# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Ashkenazi Jewish Food
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 14 Apr, 2026 at 05:00 pm (+00:00)
- **Event Description**: Ashkenazi Jewish foodways embrace numerous regional culinary cultures from Eastern and Central Europe. They are notable for using locally available ingredients to conform to the rituals of Jewish life, most distinctively the slow-simmered stews that developed for the Sabbath. Robust grains like barley and buckwheat, tangy dill pickles and pickled herring, comforting chicken soup with matzo balls or kreplach, and sweet pastries stuffed with poppyseed and nuts are some of the most characteristic flavors. When masses of Jews migrated to America in the late nineteenth century, they faced not only unfamiliar foods but also challenges to their culinary practices. This lecture by Darra Goldstein will discuss how Ashkenazi Jews adapted to life in their new country by adopting unfamiliar ingredients and engaging in debates about nutrition and the importance of domestic traditions, all the while keeping the beloved flavors of the Old Country intact. The lecture will conclude with a look at the American Jewish foodscape today.
