Evolving Kosher
The Brian Lehrer Show | Apr 22, 2016
Just in time for Passover, Roger Horowitz, food historian, director of the Center for the History of Business, Technology, and Society at the Hagley Museum and Library in Delaware and the author of Kosher USA: How Coke Became Kosher and Other Tales of Modern Food (Columbia University Press, 2016), discusses his history of American industrial food and ancient Jewish laws, plus the foods recently designated as kosher for Passover, including rice, beans, corn and peanuts.
Plus Jane Eisner, editor-in-chief of The Forward, describes her (possibly irrational) anguish over whether to serve string beans at her Seder.
