Food: Trauma, TikTok Trends & Our Last Meals
What do tuna rice slice, Dubai chocolate, and Vegemite with jam have in common? They're all on the menu in this week’s deliciously chaotic episode of The Blunt and the Beautiful. Kate and Tansy deep-dive into the food trends that shaped generations – from ‘70s pineapple upside-down cake and ‘90s pesto pasta to TikTok’s cucumber salad and the rise (and fall) of sourdough starters. We reminisce on MasterChef mania, cultural cringe around curried sausages, and the undeniable politics of food. Plus, we're sharing trauma meals, the weirdest combinations we secretly love, and what we’d order for our last meal on Earth. (Spoiler: oysters, fairy cakes, and a chilled Diet Coke do feature.)This episode is a love letter to the dishes we grew up on, the foods we grew out of, and the ones we’ll never stop craving.Comment below: What was your trauma meal growing up?What’s the one thing you’ll never eat again?Timestamps:0:00 – Welcome to the food chat1:30 – '70s dinner parties & grapes in toffee3:00 – The pesto pasta years7:00 – TikTok food trends we tried (and regret)10:45 – Food as resistance, war trauma & cultural bridges17:30 – Our most hated childhood meals24:00 – Weird food combos we secretly love28:30 – What’s your last meal?#TraumaMeals #TikTokFoodTrends #LastMeal #MasterChefAustralia #FoodPolitics #AFL #CurriedSausages #SushiDriveThru #PestoPasta #TunaRiceSlice #SourdoughStarter #BluntAndBeautiful #KateAndTansy #AustralianPodcast #FoodCulture #ComedyPodcast
