Specifically, the Chicken Tikka from Dishoom, a chain restaurant in the United Kingdom!

This week, host Tom Zalatnai (@tomzalatnai) calls up friend of the show Kyle Harper (@kharpermusic) to talk about eating Pokemon! You know, Pokemon, the now 25-year old media franchise about collecting, befriending, and battling cute animals? To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Pokemon, we did a deep dive into which Pokemon are canonically edible, whether or not it's ethical to eat Slowpoke Tails (and what those kinds of conversations can teach us about international food culture in the real world!), and how to tell if Chansey's eggs are fertilized or not before popping one of those soft-boiled bad boys (soft-boys, for short) into your mouth and gulping it down.
