Jenn and Clara discuss the 3 course chewing gum in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and other multi-course dining experiences around the world.
Jenn and Clara break down the best and worst ways to prepare the 3 course meal that Violet Beuregard experiences while on tour at the Factory. The two then share their experiences with their own cultural dining practices, the cadence, and format of meals around the world from antipasti in Italy to a refreshing plate of cut fruit at the end of many meals in Asia. Meal formats nowadays tend to be more of a suggestion than a steadfast set of rules.
