Episode 769: Boursin

Spread em! Today we survive a Boursin Ambush by leaning into our snooty francophile personas while tasting this creamy, crumbly spread that somehow doesn't scare Matthew... too much. After a quick tech support session we go wild for this coarse taste in a velvety paste as we dodge committee meetings, orgies and Peter Pan. wink wink.   Boursin ad   Support Spilled Milk Podcast!Molly's SubstackMatthew's Bands: Early to the Airport and Twilight DinersProducer Abby's WebsiteListen to our spinoff show Dire DesiresJoin our reddit Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We're jutting out of your headphones today as we eat delicious?? sandwiches and finally answer WOTSL's email.

Welcome to our annual Pledge Drive Episode where Memory Lane meets Whatcha Snackin'! We pull no shots as we eat like kings and horse girls while dutifully recounting our culinary intake during a typical week in June. We're hopeless, excited and poor as we eat greens in bed, red/yellow lentils and lots of ice cream. Before dropping some surprising news about Producer Abby's future, we spend the day in a car dealership and dream of invitations to fine dining establishments.   SUPPORT the show!

As we drown in crumbs and devour fingers, rounds and Highlanders we realize we're actually sheep in wolves clothing. Luckily, we're saved by WOTSL (Wife of The Show Laurie) who drops by to talk about butter temperature, her time in Scottish Parliament and tea preferences before we get right back to fingers. Eventually, we learn about short's progenitor, commemorative tins and ingredient ratios before a LILY strokes our egos.   Episode 256: Holiday Cookies Episode 467: Holiday Cookies 2: The Sequel Episode 474: Holiday Cookies 3 Murphy's Romance Yorkshire Gold Tea Crumbs by Ben Mims Pure Dessert by Alice Medrich Support Spilled Milk Podcast!Molly's SubstackMatthew's Bands: Early to the Airport and Twilight DinersProducer Abby's WebsiteListen to our spinoff show Dire DesiresJoin our reddit Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Today M and M taste unnervingly white water while recounting uncomfortable memories. Naturally they solicit compliments and break into song, but before that they try these challenging yet popular electrolyte replacements and yearn for the taste of first love with a front of mouth sweetness.

It's on! Grab your striped shirt, beret and bike as we discuss the story of this long bread and all its price caps, regulations and thumpings.

Today we get into the fine, the bad and the very bad as we personally eat canned cocktails. Though we wish someone else would have bought these for us and that we were on a boat or at least in the San Jose airport, we shake, stir and sip on the fast track to getting hammered. With a dash of corporate history and a crusade garnish, we discuss Ad Boys and Betty Curtains before praising Producer Abby's life choices.   Straightaway Cocktails TipTop Cocktails DrinkForth Smithsonian Magazine article Episode 742: Iodized Salt Episode 219: Ham and Cheese Support Spilled Milk Podcast!Molly's SubstackMatthew's Bands: Early to the Airport and Twilight DinersProducer Abby's WebsiteListen to our spinoff show Dire DesiresJoin our reddit Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Today we barely scratch the surface of these slippery, elusive, high maintenance fresh beans. Whether they be harbinger, outcome or omen, we tentatively enjoy these young and tender little shits as we avoid urinary marathons and perfect our peeling technique. We learn history, botany and biology before deciding on our bean orientations and then finally reveal our favorite flavor duets.   The Italian Country Table by Lynn Rossetto Kasper Support Spilled Milk Podcast!Molly's SubstackMatthew's Bands: Early to the Airport and Twilight DinersProducer Abby's WebsiteListen to our spinoff show Dire DesiresJoin our reddit Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Come on over for some soup! We're hanging verbs and gratinating as we serve a spoonful of broth in a lion's head tureen. Predictably, Molly shares her experience tasting this French soup in France and Matthew recounts tales of spicy onions, clingy cheese and pervasive eggs. Finally, we wonder at the ideal broth to onion ratio, the origins of Mario and taste of making out. Presto!
