#Repost @umanitobapress with @get_repost ・・・ Want to know what #Snacks author Janis Thiessen is doing now? Well, she and a team of oral historians have outfitted a #foodtruck and they're driving around MB, asking “How has #food been produced, sold & consumed in #Manitoba?”
Unlike the original, this reincarnation is not made in Manitoba. Red paper liner is perhaps not as fluted as the original was. Creamy chocolate, thick with peanuts (some of which are halves!). It’s been 27 years since #Winnipeg’s Paulins made #CubanLunch, so who knows if this new version tastes the same, but it does taste good.
It was a full house tonight @jewishheritagecentre for the launch of an oral history collection archived at the JHC documenting the rich #foodhistory of Jewish Winnipeg. Coordinators Susan Turner and Sharon Allentuck say the project emerged from a reminiscing conversation about #wurst (sausage!). The panelists included Maxine Shuster of Schmoozer’s Cafe, Barbara Reiss of @desserts_plus , Valerie Burachynsky of #simkincenter and Rabbi Yosef Bennaroch of Vaad Ha’ir. During the question period, accessibility to #kosherfood in Winnipeg became the key focus of discussion. To wrap up the event, a table of mouth-watering #desserts #yum #JewishFoodHistory #WinnipegHistory #CommunityOralHistory 📷: Sarah Story @shortstorypeg
