Why have we (ok, one of us) had an aversion to tinned salmon since the '90s? How do you get that perfect crispy salmon skin? Why are we adding more fish to Maccas burgers? All will be revealed in the salmon episode.

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.

🍔Salmon: Filet-O-Fish upgrade and we bring back salmon patties🐟

Em is riding solo again this week and is in full-spiral mode. Yaaaaay! But the psychological investigations continue with this solo 'Food Therapy' solo session investigating why Em feels nostalgia for ice-cream tub cakes and homebrand chips and what that means?! (She read a unit 1 & 2 psychology text book in year 10 so you know this is legit.) FOOD MEMORIES! CHRONIC ILLNESS! PERSONAL INSIGHTS! YAY! 

We'll be back to our regular ingredient-based Ingredipedia programming soon!

🥲 The nostalgia of nonchalance aka the ice-cream tub cake 🎂 

Are you a generous sharer, or do you also secretly (or unashamedly) want the biggest piece? This is a no-holds-barred exploration of a very ugly side of Emily's personality. It's a slightly different episode this week because it's just Emily! Ranting on her lonesome! Ben and our regular-style episodes will be back soon, but for now we're going full rant mode.

Let us know how you feel about sharing your food on our Instagram (@ingredipedia). 

Thank you for listening <3

🫣Why sharing food brings out my greedy bitch tendencies 🍰 

Also, they're full of lies. We tell you the real story about their origin and argue over whether they're deserving of their place as an Australian classic or whether they're a useless waste of bakery shelf space.
