In this episode of Deep Dish, we take you all the way back to Ancient Rome where everybody’s favorite jiggly custard dessert, flan, was first created! Go on a mystical flan journey that spans several millenia, multiple civilizations collapsing, and all leading up to Japan creating versions of the dish that are larger than your face!

Highlights

• Flan has a lot of different names! And as usual, Britain gets it wrong.
  
• Boobs. Loooots and lots of boob references in an episode about one of the bounciest desserts in the world.
  
• The original recipes for flan kinda suck. They contained olive oil. And that wasn’t even the worst ingredient.
  
• Flan is a surprisingly international food! There’s SO many variations of it out there, and so many ways to serve and eat it.
  
• A very special edition of Shitty Old Recipes takes place, where, in the spirit of jiggly jiggly flan, we look through some old Jell-o mold abominations from the 1960s. They’re uh, they’re pretty bad.

Episode 19: Off Topic! Super Bowl Foods By State! – Deep Dish: Twisted Food History!

In this off-topic episode of Deep Dish, we look at another Google Trends map which shows some interesting search results from different U.S. states related to what kinda Super Bowl foods they're looking to make! After this, we tear apart an op-ed written by possibly the richest, most spoiled douchebag on Planet Earth, who published an entire article complaining that his vacation to Hawaii, in the middle of a pandemic, had to be cancelled. We finish up with a mind-boggling edition of Shitty Old Recipes which makes up for its short ingredient list by being truly confusing.
