What do tuna rice slice, Dubai chocolate, and Vegemite with jam have in common? They're all on the menu in this week’s deliciously chaotic episode of The Blunt and the Beautiful.
Kate and Tansy deep-dive into the food trends that shaped generations – from ‘70s pineapple upside-down cake and ‘90s pesto pasta to TikTok’s cucumber salad and the rise (and fall) of sourdough starters. We reminisce on MasterChef mania, cultural cringe around curried sausages, and the undeniable politics of food.
Plus, we're sharing trauma meals, the weirdest combinations we secretly love, and what we’d order for our last meal on Earth. (Spoiler: oysters, fairy cakes, and a chilled Diet Coke do feature.)
This episode is a love letter to the dishes we grew up on, the foods we grew out of, and the ones we’ll never stop craving.
Comment below: What was your trauma meal growing up?What’s the one thing you’ll never eat again?
