Kyle and Adam keep digging through the history books for old-fashioned recipes, and they immediately fall out over corned beef hash. Kyle swears by it (Spam version included), while Adam is disgusted by anything that came out of a tin. From there they work through wartime cooking: the meatless Woolton pie, the eggless, butterless, milkless Warcake, and Victorian mock turtle soup, which leads to a lot of confusion about what a turtle tastes like, when the Victorian era actually was, and the Great Fire of London.
The tangents keep coming. Alice in Wonderland and the original Winnie the Pooh books turn out to be much weirder than expected, and sherry gets an unexpectedly thorough investigation (it's a Spanish white wine, and no, the port and starboard joke doesn't land). Adam remembers a wine tasting where his friend's very direct Russian wife shut down the sommelier's sales pitch, and the guys ask why the British can't be that blunt without a few drinks in them.
Which brings us to Adam's first properly drunk night: a staff party, a Guinness and Baileys, a lot of regret, and a kind chef called Jason. Next week, the drunkard stories continue.
