Listen "Fet-a-ccompli: Tariffs and Greece’s big cheese"
Episode Synopsis
As the world mulls the impact and consequences of the tariffs announced by US President Donald Trump on so-called "liberation day", Greece has a very specific concern.The focus of the tariff-related debate in Greece was very much on the fate of feta, Greece's most popular cheese and one of its main agricultural exports to the US and many other parts of the world.What is feta? Why does it hold such a special place in Greek culture? And, why is Greece so keen to protect this particular product?To answer all these questions, we invited Thomas Ntinas to join us in The Agora. Thomas is our show's producer, but he joins us in his capacity as the host of The Delicious Legacy, which is an archaeogastronomical podcast that travels through time to discover recipes and traditions from the past, but also to examine the sociopolitical and economic aspects of food and gastronomy. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
