this this this this is mythical what’s the best sparkling water the sport crew says they have the answer check out their ranking of the best Sparkling Waters on the market flavored or not how many of you have felt personally victimized by soggy sandwich bread ooh good one I’m adding it to the burn book so if you’re from Africa why are you white that’s a great question this is a hot dog is a sandwich ketchup is a smoothie yeah I put ice in my cereal so what that makes no sense a hot dog is a sandwich a hot dog is a sandwich what Welcome to our podcast a hot dog is a sandwich the show we break down the world’s biggest internet debates and or have retrospectives on our year in fooder just came out of my nose I’m your host Josh Sher and I’m your host Nicole and IED and to answer the first question of the day if I am from Africa why am I white so my family is uh from South Africa which has a terribly racist history Nicole with racialized apartheid um but my family were Jews fleeing persecution from Eastern Europe in the 1800s and they just went where they could so that is why I am both uh White and have um some sort of ancestral heritage from Africa and and what you’re German too oh and I’m well yeah yeah but that’s you know it’s like who well yeah I’m half German I’m actually full-blooded German oh your so your ancestors were ger oh really yeah so my dad side not Dutch no no no no so there’s a lot of Dutch people in South Africa but there are a lot of Portuguese uh there there were a lot of Brits um there were a fair amount of Italians um a lot of Indian people that actually sort of formed a subculture called the cap Malay interesting of Chinese people a lot of Zulus a lot ofas um STIs suus South Africa they call it the rainbow Nation for a reason you know but they call it the rainbow Nation rainbow Nation how many gay people are there how many gay um I don’t know I met a couple of gay dudes in Cape Town they were really nice they bought me drinks but no my uh my my biological grandmother was from Germany and then ended up in German Southwest Africa AKA Namibia I believe I’ve heard that came to South Africa so that Nicole is why I am from Africa and whyatt history and families are complicated what does this have to do with the worst things we ate this year oh it doesn’t but it was a fun quippy little opener but that’s what we’re doing today we are assembling our personal burn book of foods we talked about the best things we ate last year one of my favorite this is an obscure shout out Robert sea of eer New York he does a list of the worst things ate at restaurants every year and he pisses people off wow but it’s such a fun read and I look forward to it all the time so we are going to you’re just such a misanthrope good use of the word are we I like to think that we take a generally positive optimistic view of food here in like an empathetic view right I think I think you definitely have misanthropic qualities yeah and so do I but yours are more Amplified because you speak freely about them I speak about M behind closed doors you do it with the microphone podcast I like to yell it you know yeah oo I’m a white guy with the podcast from Africa and I’m mad um from you’re not from Africa I’m not from Africa my family left in 1974 and I was born here my mom did not have citizenship anyways um she became a citizen like much after I was born Nicole what is wa wait wait you have South African citizenship I don’t think so I I um somebody reached out to me about throwing discus for the South African national team though so I could have done that but then no one’s ever asked me to do anything about the Olympics but now they have a really good have a really good disc star named Gart deer I believe he threw it like Arizona and so I couldn’t do that um also I can barely get up out of a chair without my back hurting I picking The discus back up is a good idea uh Nicole what is one of the worst things you ate this year man should I go should I start off with a bang start off with something so controversial that Nicole Joe Rogan will have to get us on the podcast to talk about it gosh it so I let David Cook once roast his ass listen do I love him more than all the stars in the sky and all he’s Su your for liable when he finally passes the bar it’s fine it’s fine the money will just come back to us right what’s the point um so I’m not saying that David is like bad at cooking he’s just not that good some would call the absence of good bad going on yeah he’s just not like like listen like I cannot like if you ask me like to set up a Roth IRA I don’t know how to do that I’d call you bad with money outright I would say you’re bad with money David knows how to do that okay got like you know what I mean like can I do it sure will it be a little bit uh um badly done maybe but just I’m not good at it like asked me to open a CD I don’t know what a CD is me you know what a CD is compact disc no I don’t know no it’s like it’s like a bank thing like like I I don’t know I don’t know what a CD is but David does and he’s going to do it you know what I mean it’s about like it’s like money in Banks and stuff certificate of deposit I don’t think God dang it oh God I didn’t figure out what to do with you’re also bad with money I know but but so one time I was like you know what let him cook you know let him cook and let him cook