History isn’t always forged on battlefields — sometimes it’s cooked in a frying pan or spilled in the street. In this episode of The Bard’s Forge, we explore two strange but true moments where food and drink reshaped the world. First, we travel to Zurich in 1522, where a group of men sat down to eat pork sausages during Lent — a simple meal that helped ignite the Protestant Reformation and challenged centuries of church authority. Then we jump ahead to London in 1814, when a massive brewery vat burst and unleashed a flood of beer through the slums of St. Giles, drowning homes and lives in a tidal wave of porter. From rebellion on a dinner table to disaster in the streets, these stories remind us that food and drink are never just about sustenance.
