  • Summary

  • Here is an unusual episode discussing food safety, fear, and the unexpected stories that shape our world. In this week’s episode of English and Beyond, César and I tackle the eerie tale of Mad Cow Disease—a terrifying health scare from the 90s that shaped the UK’s food industry and left lasting psychological scars.

    👀 What’s in the episode?

    • The origins of Mad Cow Disease and its shocking connection to cows eating cows.
    • How it transformed the global perception of British beef (and even restricted blood donations!).
    • A glimpse into César’s perspective on food safety scandals in Spain and the infamous horse meat controversy.

    With plenty of (darkly) humorous moments, personal anecdotes, and unexpected tangents—including a noisy dishwasher and an elderly pug—this episode sheds light on the fragile relationship between trust, health, and what we eat.
