Prepare yourselves for bombshells and confessions in this episode. We will ensure you never look at chicken salt the same way again (don’t worry, we won’t ruin it) and share some secret opinions regarding the superior Twisties flavour. Unfortunately Em and Ben both dabbled in canned chicken in this episode (but it was Ben’s turn to make something truly horrific). We also delve into the Red Rooster conspiracy theory about whether they actually have any customers and take you on a world tour of fried chicken. 

Follow along on Instagram or TikTok to see the unhinged visuals of what we mention on the show.

This episode includes audio from @jay.chabz and @redrooster via TikTok.

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.

M&M'S trauma dump

Wild varieties and what to avoid

Hot tip: There’s an M&M’S variety in supermarkets at the moment that will leave you very disappointed. And yes, lie down on the couch because we have some M&M’S related trauma to unpack.
