Sandra and Martin talk about how Kennett Square, Pennsylvania became the mushroom capital of America. In the spirit of mushrooms, Martin serves a mushroom risotto, and mushrooms and sausage. In the main section, they speak with Martin's mom who recalls an extraordinary trip to Italy in 1958. Her journey begins innocently enough with a can of mushrooms from Kennett Square, Pennsylvania which ultimately brings her to the funeral of Pope Pius XII.
