The Sandwich Factory Ep. 01 Let There Be Bread
Paul Green January 24, 2023
Everybody eats…
…and in this podcast, talking with your mouth full isn’t a faux pas.
Here, we examine the links between food and culture, examining how what we eat has the power to shape the destinies of individuals, cultures and nations. In other words, we’re one of those places that examines the “philosophy of food“.
Furthermore, each episode features a different meal. That is to say it will focus on a different intersection between food and culture. We examine this in our modern world, and throughout history.
In this episode…
…Dr. Phil Meckley and Dr. Andrew Bedrous share their thoughts on the origins of mealtimes, the importance of bread, and the beginnings of civilization’s reliance on breaking that bread to come together and build community.
The Sandwich…
Roast beef and cheese on an onion roll. Atop is Romaine lettuce and hothouse tomato. Dressings are Miracle Whip, Inglehofer creamy horseradish and Private Selection Spicy Beer mustard. In addition a pasta salad is on the side.
The Beverage…
Hot tea.Bigelow’s Constant Comment.
In upcoming episodes…
In the future, we’ll examine other food and culture related ideas such as the concept of “comfort food”. Moreover, we’ll take a look at the British concept of “high tea” and what separates it from “low tea” when we take on the relationship between food and social class.
