The Slayer of Monsters: The History of Garlic


Listen Later

In this episode our host, Simon Majumdar, shares things you didn't know you didn't know about that most polarising of ingredients, garlic. It is an ingredient that fuelled the building of the pyramids and was later believed to help ward off the plague. And yet, it was also an ingredient whose smell could have you refused entry to ancient temples and received withering words from the great bard, William Shakespeare himself. So come with us and find out the true history of garlic.