I did I did not help even one bit and those are all his fun days and this is what he made it was sliced tofu with sliced egg okay already off to a crappy start cuz tofu is really hard to impart flavor into and then eggplant you know if you don’t salt it and those are two tough things to work with as the exactly exactly he was a little bit you know like a the the Finish Line the the starting line was a little bit screwed up in the beginning and um so he pans seared both of those with salt and pepper fine and then he has seen me add soy sauce at high heat to kind of like do a little like a great technique yeah so he did that and like it got a little sticky and then and then you got to add it at the right time you know yeah yeah plus him and then he shredded a little bit of cabbage and put on top like a little like salad and then just doused it in mayonnaise plain mayonnaise and can I ask how the mayonnaise was we had C Mayo so he squired he he drizzled yeah he was doing like okon like style I guess you can say and then just you know David can’t eat food without something spicy on it so chili crisp was the choice for him yeah question go no I’m sorry well I was going to say the if I were to have had all those ingredients I feel like they would have ended up it would have ended up pretty good that’s something I’d eat yeah it’s not listen it’s it’s not it’s not the wor it’s the worst thing I’ve had yeah it’s like bad like it was bad the way it was made have you ever had somebody make like a mac and cheese and they’re working with the same amount of milk and noodles that you would let me tell you and you eat it and it’s awful yeah the technique was a little off but that’s not to say that he didn’t try and I know he’s listening to this podcast right now and babe I love you but leave the cooking to me yeah yeah David I’m proud of you for getting out there and doing it am my bad wife no I you might be for other reasons I don’t know but not for that you took dude I was here when you took classes on how to be a good wife oh remember that they taught you how to make bread and you like like I’m a professional chef I know how to make bread I don’t need learn how to some teacher my holla didn’t rise because the yeast was dead it’s not because I don’t know how to make bread you remember that no it was it was to teach you Shalom B it which means peace in the home yeah you well you colloquial it as good Jewish wife classes yeah yeah that too that too thanks Dalia shout out to Dalia for teaching me how to be how to impart Shalom B into my household so this is this podcast is the antithesis of Shalom batt yeah literally this is how to be a bad wife I love you babe I’m sorry I’m sorry so that was so that was probably one of the worst things I’ve had I wish I could have tried it um probably would have liked it all of the meals that CU I’ve those are fun little days when I come home and I’m like hey Jules I have a lot to do tonight A lot of the times it’s the night before we do a last meal yeah but but not to say he hasn’t made some good dishes he’s made some good dishes but this podcast isn’t about that no no no this about the bad ones um and I’ll just be and Julie will be like I’ll cook like I’ll do it all and typically it’s some sort of fish and the fish she knows how to work with salmon right she she mixes like miso with like honey and a little bit of butter and like puts it on the salmon and bakes it it’s really nice you know that is a nice com dish with some steamed rice and broccoli that is a perfectly good meal but then if it’s another fish that she doesn’t really know how to work with like we had Cod once and she’s tried to bake it oh Cod releases a ton of moisture and it was just this absolute Cod souit she tried soaking it up with flour cuz she’s like what reduces moisture in cooking flour like she has enough of the bones she’s watched cook food good huh yeah yeah and just anyway that’s not on the list and Julia I love you to death I’m a definitely a bad fiance um I want to call myself out on one of the worst things I made this year and it’s because I had such high hopes for it so I will throw this out there that I was drunker than I thought I would have been and drunker than I should have been I went to a craft beer festival and I took a party bus to get there by the time I got to the first craft beer tent party bus you say I love party buses taking a party bus from Marina del re to Pasadena which for people who don’t know is the bottom left of Los Angeles to the very top right of kind of Los Angeles so you guys a 2our party you guys all met in Marina del re yeah I drove from I literally drove an hour to get on a party bus to go two hours the opposite direction that’s really dumb yeah so we drank um and then we got to the craft beer festival and we continued drinking and then I got home and I was like I have the best ingredients to make a fantastic drunk food and what I came up with I left over zenu pea because I always have leftover P from the rotiss chicken spot I order from and so I made a paa pizza with a bag of chicken mole do you remember when I stole it from the kitchen it was like on an episode of GMM and I was like hey this I do actually a sack of mole that was like fine enough to where I thought it would be good on a p Pizza you tasted it before you took it home uh no but I tasted some of