Gastrocast #6

Gastrocast #6 is here. A little different format, but still long. . . . I talk about Food Contamination, CSAs–Community Supported Agriculture groups, and make Mango Sorbet and a prawn dish.

Here are links to two podcasts I mention:

Tinkoff Radio

The Tartan Podcast

The BBC Article on Food Contamination that got me going.

Link to an article about CSA and how to find one near you.

I hope you enjoy this. Be sure to leave me feedback at podchef AT gmail DOT com.

Thanks again to The Kitchen Garden Company and podcasters Lloyd Davis and Bicyclemark

The Skypes

So, I’ve had Skype up and running for a few weeks. Nothing. This moring I am plauged with Chinese visitors. Not knowing who they were by their call-names I assumed they were adoring fans of the Podchef ;-}

Instead I have been the target of a peoples systematic attempt to hone thier vocabulary. Worse yet I am trying to edit the next Gastrocast. I’ve tried to turn the discussion around to typical favorite, traditional Chinese dishes but beyond saying how prowd they are about their regional cuisine I am making no inroads. How do you politely shake off Chinese Skypers practicing their English without causing an international incidient? Ah, the wonders of technology. I suppose I should be recording the whole thing, but I wasn’t prepared for it. Ah. . . .
