The Food of Yemen

This is the episode where Jay and Jacob go back home - and eat.  It’s Part Two of the episode on Yemen, when they get down to the nitty-gritty (or the Vitty-Gritty?) of the country they called home for almost a decade.  Though Jacob was just a wee lad at the time, he has stories about a dish or two that he has not forgotten.  Jay forgot some of the names of things, and regrets not trying even more things than he did, but there are still many taste memories his palate easily recalls.  They cover salta, the national dish, the half dozen kinds of fresh-baked bread available, and the phenomenon of eating beans for breakfast.  Hot tea, hot bowls, and hot sauce get their mentions, along with stories of the fish market and a favorite sweet.  If you thought shopping hungry was risky, listening to this episode hungry could be downright dangerous.  So grab an egg and feta sandwich and take a listen.
