The things you find out when you ask people about their food memories can be soulful, spicy, sensational, sour, and often sublime. Often you'll discover something you never knew about the person you asked - and this is what the Three Food Memories podcast is about, how every food memory is linked to a moment in time.

Three Food Memories is hosted by Savva Savas, dad of twin boys, entrepreneur, caterer, and creator. In each episode Savva chats with a guest who shares three food memories and a social cause close to their heart, revealing far more about themselves than what they’ve tasted.

Be prepared for some hilarious and otherwise never-heard-before stories, and if you love listening - please tell your friends (and like, subscribe, and follow for all the goodness!)

For comedian Geraldine Hickey, meal times were very Aussie. Dinners were spent sitting in a line with her five siblings along a long kitchen bench, with Mum on a stepping stool on the other side. The meals were simple fare, meat and three veg and spaghetti bolognese made with canned tomato soup and onion soup mix. And although they might have been plain, they were delicious. Almost
