Dietary Requirements is The Spinoff’s monthly podcast in which we eat, drink and talk about it too, with special thanks to Freedom Farms and Fine Wine Delivery Co.

This month on Dietary Requirements, we are joined in the studio by an extremely special guest: Rosemary Mount (nee Dempsey), the legend who invented Kiwi onion dip. She shares some technical tips for nailing this national delicacy every time you make it, answers fans' questions and weighs in on a conundrum for the ages: are bay leaves bullshit? Meanwhile, the pod is gatecrashed by a surprise not-so-VIP guest with a connection to Rosemary's story, we chow down on Simon's cassoulet and, of course, Kiwi onion dip, made under the tutelage of its creator.
