Heads up, #InstitutionalFood and #SchoolFood researchers! Can a breakfast be secular? Does lunch have a religion? If you serve halal or kosher food to someone without their knowing it’s halal or kosher, is it? Here’s to injecting a little critical food studies knowledge into our houses of government… Take a look at these two articles on CBC.com and weigh in with your thoughts!

Upcoming: a #treyf #shabbos #dinner shrimps and squid tubes w/ black (sepia) spaghetti in a spicy-garlicky white wine tomato sauce.

Yep, as a non-religious Jew, I do eat and enjoy non-kosher foods, so if you're following me don't be surprised if I occasionally roast off a couple of pork tenderloins. 😊
