Look at That Aspic Fly
Manage episode 262344878 series 2542415
Mirella tries to join an Aspic Appreciation Group. What are Poland's Milk Bars and why don't we have them? What's behind the frenzied seed buying? And how restaurants are monetizing their cellars.
Underground food movements are one of our favourite topics because we love it when people get nerdy about their food. Led by "Jiggle Daddy," one popular Facebook group, “Show Me Your Aspics,” is focused on encasing food in aspic (like gelatin) and appreciating the highest quality jiggles… now we can't look away!
Milk Bars are a uniquely Polish concept. They're federally subsidized restaurants serving simple, wholesome, affordable, often traditional foods. Does this model have merit elsewhere, especially as kitchens are pivoting their services in order to survive the pandemic?
Seed growers can't keep up with demand. Is growing food getting more popular or is this boost thanks to survivalist paranoia?
Finally, how some restaurants are digging into their cellar and offering up remarkable and rare offerings for sale, their "Trophy Bottles."
