Forget politics, forget territorial disputes, forget religion. Our new episode explores the real Middle Eastern battleground - food.

Food, it turns out, is a serious business. And as we recently came to appreciate, it can lead folks to embark on all kinds of unlikely crusades. In today’s episode we tell two stories, from almost diametrically opposed perspectives, about the ways in which recognition and pride matter, especially when it comes to what we eat and drink. The first, about a Jerusalemite’s quirky liquid obsession, couldn’t be more local, whereas the second is an outsider’s take – the impressions of a visiting radio icon on her first trip to the region.

The original music in “The Pitcher” was composed and performed by Ari Wenig. The final song, “Hummus Metamtem” (or “Hummus Makes You Stupid“), is by Yehoshua Sofer. The episode also features music by Yochai Maital, Kevin MacLeodmar-khalife.bandcamp.com">Bachar Mar-Khalife, Ibrahim MaaloufArthur Oskan and Hadag Nahash. It was mixed by Sela Waisblum.
