In this inaugural episode of the planet pantry podcast we'll be exploring the ancient predecessors to soy sauce and miso; Chinese Jiangs and Douchi. We'll also be exploring the history of ancient China and some mythology to better understand the context under which these products were created. Excuse my pronunciation of... everything, I tried my best to figure out how to pronounce things and I'm hoping that if I get an audience maybe some people will consult with me for future episodes.

I'll also add a disclaimer that I am not an expert on Chinese history, mythology or culture. I'm just trying to fill a gap in understanding between the foods that people use every day and the cultures behind them. I welcome any criticism, correction or other notes and I would really appreciate if anyone out there has a specific ingredient or food from their own cultures that they'd like to talk about or if anyone wants to coach me on pronunciation, I'm probably going to address your culture at some point so reach out if you want to help.

Contact me with anything; notes, criticism, advice on cooking, your day to day troubles, anything
