The never-ending quest to satisfy humankind’s senses has led to some magnificent culinary creations. 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 a famous 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 a riot. And he shows how a 17th century corporate monster waged war across the globe, over the humble coffee bean and tea-leaf. It’s a remarkable a story of power, greed and corruption.
