Instant noodles are notoriously easy on the wallet and simple to prepare. But why is this affordable staple turning into a luxury item?

Bad Taste - Instant noodles: junk food or delicacy?

For the Culture is a podcast about how food shapes us - and how we shape food. Hosted by food writer Jess Ho, this six-part series explores how migration, memory, and the politics of the plate invite us to rethink what “Australian food” really is. Each episode questions the myth of authenticity and other fictions we feast on. Part cultural critique, part history lesson, and part food tour, the series brings together voices challenging how we see and taste food - asking how they’re doing it "For the Culture."
