Words Unravelled with RobWords and Jess Zafarris

Do "vegetables" technically exist? | FOOD WORDS


Listen Later

In this episode of Words Unravelled, Rob and Jess explore the delicious origins of our words for foods. They delve into the etymology of "dinner", "lunch" and all manner of mealtime, and ask whether "vegetables" technically even exist. As usual, there are one or two saucy stories to be told too (wait 'til you hear what "vanilla" actually means...).
