That's right!

Coming in hot on the heels of the first part of The Hungry Historian's 2024 Holiday Gift is the highly anticipated sequel!

“Christmas is the season for kindling the fire of hospitality.” - Washington Irving

Sure, historical books might not be your bag, but when it comes to shopping for those hard to buy for people on your Xmas list, you might be thankful that you tuned in for this episode! Just remember to get a gift receipt with any purchases.

As a festive Featured Recipe, Chef Money is rolling in with another tasty treat to make this Holiday season that much sweeter. Sure, it might not be the most appropriately named of my recipes, but you won't care about that once you try some Christmas Crack!

This is a recipe that will come in handy for my next episode when we use it as an ingredient in another featured recipe, but you'll have to wait for that one. Trust me, it will be worth it!

Cheers!

"Men, we are surrounded by the enemy. We have the greatest opportunity ever presented an army. We can attack in any direction." - Brig. General Anthony McAuliffe

December 16th, 2024 will mark the 80th anniversary of what Sir. Winston Churchill proclaimed as the "greatest American battle of the war." It was on that date in 1944 that the last major German offensive in World War II against the Western Front commenced.

The Battle of the Bulge, also know as The Ardennes Offensive, was a brutal six week long campaign that took place in frigid winter conditions. It was the Germans last chance gasp at pressuring the Western allies to sue for piece before turning their focus on the Soviet steamroller in the East.

On this episode, the Hungry Historian will take a look at the overall battle, as well as examine some of the finer points of the campaign. Additionally, Chef Money has come up with a Featured recipe that not only ties into one of the more famous moments of the Battle of the Bulge, but is also a perfect sweet treat to put out this Holiday season.

As a special holiday bonus, Chef Money has concocted an additional fun treat that is inspired by the members of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, better known as the "Band of Brothers," but you'll have to listen in order to find out what it is!

Cheers!!
