Got a lot of frequent flyer miles? Guess what, probably not as much as your food does! Today, the average meal travels thousands of miles to our table. On today's show we're talking transportation... from our food to our personal travels. We begin with shipping containers and our moveable feast. A couple talks about their year eating locally. Later we take a train ride in India. We'll also talk to a neuroscientist about the tricks of memory and Proust's famous madeleines. Plus potluck pointers, Jessica Harris on the ferry rides of her childhood, and a cab driver's memoir.

Download Audio (mp3) Must-have holiday dishes
What dishes HAVE to be on the holiday table? There are some flavors that are so much a part of our holiday spirit, they have come to define us. For playwright Eduardo Machado, it's Cuban Roast Pork. For Michelle Bernstein it's a family chicken soup recipe.... from Argentina. We'll also discover some slightly unusual holiday beer traditions. And for some, it isn't the holidays without uncorking champagne. We'll hear about a biography of the remarkable woman who brought champagne to the world, and invented the system of riddling. Plus, the New African American kitchen begins with history and Thomas Keller on a novel way to cook.
