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.

✨Tim Tams: How to Eat Cheese Tim Tams; A New Tim Tam Slam

You know the salad we mean. It was everywhere in the early 2010s! We find out if it was actually good and why it graced every Christmas and BBQ table for a good decade there. Plus: are pomegranates worth the effort and inevitable kitchen stains? Ben explores pomegranate’s darker, stickier side and investigates whether adding pomegranate to beer is a stroke of genius or something you should never ever do again.

👻Pomegranate: The salad that haunted every BBQ & are they worth the effort?😫

If a single drop of water never passed your lips throughout the '80s and '90s, you will relate to this 'Coola'-flavoured episode. Ben tells tales from his childhood in the battleground that is junior spot and Em makes a more 'adult' version of cordial with (SHOCK HORROR)... real fruit.

😰Cordial: Did it keep us alive as kids? Plus, what the hell is a 'shrub'?🍹

Warning: in this episode we play a snippet from the very first episode of Ingredipedia back in 2015 and... eeek. It's a bit cringe, but there's a rhyme and reason ok!? It's because 'pickles' was our first ever episode topic and we feel like so much has changed in the pickle world since then... it's high time we did a pickle sequel. 

So, how did pickles go from burger afterthought to full-blown personality trait? In our first ever ingredient sequel, we unpack how pickles became Gen Z’s avocado -- from fashion statements to elite sport hydration and the cult of the McDonald’s pickle.
