No One Saw It Coming with Marc Fennell

Program: Marie Antoinette, mother of French fries?

Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume.

What if the only reason we have French fries today is because of Marie Antoinette and her mates? Join Marc as he uncovers the wild history of the potato. 

Guest: Dr Lauren Samuelsson - Food historian and Associate Lecturer, University of Wollongong.
