SBS launches new podcast celebrating the “Ugly Ducklings” of Italian Cuisine


SBS has today launched its first ever bilingual podcast series - The Ugly Ducklings of Italian Cuisine (Scarrafoni in cucina) in English and Italian - celebrating the most delicious, non-Instagrammable Italian dishes that might never have come across your plate.

The first two episodes are available today in both English and Italian on the SBS Radio app and all popular podcast platforms.

Over the course of six episodes, the series will follow some of Australia and Italy’s

most well-known chefs and food critics, including acclaimed restaurateur and food personality Guy Grossi, celebrity chef Poh Ling Yeow, and food blogger and author Emiko Davies, as they explore and celebrate Italy’s least appetizing specialties.

From a much-loved rigatoni that uses the intestines of an unweaned calf, to a celebratory Carnevale pudding made of chocolate and pig’s blood, each episode will introduce listeners to a new recipe - uncovering a fascinating history and serving up a reminder that food shouldn’t always be taken at face value!

Podcast host Massimiliano Gugole, from SBS Italian, said: “Italy is a country of beauty, with its food celebrated all over the world, but this podcast will introduce listeners to some of our lesser-known culinary treasures, with a healthy dose of irony thrown in for good measure.”

The first two episodes are now available in English and Italian on Apple PodcastsGoogle PodcastsSpotify, and via the SBS Radio app.

Episodes of The Ugly Ducklings of Italian Cuisine will drop every Wednesday.
