概要

 This episode was not sponsored by Greggs. But it begins with a sausage roll! I’m joined by Richard Crampton-Platt (you might know him as @thegreedydick).We talk about chicken rolls and why they disappoint. Raw chicken sushi and what “safe” really means. Why Britain trusts takeaways and Italy doesn’t. Food delivery and what it reveals about how we live. The myth of pizza margherita. Carbonara, cream, and the illusion of authenticity. Food smuggling, migration, and adaptation. And why food feels different from art or music. It starts lightIt turns philosophicalAnd somewhere along the way it becomes about trust. Because food is the one thing we choose to put inside our bodies. And that always says more than we think.Read more on Substack https://substack.com/@dralessandrapinoEmail: acuriousappetite@gmail.comArtwork by @medusazzz Audio by @thedeliciouslegacy Music by @manu_pino_1111 Useful links and referencesRichard Crampton-Platt’s writing, videos and restaurant commentary can be found via The Greedy Dick on Substack and his wider online platforms.
