"In the podcast "Appetizing: An American New York Jewish Food Tradition" by the Association for Jewish Studies, host Jeremy Shere delves into the history and significance of the New York Jewish food tradition of appetizing with guests Eve Jochnowitz, Hasia Diner, Mark Russ Federman, and Norma Joseph. They discuss how appetizing stores, dating back to the early 1900s, offered fish, dairy, and related foods as a complement to meat-selling delis, shaping the culinary landscape of Jewish New Yorkers and reflecting how they lived and ate over the years."

Professor Hasia Diner, a prominent historian of Jewish-American history, delves into her latest book, "Roads Taken: The Great Jewish Migration to the New World and the Peddlers Who Forged the Way," discussing patterns of Jewish migration to the Americas.
