I've always loved spy shows and films. I've equally been obsessed with the food that is displayed in this type of content. I want to know what spies eat, what their budgets are and how they end up choosing to go certain restaurants to execute their spy activity successfully.

Rap and food are buddies and I'm here to discuss their friendship.--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thehungrydiplomat/support Hosted on Acast.

This episode starts with a classic mealtime update , followed by a foolish conversation between two cousins. My cousin Shylie and I engage in a freestyle chat about our favourite foods and why we love them. This episode of The Hungry Diplomat is a bit different than my usual format, as I am just going with the flow, instead of the usual research jargon. It's nice to change it up sometimes!--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thehungrydiplomat/support Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
