Episode 706: Key Lime Pie

Author: Molly Wizenberg and Matthew Amster-Burton July 10, 2025 Duration: 27:38

We've always had a 'thing' for KLP so why did it take us 706 episodes to get to it!? Today we're diving through dumpsters full of pulp as we learn about new fangled citrus crossings and discover a love for food festivals. Mr Botany lurks behind the curtain and Jane Ellison meets her match as the sandy crusts of the Florida Keys beckon us. Next corporate retreat!?

You’re in for a treat with Spilled Milk, where food becomes the starting point for a conversation that’s as unpredictable as it is hilarious. Each week, writers and comedians Molly Wizenberg and Matthew Amster-Burton pick a single ingredient or dish-maybe something as simple as an apple or as daunting as winter squash-and then just let the discussion fly. What unfolds is less a formal critique and more like eavesdropping on two clever friends who can’t help but digress, riff, and occasionally overshare, all in the name of culinary curiosity. The charm of this podcast lies in its delightful detours; they follow every tangent with genuine enthusiasm, whether they’re debating the merits of a specific cheese or recounting personal kitchen disasters. It’s a blend of thoughtful observation and pure comedy, rooted in a shared love for the subject but never taking it too seriously. You’ll come for the food talk but stay for the laughter and the surprising places each episode ends up. Tune in for a consistently warm and witty escape that celebrates the messy, funny, and deeply human side of eating and cooking.
