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.

😫Licorice: Why Is The Salty Kind So Gross? Will It Kill Your Dad?☠️

It's after Christmas... so it's Hot Cross Bun season!

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. 

Hot Cross Bun season is the greatest time of the year. This is a pretty messy episode where we get a little creative with our hot cross bun fillings – Ben goes down the savoury route and Em doubles down on sweetness with the Whittaker’s Choc Cross Bun chocolate block.

[Re-heated] 🙈Hot Cross Buns: Is It Too Early? Can They Be Savoury?🤔

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?

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!
