Spilled Milk
Molly Wizenberg and Matthew Amster-Burton
Every week on Spilled Milk, writers/comedians Molly Wizenberg and Matthew Amster-Burton start with a food-related topic, from apples to winter squash, and run with it as far as they can go—and, regrettably, sometimes further.
Episode 771: Naan
Today we're discussing everyone's favorite misunderstood frat bread as we're partially buried, lit and slapped. After the cameo and before the voice memo, we free flow into some bread droopings and lick the flames to remain radically present and answer the call of the mild, all for you dear LILYs.   Flatbreads & Flavors by Jeffrey Alford, Naomi Duguid Episode 126: Canned Tomatoes Support Spilled Milk Podcast!Molly's SubstackMatthew's Bands: Early to the Airport and Twilight DinersProducer Abby's WebsiteListen to our spinoff show Dire DesiresJoin our reddit Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Episode 769: Boursin
Spread em! Today we survive a Boursin Ambush by leaning into our snooty francophile personas while tasting this creamy, crumbly spread that somehow doesn't scare Matthew... too much. After a quick tech support session we go wild for this coarse taste in a velvety paste as we dodge committee meetings, orgies and Peter Pan. wink wink.   Boursin ad   Support Spilled Milk Podcast!Molly's SubstackMatthew's Bands: Early to the Airport and Twilight DinersProducer Abby's WebsiteListen to our spinoff show Dire DesiresJoin our reddit Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Episode 767: Food Diary 2
Welcome to our annual Pledge Drive Episode where Memory Lane meets Whatcha Snackin'! We pull no shots as we eat like kings and horse girls while dutifully recounting our culinary intake during a typical week in June. We're hopeless, excited and poor as we eat greens in bed, red/yellow lentils and lots of ice cream. Before dropping some surprising news about Producer Abby's future, we spend the day in a car dealership and dream of invitations to fine dining establishments.   SUPPORT the show!

Episode 766: Shortbread
As we drown in crumbs and devour fingers, rounds and Highlanders we realize we're actually sheep in wolves clothing. Luckily, we're saved by WOTSL (Wife of The Show Laurie) who drops by to talk about butter temperature, her time in Scottish Parliament and tea preferences before we get right back to fingers. Eventually, we learn about short's progenitor, commemorative tins and ingredient ratios before a LILY strokes our egos.   Episode 256: Holiday Cookies Episode 467: Holiday Cookies 2: The Sequel Episode 474: Holiday Cookies 3 Murphy's Romance Yorkshire Gold Tea Crumbs by Ben Mims Pure Dessert by Alice Medrich Support Spilled Milk Podcast!Molly's SubstackMatthew's Bands: Early to the Airport and Twilight DinersProducer Abby's WebsiteListen to our spinoff show Dire DesiresJoin our reddit Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Episode 765: Pocari Sweat
Today M and M taste unnervingly white water while recounting uncomfortable memories. Naturally they solicit compliments and break into song, but before that they try these challenging yet popular electrolyte replacements and yearn for the taste of first love with a front of mouth sweetness. Sweat and piss not included but, be warned, you will get pumped.

It's on! Grab your striped shirt, beret and bike as we discuss the story of this long bread and all its price caps, regulations and thumpings.

Episode 763: Canned Cocktails
Today we get into the fine, the bad and the very bad as we personally eat canned cocktails. Though we wish someone else would have bought these for us and that we were on a boat or at least in the San Jose airport, we shake, stir and sip on the fast track to getting hammered. With a dash of corporate history and a crusade garnish, we discuss Ad Boys and Betty Curtains before praising Producer Abby's life choices.   Straightaway Cocktails TipTop Cocktails DrinkForth Smithsonian Magazine article Episode 742: Iodized Salt Episode 219: Ham and Cheese Support Spilled Milk Podcast!Molly's SubstackMatthew's Bands: Early to the Airport and Twilight DinersProducer Abby's WebsiteListen to our spinoff show Dire DesiresJoin our reddit Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Episode 762: Fresh Fava Beans
Today we barely scratch the surface of these slippery, elusive, high maintenance fresh beans. Whether they be harbinger, outcome or omen, we tentatively enjoy these young and tender little shits as we avoid urinary marathons and perfect our peeling technique. We learn history, botany and biology before deciding on our bean orientations and then finally reveal our favorite flavor duets.   The Italian Country Table by Lynn Rossetto Kasper Support Spilled Milk Podcast!Molly's SubstackMatthew's Bands: Early to the Airport and Twilight DinersProducer Abby's WebsiteListen to our spinoff show Dire DesiresJoin our reddit Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
