    The Mediterranean dish that proves if it's liquid, you can poach eggs in it. Noah and Louisa meant to talk about that food for an hour and change; the culinary gods had other plans.

    Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate the union between two of the most important foods in global culinary history: picadillo and plantains. Noah and Louisa, neither of them capable of holding their peace (even for a moment), rhapsodize about the results.

    Episode 120: Stuffed Mushrooms
    May 11 2025

    Just as the monsters who will do battle with the gods at Ragnarök were ferried aboard the keratinous Naglfar, this fungal fleet ferries the flavors of cream cheese, scallions, bacon, and breadcrumbs, and more to your felicitous guests. So Noah and Louisa talk about them, using much less disgusting metaphors.
