Episode 708: American Cadbury 24.07.2025

Warning! This episode contains a plethora of chewing sounds. Don't say we didn't warn you. We're coming to you today from a bed of rose petals as we taste small swaths of chocolate products and try not to wrong the British spirit. We realize these creme not cream candies are 1000% sugar and are comprised of chunky shapes, juicy squirts and nubbly things then get lyrical once we abandon all hope of...

Episode 707: White Pepper 17.07.2025

It's another peppersode! Just call us The Indistinguishable Professors with Limited Virtues as we push through our rotundone sensitivities to taste these high pitched smells. Molly takes a risk, Matthew can't get it together and Mr. Botany crashes the show before we ask the age old question: what is lop?   Episode 252: Peppercorns Here’s a great blog post from Casa Mascia Apothecary about producin...

Episode 706: Key Lime Pie 10.07.2025

We've always had a 'thing' for KLP so why did it take us 706 episodes to get to it!?

What is this? Why is this? Listen as we draw the line at peanut butter but only after it attacks Matthew.

Episode 703: Yukon Gold Potatoes 19.06.2025

Today we bring you a topic suggested by the Yukon itself. Listen as Matthew undermines Molly at every turn and the phrases 'banana belts' and 'potato sex' appear as The Devil's Potato is discussed even if its not such a hot potato anymore. Then, we encounter a touch of the midday blight before Molly gives Matthew a diseased quiz.   Potato Gatto Support Spilled Milk Podcast! Molly's Substack Matthe...

Episode 702: Tap Water 12.06.2025

Today its Spilled Milk: UNfiltered as we start at the very beginning of memory lane while enjoying a rap water tasting. We get into stupid stuff, science and dreams of linoleum before wondering how wells work and what went into primordial soup. Finally we get way too excited about water and aqueducts, attempt to cheese plate the uncheeseplateable and debate traveling to Buffalo.   Unleaded Podcast...

Episode 701: Morels 05.06.2025

Today we're just a couple of stupid sack fungi who are super metal, afraid of foraging and very Pro-Canada. We discuss non-spooky graveyards, memorize The Canterbury Tales and get ripped off by these delicious Ridges and Pits before learning to avoid festivals and false morels.   morel pasta with cream, parmesan and thyme Matthew's Now but Wow! - Goodnight Tokyo, Atsuhiro Yoshida Support Spilled M...

Episode 699: Pasta Lengths 22.05.2025

Listeners, we all know that a sequel 7 years in the making is better than the original so here we are. Today we leave widths behind as we go to lengths to talk about palindromes, half sleeves, drills and lathes as we declare our nesting qualities and ask ourselves whether we are short or long. Finally Matthew reveals he is a Pasta Prude while Molly shocks us all with her cavalier attitude.   Episo...

Episode 698: Italian Sodas 2 15.05.2025

Turns out we've got another climax in us so we're bringing you a second treatise on Italian Sodas. Molly gets caught pneumatic tube cheating while Matthew attempts a keynote joke as they sip these grown up sodas that still aren't peaty enough for our tastes. Listen, we've been using divining rods to do vibe checks since time immemorial so trust us to know the difference between France and Italy.  ...

Episode 697: Italian Sodas 08.05.2025

Today we're again late to the party by a few decades as we sample the sun dried tomatoes of sweetened beverages. We acknowledge that this episode is rough because no one cares, but no raspberries were harmed in its creation so there's that. After we wonder what Italian Sodas were doing between 1933 and 1982, we end up washed up and thrown out along with some scary goo. Support Spilled Milk Podcast...

Episode 696: Turmeric 01.05.2025

Protect your collars and don't crowd the meatballs because its time for Turmeric Talk!

Molly has a brush with death as we traverse trails, suspension bridges and bakeries while tracking spooky ravens and illusive auroras. We meet the Tallest* Man in Whitehorse and applaud...

Episode 694: Fancy Yogurt Smackdown 17.04.2025

Today we wonder what this topic means as we live that chill yogurt life and talk lots of crock. Since 'creamy, cold and neutral' is acceptable we decide to perplex ourselves instead with questions like 'cow or sheep'? and 'to stir or not to stir?' and 'Larry Who?' before a shocking reveal threatens to unravel everything.   Episode 52: Apples Hidden Jukebox Matthew's Now by Wow: The Holiday with th...

Episode 693: Gruyère 10.04.2025

We're in our cave era as we discuss our foodie memories of these specialty cheeses.

On this solemn day, we long for a return to the classic World's Fair as we dissolve candy floss and address untrustworthy parents. Things get silly nilly with faint flavors on our way to Mount Fire as we taste these stupidly expensive snacks and assign ourselves a mystery to solve before slandering Producer Abby. Be sure to stick around for the post-credits scene.   Fantasy Hike Support Spilled Mi...

Episode 689: Sun-dried Tomatoes 13.03.2025

We are your wildly talented hosts and today we're bringing you back in time as we flail for content and demand that Matthew 'say more' about these darlings to pariahs. We discuss The Mystery of the Disappearance of The Sun-dried Tomato before encountering ancient friends, Princess Buttercup and The Bucket Man. Finally we decide that these are best in small amounts. Kind of like us.   Whatever Happ...

Episode 687: Edamame 27.02.2025

Today we've got yet another edition of "I can't believe we haven't done this already!" as we stroke the furry napes of these bliefly blanched hairy beans and erupt into some spontaneous poetry (citation needed). Our thirst is slaked by prizes, ravens, crows and rooks before we lick our salty fingers and erupt into a spontaneous apology segment.   Episode 11: Peas Edamame by bbno$ and Rich Brian Su...

Episode 686: Marmalade 20.02.2025

Just when you thought we left the jam stands behind. We're going Paddington on this marmalade before going granular on these gloop promoters. Molly is very un-fun and Matthew chokes before we meet Dr. Mustard Crockman and Jam Trashman as we wonder when breakfast began and what is a chef. And yes, Producer Abby did hate that opening.   Matthew's Now but Wow - Shogun Episode 330: Crumpets Support Sp...

Episode 685: Greek Salad 13.02.2025

We're standing tall on the wings of our dreams while Matthew serenades us as we dance with Greek Salad. On our Quest for Seasonal Bounty we encounter Ordinary Zorba the Virgin, escapist fingers, gummy pants and some seriously heretical beliefs about Zeus. Are we historians?   Greek Salad Recipe from Serious Eats Episode 609: Martinis Matthew's Now but Wow! - The Solitary Gourmet (English translati...

Episode 684: Carbonara 06.02.2025

What came first, the baby or the licorice? We're really wanging it today as we fool around with food and ask 'how weird is your mouth'? Through twisted teeth, apocryphal origin stories, vittles and vice we become surprised, interested and loose as we buck tradition and add extra bacon.   Pasta Cacio e Uova (Neapolitan Pasta With Eggs and Cheese) Recipe ramen carbonara Episode 667: Udon Episode 136...
