#17 - Billy's Husband | Hungover, A Bowl Of Ramen, & No Ring

03/11/21 • 41 min

Today is a special episode of Food Is Culture | A Podcast. Of course I’m your host Billy Buttery, and the person joining me today is my husband! Ronin and I obviously share lots of food memories and stories. And although we don’t get into his childhood too much, we both grew up in Toronto and as such share a Toronto Culture.

Ronin made the music for this podcast and edits the episode every week! I was excited to have him on the show and ask for his perspective on a couple of our key food moments. He often likes to say he quiet and doesn’t talk much, although I’ve never really found that to be true about him. As you will hear in the episode we often wonder off course while telling stories.

We talk about our first date, the first meal I made for him, our proposal story, and a couple other fun parties. Spoiler - we often plan food first when hosting a party.
I hope you’ll enjoy this little peak into special moments for me, that of course revolve around food.

Shout outs:

To Santouka - An amazing ramen restaurant, where we got engaged!

To Milagro - always delicious food and amazing service.

And all the Terroni locations - we love them all!

#16 - Cici | Kimchi & All The Side Dishes

Today's guest was such pleasure to have on the show! A fellow podcaster, her and I share such a passion for food.

I loved my chat with Cici! One half of the Daebak Sisters.

From chatting with her it's clear how passionate she is about Korean food and teaching others about Korean food and culture.

She shares some amazing recipes, we talk about some pantry and fridge staples. With kimchi being the standout star throughout our chat.

Have you tried kimchi? A Korean staple and available at all asian supermarkets it elevates and balances so many dishes.

Cici is a great resource for learning about Korean culture, the link to her podcast is below.

건배 (pronounced Geon bae) is cheers in Korean

Bulgogi (Korean beef dish - literally translates to "fire meat"

Kimchi - traditional Korean side dish of salted and fermented cabbage and a few other ingredients

#18 - Taner Alpa | Mediterranean Dishes & Road Trips Through Champagne

Today’s episode is a gem! By the end of the chat I was hungry and wistful for places I haven’t yet visited. Hearing today’s guest speak of food has inspired me to give eggplant another go (the priest fainted recipe... can’t wait to give to try!), try my hand at making börek, and eagerly planing a trip to the Mediterranean.

Taner Alpaslan is a Turkish Mediterranean man born and raised in Belgium. Hearing him speak of all the wonderful flavours that were everyday cooking in his house will leave your mouth watering! We met years ago and I’ve always admired his style and ease. And he’s a great cook!

As an aside I think it’s funny so many guests say they were a bit embarrassed at their school lunches - his lunches sound like they were amazing! I also love the story about him questioning why other mother’s didn’t speak Turkish at home. It’s a sweet reminder of the innocence of children and how growing up we all assume we are all the same. Which, after speaking with to an ever growing group of people I’ve realized that although our languages, flavours, and appearances maybe different... ultimately we are all the same. Celebrating each other and life through the breaking of bread, taking extra time to prepare special meals and visiting new places to experience the food and flavours of other cultures brings us joy.

I hope you’ll enjoy today’s episode!

Cheers!
