Welcome to the Dinner Party Download. This is your icebreaker.

All right, here's a joke for you.

Did you hear about the waiter who got vinegar in his ear?

No. He now suffers from pickled hearing.

I'm Rico Galeano.

I'm Brendan Francis Nuneum. And from APM American Public Media, this is the dinner party download, the show that helps you win your next dinner party.

You just got a joke from Tim Walker, organizer of the Grill Cheese Invitational Competition coming up in Los Angeles this Saturday.

That is a food-related joke because this is a food-related week.

That's right. So we have an all-food show for you.

You'll hear about mashed potato cookies, sushi-ritos, and really baked goods.

Sorry, no peeps.

So yeah, this week folks feasted for Passover.

Easter feast is coming up, so we've put together some of our favorite food segments.

Resurrect them for Easter.

So to speak. Yeah, we were going to paint them pastel colors, hide them in your yard, but, you know, since most of you don't have yards, we thought we'd just put them in the show here.

Yeah, like a sater plate full of tasty sounds. For our first menu item, we went to London, England to visit the Imperial War Museums cafe,

which last year started serving food based on recipes from World War II era Britain.

Because nothing says delicious like World War II era Britain.

Yes. It was not an easy time to be a chef.

As I found out from the project's general manager, Katie Fluster.

Butter was rationed and fats.

So there goes all good food right there.
