Your hosts and guest Abi ( @szegfu.bsky.social ) take you on a trip around the world and across time to learn more about George's favourite topic, probably: food!

We discuss having to adapt to a new food culture in real life, like Catelyn and Tyrion as well as Areo Hotah and Ser Arys do in the books, what people eat in the North(s), what spices were found in medieval European kitchens, how to preserve food when you don't have a fridge or an ice cell (or even if you have one), how to recreate Joffrey's wedding feast but make it actually extravagant and how amazing it is to learn Hungarian with curses.

Tell your friends and your favourite chef about this episode, and if you liked what you hear, leave us an oodle of stars and sing an ode about us in a review on your podcast app of choice.

Also, check out our Patreon where we publish exclusive bonus episodes for our beloved patrons: Virginie reads LOTR for the first time, you do not* want to miss it! (*or maybe you do) (up to you!). She has thoughts on foods there, too.
