But it's also caused great conflict - from the toppling of leaders to the creation of empires. In this episode Tony embarks on a gastronomic journey from the origins of the famous Pavlova dessert, to the discovery of one of the world's greatest wine regions. He time travels back to the early days of Australia's colonial settlement and learns how rum sparked a mutiny that brought down a government. A century later Tony finds out why something as common as beef caused one of the worst riots in Adelaide's history. And he shows how a 17th century corporate monster waged war across the globe, over the humble coffee bean and tealeaf. It's a remarkable a story of power, greed and corruption. See less
