On this week's episode and on the eve of Halloween, we explore the origin of the pumpkin, from how they were used by the Native Americans to crazy folklore of the Jack-O-Lantern, from Libby's canned pumpkin puree and lastly to how Starbuck's Pumpkin Spice Latte took the world by storm. We then help a Food Fight listener (aka Sharon) deal with making a Red Velvet Cake for an upcoming birthday.

On this week's episode, Winter and Lee have special guests, Leslie and Aaron Galvan of the So This is Love Podcast, to chat with us this week about the basics of eating paleo. They consider themselves "paleo curious" or "paleo-ish", so they go over what you can eat while on paleo, how they adapt recipes to fit their take on paleo, and give their wise advice on paleo and different types of diets. We don't have a Food Fight question, but we do talk about the economics of dining out as a couple.

On this week's episode, we're getting in the mood for Halloween by talking about the history of Halloween, the origin stories of the Tootsie Roll, Candy Corn, and the term Fun Size, and then we learn about why we all get freaked out about tainted Halloween candy. Then we help our Food Fight listener figure out how to deal with all the Halloween candy coming from grandparents.

And we're back! On this week's episode, we talk about the mysterious and prized truffle, the fungus, not the chocolate kind. We talk all about how you find them, why they are so prized, and how to use them. We also sympathize with our Food Fight listener about feeling like a barbarian at fancy dinner parties.
