This week Tash and Vicki are separating fact from folklore — and a few sacred cows are not making it out alive.

From whether your eggs actually need the fridge (short answer: yes, but not for the reason Americans think) to the five second rule, oil in pasta water, and the enduring belief that red wine is basically medicine — they're working through the food and drink myths that somehow became received wisdom.

Tash also takes aim at cold-pressed juice, explains exactly why ice cold beer is robbing you of flavour, and delivers the bad news about James Bond's martini order. Vicki, meanwhile, has strong feelings about pasta water, sushi safety, and the startling number of people who think freezing food kills bacteria.

It's myth-busting with excellent tangents, a cameo from Genghis Khan, and absolutely no hallucinating green fairies.
