Episode 668: Carob
Today we are foisting more ancient history on you as we return to the Fertile Crescent with fond memories and family ways. Molly explains the rise and fall of carob and its dubious health claims while Mr. Etymology's soul goes on a journey. We hope to avoid a specific smell and deal with our "thwarted desire for what is forbidden" as we learn that sometimes almonds are pecans.
