Our Favorite Dishes - Episode 032: Finding Love Through Dragonfruit (Feat. Shamar)
In preparation for a new season of the Smörgåsbord Podcast, we're reliving some old episodes of the show.
This week, we look back at the time when Angel, Mik and special guest, Shamar, talk about the legendary fruit, dragonfruit.
In today’s episode of Smörgåsbord, Angel, Mik, and special guest, Shamar, talk about Shamar’s favourite food he’s never tried before, dragonfruit! After discovering the mythical powers of dragonfruit, however, we’ve convinced Shamar that the secret to power and love are dragonfruits. At least mythically speaking. Realistically, dragonfruits are born out of cacti and are simply, delicious.
Meanwhile, Angel shares her disdain for papayas, Bianca quietly makes some Scooby Snacks, and Mik talks about his love for blood when eating steaks. The trio also try to challenge Shamar’s friend with a cooking challenge.
