231 - Graham Crackers

from Don't Look Now · host Jeni McDonald and Will Hageman

This week we discuss the invention of the graham cracker... the tasty snack that is used for making smores, pie crusts, and other fun snacks. However, its history is not what you might expect. The original graham cracker was invented by the reverend Sylvester Graham in the late 1800s. He was a proponent of avoiding lustful thought by eating the blandest food possible and made a completely dull tasteless cracker using unsifted flour and no salt or sugar. It wasn't until much later that the cracker got an update and became the tasty treat it is today.
