  • Palate Cleansers

    Hey everyone!

    Welcome to episode 101! Time for another episode on important basics.  

    Food pairing has been around for a while, but eating or drinking something neutral to reset your tastebuds is a fairly modern concept, relatively speaking.  Let's thank the French for working out how to taste many different drinks without bias from the last drink.

     

    This week, we had these palate cleansers:

     - Soda Water (or Mineral Water)

     - Plain, unsalted crackers

     - A nip of Calvados

     - A tart apple (in this case, a Granny Smith Apple)

     - Lemon Sorbet

     - Japanese Style Pickled Ginger

     

    Thanks for listening!

  • Completely Blind Taste Test (Wine Edition)

    Hey everyone!

    Welcome to episode 100! It's almost been two years, and so we've decided to put our knowledge and experience to the test and try to pick what kind of wine we're drinking.  Spoiler: we didn't do very well, haha.  This was a fun episode to record though, so I think we might do another one of these in the future!  What do you think?

    Thank you for the fun times we've had and here's to many more.

     

    This week, we are drinking mystery drinks.

    Thanks for listening!
