Manage episode 300760632 series 2969272
Voodoo dolls? Check. Being banned from the White House, three times? Check. Gelatin stuffed with red peppers and cabbage? Wow, this episode really does have it all. Gummy tells the story of Alice Roosevelt, daughter to outdoorsy President Theodore Roosevelt. Journey through her scandalous life where she is out to prove everyone wrong and be as offensive and off-putting (yet, fun?) as possible.
Then, Jean will take you through the history of gelatin, from its traditional production in 1747 to the horrendous glory days of the Jell-O salad. Buckle up, because we are looking at American history through the wobbly lens of America's Most Favorite Dessert.
