Welcome to episode 24! In this episode Melissa and Aimee, sans Kate, talk about China’s Wet Markets and the rise of grocery stores in the West. This episode was recorded on National Margarita Day and the dishes might be a bit tipsy before it even starts and go off topic quite a bit. Melissa tells us all about the fruit of the Lychee tree and the four beauties of ancient China, and Aimee thoroughly grosses everyone out.
Music by Andrew Huang.
