Don't yuck my yum

Don't yuck my yum

This episode, Teia and Cher try not to yuck your yum (or yum your yuck) by discussing how we taste food, whether or not we think we would like some weird foods eaten in history, and the gustatory experience in its full qualitative glory. We apologise for the budget ASMR conducted in this episode - we sincerely hope you don’t mind.

Teia’s word of the day: Slumgullion /slʌmˈɡʌljən/

Noun: a meat stew. [Definition from Merriam-Webster]
