Want to feast on funny food facts and fables? Or slurp up strange and spicy stories from supermarkets and society? Bite into Australia’s funnest food podcast, Ingredipedia.

Each episode, competitive hosts Emily Naismith (Broadsheet, frankie magazine) and Ben Birchall (3RRR FM’s Breakfasters, Smith Journal) try to serve the most interesting stories about a specific ingredient (say, Tim Tams or chillies) in a bid for your affection. You get to vote for who was the most interesting on Instagram!

It’s fun! It’s lighthearted! It’s largely unhinged! It’s the McDonald’s Happy Meal of the podcast world (but back when you actually got a Cheeseburger and a toy inside).

    Hard shell tacos: iconic or imposter? Em investigates the surprisingly complicated history of crunchy tacos. Meanwhile, Ben makes a tortilla filled with Doritos and gummy bears (yes, really) and shares his deep love for his favourite kitchen gadget which tbh, is pretty impressive. Also, we explain how tortillas have saved lives (well, at least one).

    🐸Which ‘90s Freddo did we bring back from the dead? Plus, Ben's childhood nickname trauma😖
    Jul 6 2025

    We’re diving deep into the murky chocolate waters of Freddo Frog history — from lost flavours of the ’90s to chocolate frog-inspired emotional trauma.

    Em brings back a colourful, much-loved Freddo (kind of), while Ben shares why he used to be called “Freddo Frog” at school and a wild story that links biosecurity and cane toads to the humble Freddo.

    We mentioned Eamon Donnelly's incredible book The Milk Bars Book Volume II: A Sweet History in the episode. It is highly recommended as a must-read!

  • 🫣Kangaroo is my main protein. Am I a monster? Would you eat a McRoo?🦘

    🫣Kangaroo is my main protein. Am I a monster? Would you eat a McRoo?🦘
    Jun 29 2025

    Em makes a shocking confession: a huuuuge portion of the red meat she eats is kangaroo and she feels weird about it. We unpack why eating Australia’s most iconic animal still feels taboo, even though it's iron-rich, sustainable, and weirdly delicious in tacos.

    Also in this episode:
    - Why there’s no McRoo on the Macca’s menu
    - A completely subjective ranking of supermarket kangaroo options
    - Ben’s homemade kangaroo jerky adventures
    - And some light food therapy, obviously

    Recipes mentioned include:
    - Chef Dennis bolognese
    - RecipeTin Eats bolognese
    - Kangaroo jerky

    [1.10] Em’s surprising kangaroo admission
    [8.12] Why isn’t there a McRoo?
    [13.36] Supermarket roo rankings
    [19.40] DIY kangaroo jerky
