The Science of Christmas Food

Let's Science

About this episode

Why do we feel so sleepy after eating that holiday meal of turkey? Caroline tells Lindsay and Lino that it's not as simple as tryptophan making you sleepy. Plus why that uniquely Australian and New Zealander dish of pavlova can be so fluffy, why peppermint candy canes make your mouth feel cold, and why flambé doesn't burn the pudding.
