Emily is rounding out our Spore-gasbord season with an episode about the mold that brings us a nectar of the gods! There is frankly too much science, but we do cleanse our palates by rolling our eyes at people who will only drink a "dry" wine. Follow us on instagram @pantrystaplespod

This episode actually doesn't have a lot of cheese content until the end (much to Emily's frustration). Marika goes through the basics of pairing wine with food then we taste and go on tangents. Content warning: so many chewing and slurping noises, also a few rogue firework blasts. Follow us on instagram @pantrystaplespod

Emily is back for the conclusion of her series on chocolate, this time to discuss the horrible labour record of Hershey Foods. Not only is their chocolate subpar but so is their commitment to ending child slavery! Follow us on instagram @pantrystaplespod

This week Marika explains why it may have been a good idea to adopt a gluten free diet in Medieval Germany. We're talking about history's number one fungus amongus: Ergot. Things take a darkish turn near the end but what else would you expect from Pantry Staples! Follow us on instagram @pantrystaplespod 

A series within a series! Emily is back this week to describe to us the horrors of Big Chocolate, specifically Nestlé. Sidebars along the way include a stellar martini recipe and Marika's Vogue "What I Eat in a Day" entry. Follow us on instagram @pantrystaplespod

Marika is back on theme this week with more of the wonderful ways that mold and cheese work together to create stinky deliciousness. We talk and TASTE through 6 different types of cheeses: Double and Triple cream Brie, Humboldt Fog, Taleggio, Limburger and Gruyere. Follow along at home for the ultimate Pantry Staples experience. (Content Warning: chewing noises)

This week Emily tells us about the moldy secret behind our favourite sweet treat: chocolate! Along the way we run into racism, loss of agricultural knowledge and environmental destruction. Follow us on instagram @pantrystaplespod

Is that miasma I feel or is this wallpaper making crazy? This week Marika is taking us on a slight detour to talk about white people processing stress through interior design. We also talk about mold, refrigerators and our least favourite chores. Follow us on instagram @pantrystaplespod

It's transportable, it's a superfood, it's not actually a mold... It's algae! This week Emily is taking us all over the world to talk about the incredible edible history of seaweed. Follow us on instagram @pantrystaplespod 

Marika is back with another divisive, smelly food: Truffles! We're getting a little science-y with this one but also lamenting the loss of generational knowledge and seriously urging you to get yourself a truffle lady.
