Pascal Baudar is a legend in the world of wild foods, constantly advancing the practice of foraging into new and unexplored terrain. While many of us focus on calories or medicinal plants, Pascal is uncovering the terroir hidden in places most of us just don't think to look. Sure, there's been a lot of work done on fermentation in the last decade, but nothing quite like what Pascal has been doing. He marches to the beat of his own drum, and if he's drawing off of other influences, we certainly can't tell. He seems to be inspired from some mysterious, unseen source. Just take a look at his social media, and you'll see things that you just won't find anywhere else. When we set out to start this podcast, we wanted to curate the voices of the most influential characters in the world of wild food. It wouldn't be complete without Pascal. We really enjoyed the interview, because, aside from discussing his new book, and the work he's been doing on vinegars and ferments, we go beyond food and get into the philosophy that underlies the "why" of what he does. Pascal, thanks for all your original and groundbreaking work, and thanks for the reminder about what's really important in life. This interview was an inspiration.
