Parched and Peckish

Episode 4 is finally landing in your ears. After Episode 3's unusual mix of loosely related drinks and stories we are back on more stable ground in episode 4 where Sam introduces Nate to the Maltese world of food and drink. From pickled cheese to their less than craft traditional brewery. 

Episode 3 - Found Food — Parched & Peckish In Episode 3 we cover the slightly oblique topic of found food. We discuss what is and isn't acceptable when it comes to eating other people's leftovers and that even though Nate states the line over which he wouldn't cross, in his past he has been a willing eater of what Jerry Seinfeld would consider trash. All for good ethical reasons of course.   The clip of Seinfeld where George eats trash!   The infamous "Train Whisky" from Milroy's of Soho.  Here is the Evening Standard Food For London campaign about waste from supermarkets  

The Amaro episode is here. For more details about the Amaro we tasted and the book "Bitter" please go to our website www.parchedandpeckish.com Firstly Apologies for the audio interference which kicks in at about 23 mins. We hope it doesn't affect your enjoyment of the show too much! We taste Amaro Montenegro - Suppliers online at The Drinkshop We tasted the Krauterlikor, Radeberger, Which you can find in Germany - It's always in Airport Duty Free shops. We also taste the wonderful Dispense Amaro from the Asterley Brothers - Currently unavailable but do check their website for updates on the next batch and their upcoming Fernet.  And lastly we tasted the powerful, Fernet like, Varnelli Amaro di Erbe Tonico. The book we looked at during the show was Bitter by Jennfier Mclagan available at all good bookshops.

There is a round up of all the best places to eat and drink on the Sam's blog Hungerlust. Lyon Beer Shops Three of the beers were bought in Chope de Lug  A well stocked beer shop in the Old town of Brussels. The Cognac Barrel was bought at the natural wine shop Vins Nature.   Food and Beer is the book by Daniel Burns and Jeppe Jarnit-Bjergso that we had a look through.
