Listen "all this art is making me hungry"
Episode Synopsis
Are you hungry for a mouthwatering deep-dive into art and food with Abi and Liz? From Caravaggio’s wild artichoke story to luxury strawberries and today’s obsession with posting fancy meals online, this episode is all about the highs, lows, and occasional messiness behind what we eat and how we show it off. If you’ve ever wondered why artists paint rotting fruit, why people decorate pastries like works of art, or why watching someone eat can feel a bit over the top, this episode is a delicious listen you won’t want to miss.
