After our Pancake Parlour episode, so many listeners shared their own unhinged Pancake Parlour stories. They were simply too good to not share! In our follow-up episode, we hear what constitutes ‘unreasonable’ use of maple syrup, what a wedding with Pancake Parlour catering was actually like and a few more classic sweet and savoury memories.

Thank you to Lanie, Talia, Jessalyn and Mitch who shared their incredible Pancake Parlour stories for this episode. You’re the best <3

Right at the end you’ll hear a vintage Pancake Parlour ad with some rather questionable (to put it lightly) savoury menu options listed.

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. 



Our beautiful, almost-edible logo by the talented Jess Ramsey.
