From The Mouths Of The Poor

This week on LTAC we are diving into the history of frozen food. Freezers are frankly magical things, and today we talk about the story of how locals freezing food in northern Canada and Northern China resulted in us being able to pull anything out of our freezers at any time and eat them like they were picked from the ground only moments before.

This week on LTAC we are diving into the stories and history of food in stadiums. Its lighthearted, its fun, its absolutely not confrontational and maybe that's what we all need on a random Saturday in February when everything seems stressful.

This week we are talking about Chef Boyardee, yeah that's right, chef freaking Boyardee. Because his life was pretty cool and frankly Tim has wanted this episode since the podcast began. 

DISCLAIMER: There is historical audio used of a newsreel in this episode that uses a derogatory word several times when describing the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour. If this offends you we are sorry, history can be messy sometimes

This episode of Lets Talk About Chef is all about the history and story of how a single condiment went from being invented for a French king to being rapped out constantly in hip hop. The story of Grey Poupon is fascinating so strap in 

Also there is a lot of swear words in this episode so we apologize if that offends you.

This episode of Lets Talk About Chef is all about the slightly horrible history of Mac and cheese, and also how Canada has made Kraft dinner its national food. 

We are very aware of the fact the we have talked about Mac and cheese before but quite frankly this is a free show and we thought that telling the real facts about how Thomas Jefferson took credit for a dish that his enslaved chef James Hemmings made for him is worth talking about.

This episode of Lets Talk About Chef is a little different in that it is not really about food or restaurants or chefs or reviewing aspects of Brians culinary life in any way shape or form. It is about the gin craze that almost destroyed London England in the 1700's. 
The Gin Craze was a time when had of Londons population were fully addicted to chugging pints of essentially poison and if you didn't die you were pretty much guaranteed to fight, pass out, steal, kill and sell everything you owned to get more of the stuff.

This episode of Lets Talk About Chef is all about the food we eat and the food we bring to funerals. Its a story of humanity and of celebration and well.........cannibalism, corpse cakes and all the strange yet oddly familiar traditions from around the world. 

This episode does contain descriptions of some funeral practices that may not be suitable for young children or adults that aren't secure enough to understand that the words that come out of Brians mouth can't hurt them. You've been warned,
