Lindy West: Smorkage and a Six Course Seattle Feast

View descriptionShare

Lindy West is a New York Times best-selling author, including the book Shrill, which was turned into a TV show.

Lindy details a six course last meal feast that features smorkage, a flaky, buttery, custardy Danish pastry only available at a single bakery in the United States. Host Rachel Belle travels to Seattle's Larsen's Bakery to taste the impossible-to-pronounce Danish pastry.

Lindy, a self-described "fat" person, talks about what it's like to eat in public, why she grudgingly orders honeydew, and shares a humiliating story that involves a personal pan pepperoni pizza and an episode of This American Life.

Then things get "hygge!" The Scandinavian concept of coziness, comfortable conviviality, and contentment. Rachel chats with Meik Wiking, CEO of the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen, and food anthropologist Signe Johansen.
