On this week's episode, we reminisce on how we didn't really eat butter growing up (we were raised on margarine), but also the history of butter, the science of butter, and the different types of butter there are out there. There's a lot of butter for everyone! We also help out our Food Fight listener as he enters the dating scene again.

On this week's episode, we talk first generally about shellfish, the anatomy and history of different crustaceans, then we get into the lobster specifically and how it rose from a poor man's protein to a rich man's luxury dish. It's an American rags-to-riches tale! We also help out our Food Fight listener battle garlic-induced body odor.

On this week's episode, we get to chat with Nicki Sizemore of From Scratch Fast, all about the food processor. We get into the history of the food processor, the design of the machine, and how we can use it in our home more readily. We learned SO much. Plus, we chatted about all the good food in her cookbook, The Food Processor Family Cookbook, and we're drooling! Head on over to Instagram @hungrysquared for a contest to win one of her cookbooks. Then, we help our Food Fight listener figure out how to vacation with her non-foodie friend.

On this week's episode, we are preparing for Mother's Day, so that means we talk all about brunch. But first, we have a couple of special guests, Catherine of the Gluttonous Geek and Annette from Origami Foodie, who tell us a recipe that reminds them of their mothers and grandmothers. Sharon and Winter then delve into the history of brunch, and how to create a well-designed brunch gathering. We then help a Food Fight listener with how to say thank you to a generous relative.

On this week's episode, we learn all about the history and seed dispersal of avocados. Plus, we go over the Flavor Bible's recommended pairings for the "quiet" avocado flavor, and we delve in deep into the history of ripening rooms for avocados, so that we can impulse buy avocados for our guacamole at the grocery store. We also advocate telling food lies as necessary to our Food Fight listener.
