What would you do for a desperation pie? Kitchen correspondent Sarah Archer is here to talk with Sarah about the American food trends that marked the 20th century and how they related to the political and cultural changes of a nation in need of constant culinary inventiveness. They discuss the specialties of the barren Depression Era, the food-related propaganda and rationing of the wartime years, the meteoric rise of post-war disposability, the premade mixes and “exotic” dishes of midcentury housewives, and the special tastes of Soviet Cold War diplomacy. Throughout the episode, they discuss the messages these eras transmitted to the women in charge of the kitchen and draw parallels to our new era of trad wife cooking and carnivore dieting. Digressions include the unique features of Star Trek aliens, why cottage cheese is the Cher of foods, and how ironing sheets can be a potent tool for procrastination.More Sarah Archer: https://www.sarah-archer.com/ Design for Dreaming 1956 appliance fantasy film: <a href='https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/design-for-dreaming-1956/'>https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/design-for-dreaming-1956/</a>Midcentury Menu exhibition at the MFAH: <a href='https://www.mfah.org/art/exhibitions/midcentury-menu-dining-in-the-atomic-age'>https://www.mfah.org/art/exhibitions/midcentury-menu-dining-in-the-atomic-age</a>Meals with a Foreign Flair: <a href='https://archive.org/details/mealswithforeign00desm'>https://archive.org/details/mealswithforeign00desm</a>Edited + Produced by Miranda Zickler: http://linktr.ee/mirandatheswampmonster More You're Wrong About: <a href='https://www.patreon.com/yourewrongabout'>Bonus Episodes on Patreon</a> <a href='https://www.teepublic.com/stores/youre-wrong-about'>Buy cute merch</a><a rel="payment" href="http://patreon.com/yourewrongabout">Support the show</a>
