Episode notes
This episode unpacks gastronomy, including the way the concept has evolved in terms of meaning and practices. It also poses the question: Is the holism and complexity of an idea like eco-gastronomy too much for times when socio-political-environmental crises keep us focused on short-term needs? A conversation with Mark Panayiotis Notaras focuses on how an eco-gastronomic social enterprise is working wonders in Timor-Leste, while David and Maxime taste what might be the most important food on the planet. (“important?” hmm…) Finishing things off, author Taras Grescoe responds with wit and wisdom to the Food Questionnaire.
