#36 - Parts Now Known - Peru
On the second half of the double drop Parts Now Known Podcast, Ben and Ray follow Bourdain and Ripert to Peru to hunt for all white cacao beans. The guys talk chocolate before marveling at the spread at Marissa's weekend gathering and touching on Lima, the Andes, the Amazon, ceviche, flounder, culantro, catfish, eating ants, poisonous yucca, how brooms are made, Bourdain's love for weird museums, street meat, Columbus the explorer, Cortez, the first chocolate factory opening in New England in 1765, the shaman scene, militia guarded toll roads, crossing a raging river on a leaky boat and floating barge, how chocolate is grown, the hiking scene to the trees, and if they made any money off the venture. Ray fills Ben in on why the shaman scene is even funnier when you know the backstory and they guys go through the categories before updating their episode rankings ahead of next weeks season one finale, Congo.
