The One About Valentine's Day
from Vittles and Vitals · host Jacob Reed
This is the episode where Jay and Jacob talk all things pink and chocolate. Not necessarily the same things, but on Valentine’s Day, the odds are good. The history of this day of love may not be what you think. Yeah, you’ve heard of St. Valentine, but how did things go for him in the end? Not too good. Yet somehow, it’s a happy holiday for most, unless you’re an ethically frozen cockroach in a meerkat exhibit. Lots of couples are hand-in-hand on this day, and few holidays are as connected to vittles - either chalky or chocolatey - as this one. Valentine’s Day may have begun in persecution and martyrdom, but it ends with Reese’s hearts and steak dinners, and that’s the way we like it.
