Such a thoughtful, humble way of encouraging others.
In today's episode, we explore all of this through a simple pineapple cake, Sam's cake, as his family called it.
The cake was his nan's attempt to heal his troubles with food and to instill her old-fashioned values through nurture rather than control.
Most of all, this episode offered for me a new take, an inversion, if you will, on the old adage, it's better to give than to receive.
Sam's pineapple cake tells the story of a family, their matriarch, the values she passed on, and the ways she ultimately received the gift of those values in return.
But then you couldn't break her heart, right?
Tell me a little bit about being a fussy eater.
Some kids are fussy eaters, but it sounds like it was pretty extreme in your case.
And this, to me, is a very sort of familiar from literature, but completely unfamiliar from experience, school experience.
It's so dominant in Roald Dahl.
It's really dominant, I think, in every book from any modern British author that I can think of, these sort of horrible, horrible school experiences.
And at some point, I felt they were more in the past.
Force feeding a child to the point of vomiting, you're young.

Modern.
This is recent.
Right.
My instant reaction is that this really wasn't about waste.
It was about power and control.
She's right.
