In the annual Halloween show Dan interviews his aunt Meryl, a 50-something woman who eats sweets like she's five. She uses her dog to score candy and equates animal crackers to cereal. Plus callers debate cereal sans milk.
We mediate a debate between a married couple over whether giving their kids breath mints is the same as giving their kids candy. And a man makes the argument that most foods are better eaten at room temperature.
We compete to each create three dishes using only foods in the Slate office vending machine and only tools in the Slate office kitchen. In the end we create Chuckles gazpacho and Chex Mix salad dressing, and filet a Fig Newton.
We cover the best ways to consume perforated bars like Hershey's and Kit Kats, log-shaped bars like Snickers, and flat bars like Nestle Crunch. Ever break Hershey bar rectangle into Tetris pieces? Which teeth do you use for flat candy bars? And are candy bars better, frozen, fried, or neither? All this and more this week on The Sporkful! Photo: Flickr
Last week we heard Mark's favorite 2011 episode. This week, Dan's favorite of the year, where we talk about the foods of Easter with Win Rosenfeld. Secrets are unmasked about chocolate, candy eggs, bunnies, Terminators and dragons. Photo: Flickr CC / cindy_cinder
