Imagine yourself dining with Socrates, Plato, or Pythagoras! What tasty morsels of food accompanied the conversations of these most significant minds in Western philosophy?

Or try and picture the richness of fruits and vegetables in the lush Hanging Gardens of Babylon.
What foods did our ancestors ate?
How did all begin? Who was the first to write a recipe down and why?
Sauces, ingredients, ways of cooking. Timeless and continuous yet unique and so alien to us now days. Staple ingredients of the Mediterranean world -as we think now- like tomatoes, potatoes, rice, peppers, didn't exist. What did they eat? We will travel far and wide, reconstructing the diet, the feasts, the dishes of a Greek Philosopher in a symposium in Athens, or a Roman Emperor or as a rich merchant in the last night in Pompeii.....Lavish dinners, exotic spices, so-called "barbaric" traditions of beer and milk, all intertwined...

Chaque épisode met en lumière des tranches de vie d'humains qui invitent les auditeurs au voyage, à la découverte de nouveaux coins du monde, à la rencontre de personnalités singulières et à faire un pas de côté pour plonger dans un quotidien différent. On vous propose aussi des séries thématiques : les couples multiculturels, should I stay or should I go, la peur de l'avion, les enfants d'expats racontent leur rapport à la France, etc.
Nous entendons par expatrié une personne qui a quitté son pays pour vivre à l'étranger, hors de son pays d'origine. On en parle dans un épisode hors série "pourquoi les expats ont si mauvaise réputation ?".
Tous les mardis.
