Break out your favorite cookie cutters and tune into As We Eat Episode 29 as we take on the fabulous origins of two kinds of cutters - one for cookies and the other for cans.

Leigh traces the origins of outline cutters from Germany and The Netherlands to Great Britain and over the seas to the new world.

In this episode, Kim recounts the genesis of canning, and we take a sharp look at the evolution of the tin opener - watch out for jagged edges!
