So I'm reading along about the Spice Islands and start to wonder - was #Dune just Frank Herbert vibing out in Big University Archives and smoking too many clove ciggies?
But seriously, the world really did turn in on itself over the dried plant bits from a couple of islands between India and Australia. (Was it #Aliens? It wasn't Aliens.) But I will explain how the busiest place in the world in the 16th Century was a place that is really hard to get to even now, but has food you really want to try.

The show notes will have spice lists in what looks like made-up languages, and a link to a PDF ( https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/8102 ) of the Forme of Cury.
Also - shoutout to @NYPL for having a bound version of this on display at 5th Ave - I got to see it!)
