The spice trade: Culinary Exchange That Shaped the World (Middle Ages)
Description
As night draws its velvet curtain around us, we journey back through the whispers of time to the age when spices were as precious as gold, swirling through the Medieval marketplaces and palaces, igniting the fires of empires and economies. In our passage, we traverse the serene waters of the Venetian Republic where opulent galleys laden with cloves, cinnamon, and dreams glide silently under the moons soft gaze. Through whispered tales of adventure and the silent echoes of sails in the wind, each spice carries its own story, a distant memory of sunlit lands mingled with the touch of the exotic on our tongues. Let us drift into slumber on these fragrant breezes, discovering the serene power of flavors that once shaped the world. This episode is hosted by Abigail Johnson.
