Peptides & The Best Cuisine In The World
Welcome to our new Around The Dinner Table location! We've moved into our new content studio, where we are transitioning to for all things podcast and social media! We jump right in this week with homemade artwork for the podcast room while we seek better sponsorship from our favourite coffee brands. Cherie enlightens us about peptides from the neighbour down the road, unsure about this one but she has assured us they are not illegal. Cam sets us up with the great battle of cuisines, having us unpack what cuisine wins across the globe. As per most our conversations, it's not all straight forward and the cuisine war is still up for debate. Pull up a seat and join us at the table!