it when I took it home okay and anyways um so it was a mole pita pizza with comp cheese spicy mayo kimchi scallion and Sriracha those are all words we like that’s what I thought this was just like one of the mayonnaise there’s a spicy mayonnaise on there yeah yeah yeah I got the mayonnaise on there um the comp cheese being like this very sort of light and nutty right doesn’t have that salty punch for pizza light nutty comp cheese with the chocolate and cinnamon in the mole with with the probiotic punch of kimchi and then Nicole just like a series of mayonnaise and sauces and it was so much of all the wrong flavors together that even me in quite an inebriated state was was utterly sickened with the food myself the situation it was just terrible I’m sorry and I could have made anything what I literally did is I ate all of it of course but then I was about to say like I ate half it and I was like No Looking Back you just you shoved that thing down but then I waited an hour till I was hungry again and then I just made pea pizzas with like rayo’s tomato sauce and mozzarella how much better was it so oh my God so much better God and I made a little ranchy sauce to dip it in and that made me very happy but I blew so close to the Sun you’re maximalist like Icarus yeah I I I got my maximalist wings burnt off just melted as I plunged into the ocean yeah it sounds like something you eat if you really need to poop probably did that I think all the beers did it too being all the Kirkland lights in the party bus happens shout out Kirkland light official no they’re not um do I need okay is it my turn to say one more yeah yeah okay so this was one that we actually ate on a on an another podcast oh yeah do you do you remember when we did business Wars yeah I told you that was one of the worst things ever had yeah let me tell you so I so Josh and I were pitted against each other to debate Which sandwich chain is better it was either Subway or thank you so much for the interruption you what is it called ragd doll I got a pepper bar what do they call you a sponge monkey chunk sponge monkey sponge monkey yeah local sponge monkey Josh sharer interrupts Nicole um but this one my sandwich of choice why did I pick this sandwich the sandwich I chose was a tuna sandwich with American cheese I might be wrong um pickles extra pepper and chinis lettuce olives no tomato um Southwest Southwest Sauce and sweet onion sauce and it was one of the more disgusting things that I’ve eaten in a long time but let me tell you when I was a kid I loved it but I I don’t really eat Subway that much so me grabbing that sandwich and trying to prove to you MH that Subway was a better sandwich chain was pretty damn embarrassing and I take it back my sandwich was worse than yours but it’s not to say subway is bad Subway if you want you can make like over like what like 37 million combinations with Subway ingredients and you chose sweet onion sauce spicy mayonnaise tuna cheese and olives oh don’t forget the extra pepper and well yeah the pickles and the pepperchinis which are the same thing no they’re not you had triple pickles on there it was Triple pickled I mean they’re pickled let me tell you olives are also pickled do you know what the thing is the thing is I used to be an extra pickles girl on my In-N-Out but now I’m not because it’s too much acid interesting the sandwich was too acidic but also violently sweet from the sugar sauce and too creamy it was everything was wrong with it everything was wrong with it don’t forget like tuna is just mayonnaise right has probably 40% mayonnaise to tuna by weight so you have all that mayonnaise then extra mayonnaise on top yeah disappoin but that’s really big of you to be able to J apologize to me if you just say I’m sorry every every day and every experience just matures me in a direction of more maturity if you could look me in the eyes and say Josh I’m sorry I understand disgusting I don’t think I need to do I think it mean a lot to her listen why would I apologize to you I’m a i to eat it okay unpleasant it wasn’t like it was pretty bad huh it was pretty bad it’s like if you just mix like Diet Coke lemonade and like mint iced tea and you’re like ah like the thing that you do as a child right you’re doing exact you’re running the gamut on the soda fountain and then you’re like this tastes good but then you realize that no that really tastes like vomit yeah it was it was a childhood fave that turned into an adult horror yeah and I have to say I’m glad I experienced it with you same I will not outright apologize for your experience because you could you might have loved it there’s always the shot schoninger sandwich right I’m simultaneously enjoying it and not enjoying it before I put it in my mouth and then I put it in my mouth and I’m find it as the worst combination of ingredients that could have possibly I’m sorry but I made a really convincing argument didn’t I yeah did you win did they did they choose a winner Los business Wars great podcast check out the subway episode yeah um winners losers I think what happened was we we became closer we did as podcast hosts and friends my sandwich had like steak and cheese but it was boring but it was a little dry my sandwich was too crazy and Josh I’m sorry I accept I accept your apologies very big of [Music] you the spork team tried eight White Castle