Show Notes & Links
Ever considered wiping your messy fingers on your dinner roll... and then EATING it? This week, Chris and Emma are serving up a historical, hysterical, and surprisingly scientific look at BREAD NAPKINS!
Welcome back to The Chris and Emma Show, where we blend health, nutrition, and the delightfully outlandish! In Episode 5, we're sinking our teeth into a topic that dates back to Ancient Greece (hello, "apomagdalia"!) and could be the next big thing in sustainable dining: Bread Napkins!
Join Chris, The Plant-Based, and Emma Advanced as we:
Uncover the surprising history of using bread for cleaning (yes, really!).
Explore the baking science: Can sourdough, psyllium-packed, or even focaccia-style bread actually work as a napkin?
Debate the pros and cons: Are they an eco-friendly dream or a hygiene nightmare?
Imagine the possibilities: Flavored bread napkins (garlic bread napkin, anyone?), edible placemats, and even bread-based food wraps!
Discuss the hilarious practicalities: What happens if it crumbles? Would you eat a soggy, half-used bread thing?
From the "ick factor" to the "innovation angle," we're covering all the crumbs of this fascinating concept. Is it a goldmine for a clever inventor or just a recipe for a mess?
Tune in for a discussion that's as absorbent as we hope these bread napkins might be!
