Sure, nori and kombu are loaded with nutrients and umami, but are they funny? We can try. While splashing around in the ocean of seaweed humor, we learn how to shop for savory seaweed products, including tsukudani, Korean salted laver, and furikake. That's a funny word, right? www.spilledmilkpodcast.com

Episode 41: Junk Food II
Severed hands, five dirty napkins, and a roll of Hob Nobs. That's what it's come to. We're talking junk food again, and this time, the focus is on England, Australia, and some of their finest delicacies: Mega Monster Munch, Tim Tams, Aero Mint, Cherry Ripe, Picnic, and, yes, Hob Nobs. With special thanks to Nichola and Ella, listeners who sent the care packages that inspired today's episode and gave us yet another excuse for eating dessert for lunch. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com

Episode 39: Meat Sticks
Dusk. A lone boxcar clatters down the tracks. Squint, and you'll see two silhouettes huddled inside. One peels the lid off a tin can; the other rips open a plastic pouch with his teeth. They say grace over the feast of Vienna Sausages and Lit'l Smokies. Forget, for one moment, about the world outside this godforsaken freight car. It's suppertime. We don't know how a boxcar can travel without a locomotive either, so shut up. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com

Episode 38: Crusty Corners
We're reporting live from Crusty Corners, the magical land where crusty, cheesy, bubbly goodness reigns. This was supposed to be a show about macaroni and cheese, but everything went horribly off the rails and devolved into Matthew's makeup tips and Molly's robotic endoskeleton. Recipe: Pasta with Asparagus in a Lemon Cream Sauce. EXPLICIT LANGUAGE. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com

Episode 37: Beans
We know you didn't think it was possible, but this week, we're even more full of beans than usual. (Dried beans, specifically, though we like canned, too.) We're tackling some of life's toughest questions: to soak or not to soak, to salt or not to salt, and what happens to Matthew when he eats happy brownies? We're also spilling the beans about our favorite cooking methods. Hurry up and click "Play" already, before we find a way to work another bean idiom into this description. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com

Episode 36: Butter
We are not Shedding you: this is our richest, creamiest episode yet. It's a Country Crockload of buttery goodness, featuring a rigorous butter taste test and some trenchant observations that will get us banned from Iceland. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com

Episode 35: Scary Food II
Like a zombie rising from your natto bowl, it's Scary Food II, and this time, thanks to listener calls, it's personal. Claire is afraid of lasagna. Jenna had an encounter with an unspeakable Finnish dessert. And Iris loves sukiyaki, except when...well, tune in. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com
