"I splash around fish sauce willy-nilly, like cologne" - Warwick Thornton
In this episode of Three Food Memories, you'll meet film director Warwick Thornton. You'll know him for his magnificent and heart-wrenching storytelling in movies such as Samson & Delilah, The New Boy, and his latest film Wolfram.
What you may not know is that he is an undeniable, dinky-di foodie. So much so that he chose not to share food memories in advance of his chat with Savva, but instead invited Savva into a conversation led by instinct, feeling, and an intense hatred for fruit in savoury food...with the exception of one particular snack. What snack? You'll have to listen in to find out.
On the menu: ethnic culinary inspiration at IGAs, discovering Asian cuisine after Cyclone Tracy, and a three year journey to an epiphany about chocolate!

A little while ago Savva interviewed Ita Buttrose for his 50th birthday. During the conversation, an amazing woman called Beryl Lane came down to chat with her idol, Ita. Beryl had travelled all the way from Macksville to see the chat, and meeting Ita was the icing on the cake.
In this mini episode of Three Food Memories, Savva interviews Beryl - grandmother, teacher of 40 years, and intrepid traveller - but please don't mention backpacks, she hates them.
On Beryl's menu is proper icecream, truffles in Provence, and pig at a Sing Sing in Papua New Guinea.
Sides include: the importance of travel (and how to save for it), reflections on meeting Ita, and whatever "perhapses" are...you'll have to listen to find out.
Beryl's social cause is Anglicare Australia - check them out here: anglicare.asn.au and check out Beryl at the Macksville opshop where you can pick up pickles, bargain clothes, and a lot of love.
