Dying To Eat

You'll find out, with some other things, on this week's episode. #poland #jokes #germany #worldwar  #nazi #hollywood #europe #greatbritain #unitedstates #mariecurrie #chopin #food #recipe #dyingtoeat #scottparish #guyscooktoo

Kit Carson

There was a period, not so long ago, when you could only meet the legends of any era, only through the dime store novels.  Fantastic adventures, now, are a mere click away.  You can find more than a ton of info and/or movies about almost any superhero or villain you love or can imagine.   Let's explore the life and times of a real western frontiersman who brought those pages to life... Let's talk about Kit Carson, over a piping hot bowl of chili, on this week's episode. #dyingtoeat #west #western #history #oldwest #campfire #cowboy #boothill #unitedstates #oregon #trail #california #mexico #food #recipe #chili #scottparish #guyscooktoo

Japan

35,000 years ago, man immigrated from the Asian mainland to inhabit a group of islands.  They brought pottery, metal working, rice cultivation, writing, and warlords.  How does it culminate?  Grown men wrestling in diapers.  Some of the oldest life expectancy on earth.  And square watermelons.  Come explore, Japan.  #dyingtoeat #japan #samurai #sushi #watermelon #russia #buddism #shinto #matsuri #usa #china #asia #recipe #death #food #square #sumo #diaper #delaware #guyscooktoo #scottparish

Hawaii

Mystical volcanic mountains rise through the fog across the sea.  Monstrous rock formations spilling into the clear blue waters of the Pacific Ocean.  Magical landscapes seen from the most common locales.  And meaty comfort food nuzzled simply in a can.  Ancient culture finds home hidden in pure beauty among these dots of islands. Adapting, conforming, and thriving are how this culture maintained, as one foreign entity after another discovered them and move into the island chain.  Come with us somewhere over the rainbow as we explore the history and rituals of Hawaii #hawaii #spam #isreal #surf #island #pineapple #pacific #unitedstates #china #asia #lei #scottparish #guyscooktoo #dyingtoeat #new #earth #recipe #friedrice #music #rocks #cook #rainbow

Ghana

Remember the children's story about the old lady who lived in a shoe, she had so many kids she didn't know what to do?  There's a place where she likely spent eternity in that shoe.  Tradition has it, coffins are built to reflect the interest of the deceased in this country.  Pitmasters in BBQ grills. Fisherman in boats.  Businessmen in briefcases.  Custom coffins for all occasions.  Well... maybe that's overkill.  Let's find out together as we explore the African nation of Ghana.  #dyingtoeat #die #coffin #ghana #british #england #unitedstates #africa #slave #food #recipe #guyscooktoo #scottparish #redstew

James Madison

Nobody throws a tea party like they do in Boston. The thing is, how did it come, to what seemed as such an impulsive act to a brooding situation?  One man Knew.  One man spent his life before, as well as after, paving the way for our new nation.  Let's explore James Madison... Orator, statesman, patriot, fourth president of the United States, and eater of pie.  #dyingtoeat #unitedstates #newyork #philadelphia #virginia #montplier #dolly #dolley #president #pie #recipe #food #dessert #sweet #firstlady #scottparish #guyscooktoo #truecrime #jefferson
