed that's what they're called. I've told them We're

439
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 1: going to have to start using the correct terminology. Are

440
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 1: our children will be at school someday talking trying to

441
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: correct their teacher. Our friends at these berries are snowsberries

442
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 1: and get crazy looks. He has yet to start calling

443
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: them mulberries. And I'm in the minority at our home.

444
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: See that's fun. Um Again, if I was a teacher,

445
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: I might not necessarily know me personally. I'm not saying

446
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: teachers at large, and I might be like snausberries. That

447
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: might be right, Like, all right, anything is possible. It's true, Um,

448
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: April wrote, I was just listening to the Baked Beans

449
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 1: episode and heard you discussing dessert hot sauce. I used

450
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 1: to work with an awesome pastry chef in Jersey who

451
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 1: had a hot sauce business on the side. One of

452
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: the things they make are fruity hot sauces that somehow

453
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: taste like freshly picked fruit that is blazing hot. The

454
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 1: other hot sauces are fantastic as well. My personal favorite

455
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: was the ginger a thousand percent. Check them out Jersey

456
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: barn Fire. Oh yes, I'm into it. I want it.

457
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 1: This is like it's become such a point, a ridiculous point.

458
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 1: Of indecision every day where I'm like, what hot sauce?

459
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 1: Why limit myself to one? So yes, I'm very excited

460
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:49,760
