Hi everyone, we won't be releasing an episode this week, but we're working on something really exciting, and we want your help and input on it.
Origins of Food Names
00:00:13
Speaker
Have you ever thought about the names behind the dishes you're eating? Probably not, but there are so many foods whose names are not simple descriptions of what you're eating.
Exploring Food Names and Regional History
00:00:21
