Pickles and Pie Holes: The Secret History of Food Words

Grant Barrett and Martha Barnette, hosts of the radio show “A Way
With Words,” join us to explore the language of food. They
discuss why some restaurant servers ask “Will you be wanting
anything else?”—instead of simply “Do you want anything else?”
And they explain phrases that seemingly don’t make a lot of
sense, such as “in a pickle.” Plus, master spice blender Lior Lev
Sercarz teaches us how to transform a meal using spices; we learn
the step-by-step rules to perfect curry; and Adam Gopnik ponders
climate change and the future of wine.
