Hey, it's Dan back with another sportful reheat for you, and this one is a double header.

We are revisiting two episodes we originally made as part of a series called Other People's Food.

This series got a lot of attention when it came out.

We got a lot of great feedback on it.

It was sort of our first foray, I think, into more substantive, more serious, more long-form types of explorations of complicated topics.

So I'm excited to let some of you hear it for the first time.

And this one came by request from a listener named

Zahitia who wrote, I was intrigued to find that the episode Other People's Food Part 2,

What's Poor People's Food, was mentioned in certain discourse about cooking, budgeting,

and perceptions of quote-unquote ethnic ingredients. This insight would be timely in this period of

uncertainty and unrest about American identity and economic fragility.

Thank you so much for the request, Zahite.

We're going to play that episode on the first half of our show today.

Then we'll revisit our episode with actress Rosie Perez from that same series.

In our conversation, Rosie opens up about her personal experiences with stereotypes around food and culture.

Of course, remember if there's an episode of

the Sporkful, you want us to pull out of the deep freezer and share, let us know. Clearly, we take

requests. We're taking one today. Send me a voice memo or email to hello at sporkful.com. Thanks so

much and enjoy these two episodes from our series, Other People's Food.

Definitely when I became like a teenager and went off to college, I totally did not eat any pork.

I called it all slave food.