Frozen products including the sliders of course and rank them all from worst to best check out the full ranking on sport.com to find out what White Castle Delights the freezer section holds I got one I got a bad one this is and a lot of this Nicole is on me for I I’ll tell you what you apologize to me that was big I will tell you that in this moment I wish I was more like you because you would have sent this back to the kitchen you would have sent this back to the kitchen because you have self resect in this yes you do and I have none I am overly apologetic I’m like a weeping sycophant over here um just pure and I was at a fancy French beastro the the place where you spend $40 on a freaking hamburger with French fries and people who know the spot know the spot but I’m not going to name it cuz I have dignity but anyways uh they’re serving it with their housemade aoli for the french fries and they serve the aoli and you can just immediately tell that it is utterly broken whoever made this at a French beastro should have been utterly ashamed of themselves and it was one of those moments where and I even tried I dipped my fries in it and I didn’t want to say anything as with Julia’s mom and her in her brother and I wouldn’t want to make a fuss you know sure I I’ve been there where you don’t want to make a fuss was two more drinks in I would have straight up said can you take this back to the chef and ask him if he was happy with it but the a oh you would have said that I would have said that 100% see I would have never ever in my life said that I would just like I’m so sorry do you mind if we can get another aoli please it would have been the same AI they’re making one batch of AI and they screw up nobody how do you know that for sure I bet that what you think they’re making AI at the order no I mean this it was not like brok not like under season not a little bit loose like this was broke this was broke ass peoplea haveen had to pass through at least eyes from somebody doing Expo to the chef to the Sue to K to the waiter whatever saw this and said this is fine to put on somebody’s plate and it is like utterly embarrassing and and I’m not saying that just to crap on restaurants maybe it was maybe the Expo heat was really high and they just left it there no amount of heat could have done what happened to this a wow was it somebody messed this up like hours ago and nobody had the wherewithal to just say hey and they got to do it again they didn’t like immersion blend it or anything they could have tried but sometimes broken is broken right you can’t just immersion blend the thing what I would have done what I would have done and I would have been fine with this because my experience would have been the same I would have told somebody hey we got service in 10 minutes run your ass down to Ralph’s get a thing of mayonnaise we’re going to put garlic dejon and lemon juice in it and we’re going to save this why do all our stories revolve around Main I am a mayonnaise boy oh my gosh there’s so much mayo and everything we’re talking about and everything else and you and I and Nicole we’ve talked about this place this place the burger is one of the best things I’ve ever had in my life Sal you say it’s a little salty I’ve had seasoning issues there too if somebody could control somebody like a like um what’s the French word for like a leader of somebody who can like a chef yeah Chef if there was like a chef to just say that’s right that’s wrong it would just be the food would be so good and I would go there all the time important was this aoli to you so important it was the metaphor it was the metaphor of the aoli see you know how bad it was it was ah brutal the fries are great I don’t even like Sho strings like that you could have had KET di it in I asked for K I got ketchup I wanted a you know what this podcast I love this podcast because we’re learning how we uh communicate like when something goes wrong I stew I stew I sit there and I stew and I let it Fester inside me until it comes out on a learn so much about our our emotions and how we handle them I think I’m a hardcore deflector and I don’t realize until it’s too late uh what else should I talk about oh here’s a great one um I love there’s a little Spanish uh restaurant by my house that I walk to and I love going to this place I go often it’s like me and David like go like read a book a glass of orange wine I don’t read you like scroll through Tik Tok with a glass of orange I don’t have Tik Tok on my phone you scroll through what do you do what do I do if you’re not reading or watching Tik toks it’s 2023 what are you doing I talk to people like face to face I ask them how they are drink wine and ask them how they are they talk back actually people are dying for connection I think they really are no I noticed that they’re foaming at the mouth to just have a human to to talk to them you not I love talking no I’m saying I I’m I’m shaking my head in reverence I love talking to people yeah yeah so I went to so this this little Spanish spot I love it so much adore it but um I went with my girlfriend who is you know she she doesn’t eat any any of the bad stuff you know like Seafoods and porks and stuff like that oh like the she’s kosher yeah yeah and um the Gentile Foods yeah yeah and this and let me tell you I love those Foods a lot I love them all