Beetroot wee

Chocolate beetroot cake

Did you survive the great beetroot shortage of 2024? Why do we put tinned beetroot on burgers? Can Ben overcome his baking fear to make a lovely little sweet treat? And most importantly… piss: why does beetroot turn it red?

Weird and interesting food stories and facts.

Ingredipedia

Ingredipedia is a food fight podcast, but instead of burgers and pies, your hosts sling weird and interesting food stories. 



Each episode, Emily Naismith (frankie magazine, Broadsheet) and Ben Birchall (3RRR FM’s Breakfasters, Smith Journal) choose an ingredient (say, maple syrup or tofu) and battle it out over three rounds to see whose facts reign supreme. There are personal stories, extremely unscientific experiments, kitchen failures, rare triumphs and a whole lot of strange facts from the depths of the internet (an uncanny amount related to The Civil War). 



This is a podcast for anyone who loves eating food hosted by two friends who also love eating food. Oh and you get to vote who wins each episode on Instagram, so come and sit with us and pick your favourite (but don’t tell us to our face because we have fragile egos… or at least one of us does).



Our catchy theme music is by Jarrad Brown of Eagle & The Worm.

Plus, does Em still hate black pepper after releasing the pepper episode a few months ago? 

Over the next few weeks we are reheating some of our fave episodes from earlier this year, reheated to perfection while Ben and Em take a mini break from recording. Back with new episodes on Monday January 20. 

This is the most heated Ingredipedia has ever got. Who knew Em and Ben had such strong opposing pepper opinions? There’s also a deep dive into the world’s oldest soft drink Dr Pepper and a multi-faceted exploration of one of the truly great pasta dishes. 

[00:37] Should black pepper be outlawed?
[05:21] Cacio e pepe, two ways
[10:42] WTF is in Dr Pepper?
[15:43] Bring back table-side pepper grinding?

[Re-heated] 🤔Pepper: WTF Is In Dr. Pepper? Why Black Pepper STILL Sucks 😠 

It’s been a big year for Australia’s most unhinged food podcast. To cap it off Ben invites legal action and Emily confesses her anchovy paste habits, all while we recap our fave moments from the past twelve months.

Thank you so much to everyone who has listened to us this year. We love you so much!

End of Year Wrap: Crack Confession & McDonald’s Merch (Plus Fave Holiday Food) 

Of course we mean the Milo Bars that were basically just compacted Milo... so yes, this episode is a choking hazard. We dig up the heaving chocolate graveyard for part four of our special miniseries on the discontinued snacks we want to bring back from the dead.

For all the unhinged visuals of the delicious ice-creams we talk about, make sure you follow @ingredipedia on Instagram or TikTok.
