Description
How do you indigenize a food? What are the hummus wars? Tune in to a food identity themed episode of A Taste of the Past as Linda Pelaccio chats with Ari Ariel, Assistant Professor of Hebrew and Judaic Studies at NYU. Tune in to learn how cuisine is shared and sometimes protected in different countries and cultures. Learn what makes a dish authentic and how hummus has caused such a fuss between nations. This program was sponsored by Cain Vineyard and Winery. Migration provokes changes in foodways. I think in America we all understand that nothing is truly authentic. The word hummus is just the Arab word for chick pea, it has nothing to do with preparation. --Ari Ariel, Assistant Professor of Hebrew and Judaic Studies at NYU on A Taste of the Past
