We are wrapping our food up in all the things that you find in that one drawer in your kitchen. We're talking about the history and science and design of aluminum foil, parchment paper, wax paper, and plastic wrap, specifically the Saran Wrap brand. You'll never look at those handy kitchen tools the same again.

We delve into peanuts, how it's harvested and see how George Washington Carver contributed to its popularity in the United States. Then we talk all about peanut butter, who invented it, and popular brands and how to make your own these days. Also, we help our Food Fight listener with her child's upcoming 1st birthday and all the sugars.

If you haven't heard, Heinz's MayoChup is getting a rise out of a lot of people. On this week's minisode, we tackle the brief, but important history of the condiment fry sauce in the United States and how as Utahns, we claim and protect it. We also talk about how other countries couldn't resist mixing up mayonnaise and ketchup together.

Since they're in season, we decided to talk all about berries. Then we discovered, some of the berries that we thought were berries, aren't technically berries. We talk about strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and cranberries. Winter then touched briefly on the berry atropa belladonna, which is from the deadly nightshade family. We then talk about how the Instant Pot is just another cooking method during our Food Fight segment.
