47:54Now PlayingOn the evidence of his twenty-plus books—covering topics including sports, dogs, and language—and his regular appearances on NPR’s “Wait, Wait….Don’t Tell Me!” Blount knows a lot about a lot of things. He’s also as funny and charming as he is informative, and all these traits come to bear in this witty consideration of food. As befits a member of the Fellowship of Southern Writers, Blount caters to a taste for gizzards, mullet, okra (though he’s sensitive to sufferers of “okraphobia”), cane syrup, watermelon, and boiled peanuts, but he also keeps the larger picture in mind, with serious songs, rhymes, and stories about climate change, eat local campaigns, and the reality that “Compost Happens”; more “Spicy Limericks,“ anyone?
