Turns out there's lots of crimes you can commit against Parmesan cheese... and look, we may need to be locked up after this episode. We deliberate about whether there is a place for the green tub of powdered "Parmesan" in 2023 and make a little snack with it. We also make puffy chips from Parmesan rinds in one-minute flat; investigate what's on the McDonald's menu in Italy; work out how to steal wheels of Parmesan cheese and look into whether Parmesan can ever be grated on top of seafood pasta dishes; and explore the Parmesan-related espresso martini trend.

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.

Sorry in advance. But this episode is more disgusting than delicious. We bring up (almost literally) some 1950s to 1970s ‘recipes’ featuring tinned soup which should never see the light of day. But on the more positive side, Ben cracks a tinned soup conspiracy wide open!
