Latest newsletter — No. 200 🎂 — asks the tough questions. Is breast “truly best”? Should a Big Mac cost #13? Is food too cheap? Chicken or salmon? Is Ezekial bread awful? Turnips or hothouse tomatoes? https://buttondown.email/jeremycherfas/archive/eat-this-newsletter-200/
Jeremy Cherfas

Museum life, looking at the details. Freer.

Very excited for the next episode, which will be live in less than 12 hours.

Catalytic converter theft is something I’ve read about. Never imagined it would happen to me, but it did. A very rude awakening.
Jeremy Cherfas
New episode out, talking to David Zetland about markets as they affect food and water, mostly. https://eatthispodcast.com/speculation
Jeremy Cherfas
OK, time to stop goofing around and get back to editing tomorrow's episode
Jeremy Cherfas
A perfect day to spend most of it in the kitchen with Madhur Jaffrey, cooking up a storm to match the one that’s been raging outside. One down, three to go.

Jeremy Cherfas
World Philosophy Day is on Thursday, so a good opportunity to ask what is required of a good host and a good guest, in this week's episode https://www.eatthispodcast.com/worst-guest/

God I love Sugru. Perfectly fine kettle let down by a flimsy bit of plastic holding the controller in position. Sugru to replace the flimsy plastic, kettle again fine. #sugru

Early morning start for the long, pleasant trip home.
Jeremy Cherfas
Not the most auspicious start; almost an hour delay to departure.

My friend went to #Iceland and brought back this little treat and now I don’t understand why it hasn’t taken over the world.
Jeremy Cherfas
Too late for A Day in the Life, too cute not to share.
Jeremy Cherfas
A Day in the Life at 12:37 in Rome. Just another bus ride.
Jeremy Cherfas
Inside the gazometreo at Rome Maker Faire, but how I wish they had a slot for over 50s only.
Jeremy Cherfas
The wait is over. Hands-down my favourite Madonna Lactans, by Federico Barocci. Funny, no-one ever seems to tell the BVM to cover up, but mortal women get that all the time. https://www.eatthispodcast.com/mothers-milk/ explores all that and more.

I’ve got a dozen or so limes maturing on this bush. Who has a good Indian lime pickle recipe?

We got ourselves a convoy. Navistar leads Polarnet and Rojen, carrying 33,000 12,000 and 13,000 of wheat to Ireland, Turkey and UK. But, why those countries?
Jeremy Cherfas
The worst is over. Razoni has made it past Istanbul, next stop Tripoli.
Jeremy Cherfas
So far, so good. The ship Razoni, loaded with 26,000 tonnes of wheat, is one day out of Odessa.
Jeremy Cherfas
14th century watermelons, from Liber de herbis et plantis by Manfredi de Monte Imperiali. Latin for watermelon is citrullus, but Italian is cocomero or anguria, while cucumber is cetriolo. Confused? I was, till Harry Paris sorted me out a while ago https://www.eatthispodcast.com/a-deep-dive-into-cucurbit-names/

Truly, strelitzia flowers are the weirdest. I would love to see a sunbird sipping from one, but that’s unlikely here.
Jeremy Cherfas
This week’s sourdough is packed with nigella seeds and it smells terrific.

The long wait is over. Good morning, Iris.
