Think Humans of New York meets an Asian American cookbook.

On this post-election one we present our first ever disliked dish, because apparently there are no rules anymore. This was meant to be a revenge episode with Eli Beutel, but instead of raging against this German Christmas dish, stollen, they were the consummate food and alcohol historian—and still funny!
We talk about the history of this dish, why they hate it, and why it’s still important to share family recipes, even not so great ones.
Plus flavor profiles as identity, accidentally becoming an expert in Hittite bee law, and a dip into tiki culture.
Eli recommends their mentor Dawn Bohulano Mabalon's book Little Manila Is in the Heart: The Making of the Filipina/o American Community in Stockton, California
If you're curious about stollen, Eli recommends trying it first before diving into making your own loaf. Here's a couple places you can purchase it:
World Market
Dresden Stollen Bakers (this year's batch is sold out but you can sign up for a reminder to buy next year's)
