Can’t stop thinking about food and sex and sexuality and gender roles? Neither could I after we recorded! Here are a few things I stumbled across that I found interesting:
“Hey Food Writers, Stop Comparing Food to Women,” by L.V. Anderson. Slate.
“Better Sex Ed Starts With These Food Metaphors,” by Brianna Wellen. The Takeout.
“Why Do Men Grill?” by Jesse Rhodes. Smithsonian Magazine.
Did the episode just make you hungry? Here is my favorite non-meat recipe of the last year, and one of the most decadent carnivorious meals I’ve ever made.
