Deep-fried butter! Jello salad! State soils! The subject of this week's episode is the land of the free, home of the brave,  domain of erotic corn-dog eating contests – I refer, of course, to the United States of America. Please enjoy the show, and remember: cooking at home and eating vegetables are unAmerican, unless you’re baking salmon in a dishwasher. <hr> Hosted on Acast.

Fried Jesus | The U.S.A.

Join travel writer Daniel Stables and professional boozehound Charlie Duckworth on a journey through the worlds of food, alcohol, and world culture, examining the strange things we do in our search for meaning through food and drink. In Buddhist and Hindu lore, hungry ghosts are lost souls who stalk the earth seeking in vain to sate their swollen appetites. In the wheel of death and rebirth, the hungry ghosts occupy a lower realm than humans. We think that flatters us. We are all hungry ghosts. These are the lengths that we go to. © Daniel Stables and Charles Duckworth. Original music © Daniel Stables<hr> Hosted on Acast.
