Spilled Milk
Every week on Spilled Milk, writers/comedians Molly Wizenberg and Matthew Amster-Burton start with a food-related topic, from apples to winter squash, and run with it as far as they can go—and, regrettably, sometimes further.
Episodes
This episode is, obviously, filled with mouth sounds. Proceed at your own risk.
Today we're bringing you the sequel that nobody wanted but is actually very necessary. We wonder what 'DDS' stands for as we bite into these chonky boys from tubes, barrels and sticks. The masticatory vibes are real for take offs and landings so while we're minimally flavored, and softer for longer, we hope to someday RESPAWN as the Dark Crystal. Happy c...
Get your nose in the game because this is a LEGIT episode we promise. With a little help from the Magic Duoz and Dumpster Dan, we taste these wimpy, weird crackers before taking a pop quiz blindfolded. Then we chat care packages, horror novels and urban legends before teasing even more cheezy sequels.
Episode 416: Alternative Chips
What is the deal with this and why are we talking about it? We're super trendy again as we get into the history of coffee jelly, try a store bought version and a homemade one all before Mr. Etymology stops by. We get into the age old agar vs gelatin debate before discussing non-funny cartoons and ... creamy stuff?
Matthew's Now but Wow! - The One Hundredth Thing about Caroline (1983), by Lois Low...
Warning: This episode contains a LOT of mouth noises.
Today we're the most on trend we've ever been but don't get used to it. The potential for dental emergencies is HIGH as we encounter freeze drove plasma and cheese balls before hopping onto a new stupid candy bandwagon We're shellacked and popped as we wonder why humans do this and then ask how Matthew is like a Skittle.
Molly's Now but Wow! - On Tyranny, the graphic edition, by ...
Today we're bursting out from inside the crust to identify as a Cake Over Pie or Pie Over Cake person before revealing our favorite insulations. After a few close calls and The Harkening we hold and squeeze these aggressive and sludgy pastries and hope not to lose brown as we blind bake. All in all we embrace the shrinkage, get tender and are DTF.
End the clamoring already! We're finally doing saltines! Today we hydrolyze the starches and go premium on these water table crackers but first we make a promise that we do not keep. Yes we talk about the Mandela effect again but we also get into The Devil's Spices and the indecency of sauces before deciding that we've got no zeal for Zesta. We end our episode with a 'science' experiment and generate some unnecessary heat.
We're kernel sized today as we dump, stir and see what happens while eating handfuls of pudding. This delicious hoppy glop happy glap spoon bread helps us through revelations of chili orphans, casserole debates and vowel confusion. All hail the Starchy Binder!
Preppy Kitchen recipe
Molly's Now but Wow! - Don’t Let Me Be Lonely, by Claudia Rankine
Today we ask things like: how old are we really? who is more annoying to be married to? and who doesn't love us? This episode is decades in the making and before things get morbid we taste test while discussing lying babysitters, boxcar hijinks and the title 'Designated Milk Person'. After some voluptuous mouth feelings and creepy commercials we remember to never forget that Duckies Gotta Grub. To support our show go to: spilledmil...
Today we're plugging, plodding and chugging along to talk about Texas Red Chili. We're neither purist nor competitive as we taste this questionably chunky but exceptionally delicious soup? stew? gravy? While we decide whether its Halloween or Thanksgiving we plan yet another hypothetical corporate retreat and try to protect Peter Rabbit's stolen life rights.
Urban Cowgirl recipe
We're just just a couple of cool cookies about to have a moment. Today we're hoping for vodka luges but will settle for raw dough as we taste these toothsome and chocolatey feats of food science. We Jingle All the Way to church on another episode powered by sugar and decide Tube, Tub and Lumps will never be topped.

Today we're talking about The Herb so don't even try to mention thyme. It's all about the sticky leaves of rosemary as we ask what landscapers do and make out of context Spiderman analogies. Mr Etymology pops by as we encounter trailing tendrils, soup tubes and tigers then Lazy Irene gets chopped and invent the drink of the summer.
Matthew's Now but Wow! U:Dessert Story in San Francisco
Today we're filled with something, but we'll never tell you what. We tie ourselves up in knots as we debate the difference between a vine, a rope and a twist and become truly unhinged due to sugar intake. This episode contains: excessive mouth noises, friend slapping, falling diplomas and Billy Madison Syndrome and AI says "includes a humorous segment about lighting candy on fire."
catchy song about groundwater
It's always soup season and today we make you sweat before professing our love for cartoon characters and catchy jingles. With cameo appearances by Ms Piggy, Chucky and Spumoni we realize that we're sick of lessons, have no fiery rants at the ready and don't care what the tongue has to tell us before declaring that Matthew has always been a Dad.
Me Lost Me Cookie at the Disco
Today we're sure we'll mess things up but are permeating studs and talking frying techniques anyway. After a visit from Mr. Etymology we ask how to dredge, and why there are more elephants in the room before offering our shoulders up to be pulled. Then, we fail a spot inspection and put our stamp of approval on some snootiness.

Warning! This episode contains a plethora of chewing sounds. Don't say we didn't warn you.
We're coming to you today from a bed of rose petals as we taste small swaths of chocolate products and try not to wrong the British spirit. We realize these creme not cream candies are 1000% sugar and are comprised of chunky shapes, juicy squirts and nubbly things then get lyrical once we abandon all hope of a Royal Warrant and discover a surp...
It's another peppersode! Just call us The Indistinguishable Professors with Limited Virtues as we push through our rotundone sensitivities to taste these high pitched smells. Molly takes a risk, Matthew can't get it together and Mr. Botany crashes the show before we ask the age old question: what is lop?
Here’s a great blog post from Casa Mascia Apothecary about producing white pepper at home in Belize.
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!?

Your favorite trendsetters are back, though they are suspicious and confused. M and M's biology degrees are put the test before Mr. Botany takes over to describe these hairy bowling bowls rich in nuclei. Its a Tale of Marketing and Endosperm as we gaze upon the majesty of this somehow slippery and turgid beverage.
Matthew's Now but Wow: The Gate of Memory, edited by Brynn Saito a...
What is this? Why is this? Listen as we draw the line at peanut butter but only after it attacks Matthew. Through Fat Breaks and Big Kats we discuss Wunderbar and lament Producer Abby's lack of sweet tooth as we ask: What Can We Learn? from these logs of mysterious nougat and planks of milky chocolate.
Here’s a classic Canadian commercial,
Matthew's Now but Wow - Cambodian Rock Band play
Today we bring you a topic suggested by the Yukon itself. Listen as Matthew undermines Molly at every turn and the phrases 'banana belts' and 'potato sex' appear as The Devil's Potato is discussed even if its not such a hot potato anymore. Then, we encounter a touch of the midday blight before Molly gives Matthew a diseased quiz.