but uh there was this one item on the menu you know it’s a Paya we’re at a Spanish place paa for two sign me up me and my girlfriend we go and and but the best part about the Paya is like the seafood and then also like the sausage you know what I mean pay is a bad dish to eat if your kosher 100% yeah yeah yeah horrible but um you know they of course had a vegan option and we want the vegan option and they wrote in the comments of the restaurant it said can be made with either Seafood stock which is a no chicken stock which is also no or water now I those are not the same I was a little perturbed I’m like why not vegetables stock but they had water as an option and I’m like why water but whatever we ordered it anyways and it was a vegetable P made with water o and it was not good the restaurant itself I love everything is good there their their mrio with Mano is great their binos are great their there their hamon is great I love everything there but this damn vegan paa made me want to rip my hair out and I had to pretend like it was good a little bit so my friend wouldn’t feel bad you know what I mean that’s That’s a classic and this happens in a lot of restaurants a classic case of you shouldn’t have tried to make this vegan you should have made something else yeah you know what I mean yeah yeah yeah and also like I mean I’m sure I’m sure they could have come up with like I don’t know could have been seasoned a little bit differently there could have been throw some Veggie bullion in there baby some chemicals in there yeah veggie make it taste nice veggie broth instead of water up in the salt up in the pepper something but like my friend we saw a good time because who cares what the food’s like we have company right and a nice bottle of red but oh my gosh I it was really disappointing because I’m like pay is great and then we ate it and we’re like this is bad yeah that was pretty disappointing but I will go back to as Spen restaurant all the time because I love it there and I go like once a month on a day I you never take me nowhere man well because you live in Sherman Oaks now Jos come to the valley it’s nice up there there’s parking everywhere come to the West Side GH gross um the west side is not gross I bun of hipster athleisure ass people you wear athleisure every day no I don’t yeah you do what do you I’m wearing jeans and I wear Jorts weird what are you doing wearing Jorts jeans and vans dud I don’t wear out anyways yeah I’m GNA roast myself on this one again um okay so so so so I love shrimps right and I love cooking for people I love hosting little parties yeah I held a party in March for the Eurovision finale and we made a lot I hate Eurovision why it’s the worst show ever it’s a cross between politics pageantry and music it’s incredible it’s the worst thing I’ve ever seen on television

kovats Armenia is also in Europe Vision we had Armenian kovats what’s Kebab Armenian Kebab um had a bunch of Spanish wines we had pims cup from England we had a real gay old time p cup so just like a lure just stop asking questions what do you mean and then Portugal Nicole oh Portugal we made I made gar Al camar Alo is that I don’t know Portuguese anyways I made the garlicky shrimp thing oh yeah yeah and I was in ioli or whatever that one gambas but in Portuguese um I tried to make that and I was Russian and there were a bunch of people and people started coming over and I need to finish the shrimp I was like we’re going to cook it for 2 minutes in the garlic butter boom poured out crusty bread we’re good and I forgot him in there for like 10 minutes and instead of doing not unro no it was like in a pot but I was just trying to toss the rawri oven no I made this just like buttery white wine garlicky sauce and my goal is to put the shrimp in there let them Steam for like 2 minutes and then pour all of that out in the bowl so all the broth was around it and they were perfectly cooked and I left them in there for like 10 minutes oh no and instead of like tossing them I was like well people will still surely eat them because they’re not as sophisticated as me I know these shrimp are over cooked people are dumb and so I took that and I put it in a bowl and it was like 3B of shrimp and they was all ruined and I tried to eat one and they were we had like 50 people there dude it was nuts we were all chanting for Finland we’re like Cha Cha chaa Cha Cha cuz Kara the The Finnish artist Kara he should have won um Loren’s good from Sweden too tattoo is a great song but um I utterly hammered the shrimp and nobody ate them everybody all the chicken Kats were gone you know Brion cre that was gone well Brion crew if I see Brion crew I’m over there preach to the choir oh my God we made veniki from from Ukraine I love V God they were good those were gone and not a single

I’m like okay was like little croissant sandwiches I was like yeah like just stuff and then there was this one cookie it was this one cookie it was advertised as a soft chocolate chip cookie let me tell you nothing about that cookie was soft it was hard as rocks it was harder than table I feel like I’ve had the worst of the worst chocolate chip cookies in the world and they’re still pretty fine it tasted like chalk and and sugar and it was the worst me and David looked at each other like we need to throw this away and then again this is throwing away thing like people just don’t want to throw things away like this should be put in the trash can and putting that in your body does no good for anybody exactly exactly but it was the worst cookie I’ve ever had and do we know the Providence of this cookie where it came from from crafty but no but the crafty surely got these cookies from like a factory.com bro I don’t know damn I don’t know capital capital Foods I don’t know

