Who knew these pale pink sticks were so polarising?! Not us, until we researched them in detail for a whole week. Let's head to the milk bar and deep dive into rosewater's trashy sister.

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.

Sure, it's the most mocked leafy green but does it have a secret treat lurking within it? And why are we suddenly gnawing a head of lettuce like an apple? And yes, we do a while experiment on hydration, pondering whether iceberg lettuce can replace our drink bottles. 

If you'd like to see the original 'trash man' salad mentioned in the episode here's the link.

Ah, supermarket Mud Cake. $6 of sugar and regret. But what happens if you should present one to Emily for an office birthday? (Hint: BEWARE). Meanwhile, what does supermarket Mud Cake have to with Easter? And are the big chains even trying any more?
