Faith Adjacent: Breakfast Foods

Hold the milk, put back the sugar as we dive into the spiritual history of the most important meal of the day, breakfast. Join Resident Bible Scholar Erin Moon at the breakfast buffet as she explores the boozy breakfasts of days past, the scandalous origins of cereal, and what it would be like to have Jesus himself cook you breakfast. Pour yourself a cup of coffee, gather around the table and prepare to never look at breakfast the same way again. DISCLAIMER: This episode comes with a content warning as there is a surprising amount of information regarding self-pleasure throughout the history of breakfast (so maybe don’t listen with young ears around).  MENTIONS Throwback: Whitney Houston’s The Greatest Love of All Read: Breakfast: A History by Heather Anderson Breakfast Around the World: Worldwide Breakfasts Ranked | What Breakfast Looks Like in 50 Countries Bible Verses Referenced: Genesis 25:29-34 | 1 Kings 17 | Acts 27:33 | Mark 11:12-25 | Lamentations 3:22-23 Apocryphal Playlist: Breakfast by Newsboys  Tell me more about the History of Coffee | 8 Facts about the History of Coffee Breakfast Cereal Deep Dive: “Official” Rankings  St. Alban’s Cathedral Restoration: See the carving with a mask here Sylvester Graham Deep Dive: Graham Cracker Origins Kellogg Brothers Deep Dive: How the Kellogg Brothers Revolutionized Breakfast | The Kelloggs: The Battling Brothers of Battle Creek by Howard Markel Prize Inside: The 16 Sweetest Prizes EVER in Cereal Boxes Want to learn more about Onan?