I never thousands of free I never got better they still like 58% which is like Shack level it’s like Shack level free throws everybody it doesn’t matter how much you PR but everybody knows who Shaq is because of his but so what who cares you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take Wayne Gretzky said that sha missed a lot of free throws all right first opinion his hands are too big for the ball Josh Nicole I desperately need your help what is it little my name is Alexi I’m originally from Texas stuck in a well and I need your help finding what food I had I don’t know what it’s called I don’t know where to get it so in college I would go to a luera and I would always get the sweet fried plantains and they’d serve it with like mushed beans some kind of like re something and like a white Mayo like sauce but that’s like 10 times better than mayo and I tried looking on the internet for what it is and I can’t find it exactly what the is so good so I please mobilize your army of mythical kitchen fans and please tell me what this sauce is so that I can recreate it thank you EST Crema salvadorena what’s that kasik I believe makes a Crema salvadorena is simply a Salvadoran style of cream and the reason you can’t hok like hokok like well no for real like hokok is a very regionally specific type of cremma that is made in Mexico right because I mean El Salvador is obviously it has its its own culture but it’s like a relatively small country in Central America and Mexico is a gigantic country right um that bears a lot of similar history to a very different history in certain ways of course but the point is there’s a lot of regional different styles of various soured creams okay that makes sense I’m G to Google it but um casik makes a lot yeah casik makes Crema salvadorena what’s the difference between this versus like Crema I couldn’t tell you from like a cookery standpoint because like nobody makes their own sour cream out of raw dairy product right yeah um but I agree with you that Salvadoran breakfasts are some of my favorite things there’s a hunk of salty hard cheese on top of very liquidy black beans which I love and then sweet plantains couple fried eggs and then Crema salvadorena just sitting in a puddle and it is so so so good it’s my favorite type of Crema oh great I’ve never tried it before it almost tastes like buttery and salty it is just so good and it’s quite liquidy but also thick like it doesn’t Mound right like American sour cream does yeah um yeah Crema salvadorena dude nice you did it Josh you saved you saved the day y go Josh you did it if if you wanted one of my favorite Salvadoran dishes is um it’s called salpicon Salon Salon it’s this like almost like a pickled cooked beef and radish it’s just a super vinegary chopped beef and radish salad and it’s like refreshing and still mey and Hearty and so good uh absolutely love Salvadoran people what salad I me Salvador food I like salador people too um I always want to get loroko EO Papas but I’m scared of loroko why are you scared of loroko I don’t know what it is loroko is a flower it’s like a Squash Blossom but it’s a Salvadoran thing yeah it’s my favorite papusa I’m going to get it next time yeah I’m going to get it I’m going to get it I still just love me too me too I love Papas in general Nicole Josh love you guys um just wondering when thoughted on these blue zones um I was raised as a seven day Adventist child in the church um and nowadays when I eat normal food I think about huh these people living in them blue zones AKA La Melinda are living till forever should I back to what my um childhood told me to do let me know your thoughts love you bye Nicole do you know what the blue zones are um I know that there’s a Netflix documentary about like their specific zones in like the world where people have lived a long life like they have longer longevity and it’s directly correlated to their diet right that’s at least the working hypothesis they have yeah it start off as a book um it’s one of Julia’s favorite books and and she made me read it and it is really fascinating um a lot of stuff it’s it’s very true I I won’t call it like scientifically dubious but it’s very it’s based on anecdotes right and it’s based on large swaths and regions and various different types of people um but when you’re talking about the Seventh Day Adventist diet I believe it’s vegetarian and I believe it is a lot of like nonprocessed Foods they eat a lot of like nuts and beans and stuff and so many of these similarities in these places are people have active social lives they have Physically Active lives and they like eat a lot of fresh produce nice um yes do that do that I’m reading a fantastic book called uh food politics by Maran Nestle uh Maran Nestle longtime academic and Communicator about food policy issues and also nutrition and one of the things that I would always say is like hey nutrition science seems to be