Lamb: In Memory of Maccas’ Serious(-ly Bad) Lamb Burger; Cute Sicilian Marzipan Lambs

April 21, 2024 by Emily Naismith

This is a meaty one. Em faces her fear of cooking lamb by buying a mysterious piece of meat and doing a little cooking therapy session (content warning for anyone who’s a little bit meat-squeamish) while Ben for some reason puts sandwiches in a food processor. It’s weird, it’s wild, but don’t worry, there’s a genuinely beautiful Italian dessert piled in here somewhere too.

Beef: Eating The “Masculine” Burger As Big As Your Face 🍔

November 14, 2022 by Emily Naismith

Why is steak and red meat is seen as masculine? To find out, Em constructs a famous burger from the “Dude Food” era out of toasties, McDonalds, some deep-fried treats and a few extra bits and pieces. It’s called The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and it’s… big (and filthy).

Staying on the McDonalds train (what did you expect, wagyu?) Ben explores “pink slime” and whether it’s really in our Big Macs, hot dogs and other meaty treats. Of course, we sample said treats and see if we can taste the “pink piggy goo”.

You can vote for who you found most interesting on Instagram (@ingredipedia). We’ll also share a photos from the recording so you can see the burger we Frankensteined together. Follow Ingredipedia on TikTok too to see us putting together this monster burger.
