Em's hectic lamb meat extravaganza

Why Maccas' Doesn't Do Lamb

Cute Sicilian Marzipan Lambs

Ben's sandwich pie

This is a meaty one. Em faces her fear of cooking lamb by buying a mysterious piece of meat and doing a little cooking therapy session (content warning for anyone who’s a little bit meat-squeamish) while Ben for some reason puts sandwiches in a food processor. It’s weird, it’s wild, but don’t worry, there’s a genuinely beautiful Italian dessert piled in here somewhere too.

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.