changing all the time and it’s confusing and hard the 80s said low fat is good now people are saying low carb is good y yada uh but Mary and Nestle said something that kind of really messed me up the entirety of human history until like World War II was how do we feed people enough food that was the that was the problem that was nutrition science right it was like people are malnourished and we need people to work in factories and work the Farms we need to feed people more food and then suddenly it became like hey we have a lot of food obviously hunger is still an issue that’s a distribution problem but now we we are suddenly in the weird place in human history where it’s like how do we stop killing ourselves with food um and she said nutrition science hasn’t changed in the last 70 years all we’ve been saying the whole time is eat more fresh produce eat fewer animal products and that’s it all the other stuff is window dring and it’s because media thrives on controversy and new headlines right and so if you’re saying like should I eat less meat and go back to like less processed foods while I live longer I Ain a doctor but like yeah probably that’s been what the science has been saying for So Random it’s where a lot of seventh day Adventists live so crazy so I just I Wikipedi it because naturally and it says Sardinia Italy okanawa prefecture in Japan nikco Peninsula Costa Rica iara Greece and lomalinda yeah I went to the NOA Peninsula I went to papao on my honeymoon ah it was very nice I don’t see a lot of old people though well they they hide them uh but no if you’re like if you’re asking the question should you get more physical exercise have a healthier social life eat more vegetables absolutely do all those things I try to do all those things the problem is my social life revolves around drinking a specific poison oh alcohol bleach yeah alcohol so my healthy social life uh I I think there could be healthier aspects to it should we do a little like BL Blue Zone um like um trip like go to all the blue zones go to all the yeah yeah let’s start with L Linda I think we should start with the okanawa pref fixure just eat a bunch of sweet potatoes yeah I feel like cultures that eat the most sweet potatoes are the healthiest we eat sweet potatoes n not enough on Thanksgiving covered in marshmallows and butter hi so my husband and I are having a heated debate right now he’s a bun over it’s a bowl of cold spinach with nothing on it just plain spinach is a salad if I hear him in the background I’m going to dive laughter I say a salad must have three ingredients to be a salad otherwise it is just ingredient um what say you I’m curious it’s a salad because it’s leafy vegetable in a bowl that you eat as is the macaroni salad is anyway I decided to call the experts in on this to save our marriage thank you bye I’m sorry I said she should divorce I didn’t know you were in the room one two three divorce him oh what oh I didn’t know um what is the question is a bowl of plain spinach a salad with with dressing uh there was no dressing implied it was just literally a bowl of spinach a bowl of spinach eaten with a fork she and she is positing that it needs to be three ingredients IE I agree I agree so I witnessed a cooworker who looking back could have had some disordered eating anyways but they would eat just a bowl of plain kale with straight balsamic vinegar on it as like a lunch and they’d be like I’m eating a salad oh I would look at that and say that’s not a salad at all I mean and that’s two ingredients um but if you literally it you can go back to history if you look at the origin of the word salad right it literally salad meaning salt it was salted vegetables so the condentation of these vegetables I think is intrinsic to Sal Hood right that makes sense so once you put a dressing if you put a dressing on spinach sure that’s a salad right it’s not probably not a great salad I don’t even like raw spinach at all me either unless it’s cut to be a sh it needs to be fin throw it in there but as far as like a main green for a salad no I think my favorite main green is probably just Roma really I love Ro I have Roma in my house 247 give me some dressed butter lettuce man I really love butter lettu but all dressings are too heavy for most dressings are too heavy for butter lettuce it just weighs it down yeah it’s got to be like a light vinegret on a butter lettuce like a Dijon vinegret I think works really well and how often almost like a a fair amount I make Dijon vinat is like most like I probably make a Dion vinegret like two nights a week twice a week which is nine times a month and that’s a fair amount to make Dijon vinet it’s just the easiest it’s like a very plain salad dress we’re a Roma lettuce or kale or baby green uh not baby greens uh Little Gems little yeah they start selling Little Gems in stores those are big three they’re good but yeah just plain finish theable uh decidedly not a salad not a salad divorce has gone through uh yeah the gavl has hit the hope you don’t have kids trust issues for life well that is that what divorce does I don’t know I had to go to court ordered counseling after the divorce and I don’t remember what we did a lot of puzzles in there like is that why you hate puzzles now maybe sorry yeah I don’t know man all it just got deep again well on that note thank you so much for
