Two Noras and a Mic
When I Dip You Dip We Dip
From ancient hummus to 1950s French onion, the humble dip contains multitudes of culinary history worth savoring. Join Nora and Nora as they gleefully dissect the fascinating world of dips and the vessels that carry them.
The conversation begins with an unexpected National Banana Day celebration and a quirky gift exchange before diving into the surprising revelation that dips only became popular in American homes during the 1950s. This coincided with the rise of suburban entertaining and casual hosting, though essential dip components like sour cream (invented 1815) and potato chips (created 1853) had been around much longer.
The hosts passionately debate what makes the perfect dipping vessel, with sturdy pretzels earning high praise and flimsy crackers receiving justified scorn. This leads to nostalgic reminiscing about childhood dip adventures, including sitting on the steps of "the Castle" with French onion dip, Ruffles, and illicit tubes of cookie dough.
Whether you're Team Hot Spinach Dip or prefer your guacamole strictly chilled, this episode offers delightful food history, practical dipping advice, and the charming banter that makes these two Noras such engaging companions.
