Eat This Newsletter 087 Remember, remember

5 November 2018

  1. The packet says “100% Grated Parmesan Cheese”. What would you expect to be inside? Me too, along with “85–90% of consumers”. But a court disagrees.

  2. Quick follow-up on last issue’s all about noodles. Australians love Asian food, so why doesn’t it win as many awards as Italian?

  3. The (US) Food and Drug Administration’s latest statement on the romaine lettuce E. coli outbreak, as interpreted by The New Food Economy.

  4. Latest use it or lose it story – eat this rare pig. Pilpul of the week: is a pig with an uncloven hoof still unclean?

  5. Fishy news: There are places where even the most sustainable practices possible cannot support all the people who want to fish there.

  6. The Rye Baker reflects on his tour of the Baltics. Maybe next year …

  7. I’m a total sucker for this stuff. Aerial photos reveal the hypnotic geometry of farming.

  8. Fraud in organic farming? I’m shocked, I tell, you. Shocked!

About Eat This Podcast

Eat This Podcast has been going since March 2013. That’s a long time in podcast world. In that time, it has twice been nominated for a James Beard Award, although it remains a labour of love rather than a search for glory.

I am a biologist with a keen interest in food and agriculture. Eat This Podcast allows me to pursue my interests and share what I find.

I owe an immense debt of gratitude to all the guests who agree to be on the show, to the professional broadcasters who trained me, and to the software that allows me to do all this myself.

Subscribe here to get an email for each new episode. Between episodes, Eat This Newsletter brings you a selection of choice items I’ve found.

You will need to confirm your subscription, so look out for that and, maybe, check your spam folder.
