Deep Dish, Twisted Food History! – Episode 11: History of Chicken Tikka Masala!

In this episode of Deep Dish, we head over to India…or…Scotland? and cozy up with some curry, so that we can answer the question of who really invented chicken tikka masala?  Curry has been around for ages, but chicken tikka itself has only been around a few decades! Has the UK finally redeemed itself, culinarily speaking?  You’ll have to listen to find out!

Highlights

  • We revisit some beloved childhood snacks, inspired by our recent purchase of the s’mores lookalike Mallowmars! 
  • We finally cover the rise of a food that DOESN’T correspond to the Industrial Revolution!  
  • PCFG Erik puts on their best British accent to discuss some fine*, traditional British dishes. (*Not fine)
  • The UK loves their curry dishes! So much that they almost laid official legal claim to chicken tikka masala!
  • The introduction of a new segment – Poor Taste!  We take a look at Taco Bell’s newest item, annnd it’s not what you would expect.

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.
