Imagine yourself dining with Socrates, Plato, or Pythagoras! What tasty morsels of food accompanied the conversations of these most significant minds in Western philosophy? Now picture yourself as you sat for a symposium with Cicero, or Pliny the Elder or Julius Caesar. The opulent feasts of the decadent Romans! Maybe, you're following Alexander the Great during his military campaigns in Asia for ten years. Conquering the vast Persian empire, while discovering new foods. Or try and picture the richness of fruits and vegetables in the lush Hanging Gardens of Babylon. What foods did our ancestors ate? How did all begin? Who was the first to write a recipe down and why?

An archipelago of more than 7000 islands. Tribes with more than 200 native languages and a population of 112 million people. Philippines is a rich ground to discover some amazing ingredients, some delicious food and ancient indigenous recipes! On this episode I'm relatively quickly touching some of the rarest and fast disappearing native ingredients. The losses are due to industrial products being cheaper and imports of cheap ingredients but also an uncertain climate. Here's the ones I'm touching on this episode: Alingo, Besaang, Buttog aka The Cordillera Native Black pig  Darag Chicken of Panay Island Gumamela leaves Inartem Balayang (Pickled Wild Banana) Kaong vinegar Asin tibuok sa Albur unbroken salt Budbud or Bamboo Salt Tultul Artisanal Sea Salt How the unbroken salt is made: This 'Dinosaur Egg' Is One Of The Rarest Salts In The World | Still Standing | Business Insider: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aY9noX3XOs My recommendation of the week links below: The Ancient Romans relied on a curious object to tell time: a sundial in the shape of an Italian ham; https://newsletter.blogs.wesleyan.edu/2017/01/20/parslowsundial/ Rare Roman “pigs” found in Welsh farm Two “exceptionally rare” Roman pig lead ingots dating back almost 2,000 years have been discovered on farmland in west Wales: https://www.heritagedaily.com/2026/02/rare-roman-pigs-found-in-welsh-farm/157123 A is for Apple podcast: C is for Carbonado, Carrot, and Cabinet Pudding: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/a-is-for-apple-an-encyclopaedia-of-food-drink/id1743840806?i=1000756719333 Enjoy!
