Indonesia!
Jul 5, 202101:09:59Tap to summarizeWe're *really* pushing it by trying to cram all of Indonesia's deliciousness into an hour long episode. But we tried. With staples like satay and nasi goreng to the definition of Fresh, Gado Gado, Indonesia is bursting with flavours that are familiar and exciting at the same time. Dig in!

Hong Kong!
Jun 7, 202101:07:48Tap to summarizeHow could H be anything but our beloved and precious Hong Kong. It doesn't hurt that Hong Kong is one of the richest food cities in the world. So much to talk about. Dim sum, roast goose, milk tea, and much more. A delicious episode all round.

Guatemala!
May 24, 202101:05:41Tap to summarizeWe open with a bang on this one, you don't want to miss it. A reasonably mysterious and uncharted country for most of us, Guatemala is complex but hugely important in food history. Home to one of the most enduring foods ever created by human hands, Guatemala is a truly fascinating country.

Finland!
May 10, 202101:00:04Tap to summarize"Finland, Finland, Finland. The country where I like to be. Pony trekking or camping...or just watching TV." What more needs to be said about Finland that hasn't already been said by Monty Python? Lots, actually. Like drinking hallucinogenic reindeer piss. Intrigued? Have a listen...

Ethiopia!
Apr 14, 202101:09:28Tap to summarizeOur first African episode of the new season, and what a great introduction to the continent. Ethiopia is fascinating on just about every level, especially its food. A lot of misconceptions to clear up to start with but then we dive into the deliciousness of Ethiopian cuisine, some etiquette, and we spend time on the delights of Ethiopian homebrew.

Dubai!
Mar 22, 202101:03:11Tap to summarizeOk yes we're cheating a little bit with this one but Dubai's larger-than-life persona can reasonably warrant its own episode, especially when you hear what deliciousness can be found there. A complex and layered place, Dubai is a magnet for local, regional, and international foods of every shape and size. Also you get to hear Will try to say "cheers" in Arabic. That alone is worth a listen.

Croatia!

Blessed with hundreds of miles of coastline, productive arable land, and generations of food production prowess, Croatia is home to some of the best food in the world. AND WE'RE GOING TO EAT ALL OF IT!

Belgium!
Feb 22, 202101:00:03Tap to summarizeFor a country that hasn't existed (at least officially) for very long, Belgium has made a massive contribution to our global kitchen. Beer, fries, chocolate, waffles and more...pound for pound, Belgium is bringing a lot to the table. (Get it? Table? Food? Brilliant.)

Australia!
Feb 8, 202101:00:07Tap to summarizeA pint of Fosters and a Bloomin' Onion, right? WRONG. So many stereotypes, so many hidden gems. Australia is packed with great food inspired by its incredibly diverse population. Dive in and bust some food myths about the Land Down Under.

We're Back!
Jan 26, 202101:00:03Tap to summarizeWe're going to pretend like 2020 didn't happen. So it's only been 3 months since our last episode, not 15 (!). But a lot has changed in those intervening months and we're excited to be back in the saddle. A new season brings a new format. Check out the episode to learn more about this all-new trip through the culinary alphabet.
