Did Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson nibble on Black & White cookies while composing their famous “Ebony & Ivory” duet? We may never know the answer to that question, but As We Eat can tell you about the origins of the Black & White cookie (and its Half Moon cookie cousin) which became a well known metaphor for racial harmony thanks to an episode of Seinfeld. Kudos to Abby Lamb for the episode topic suggestion!Can a Cookie Solve our Woes“Look to the cookie,” Jerry Seinfeld exclaimed in 1994 and suddenly a cookie went viral.Thanks to a suggestion from As We Eat friend Abby Lamb, we are taking a long look into the Black & White Cookie, a sweet treat made world famous as a metaphor for racial harmony by the popular Seinfeld sitcom of the early 1990s. In this episode, we discuss The Dinner Party episode of Seinfeld that launched the not well known black & white cookie into notoriety (without the help of social media). Leigh rounds up the history of the half chocolate / half vanilla cookie and its purported cousin, the halfmoon cookie and Kim surveys other foods that hit the mainstream with a little boost from media - brown cows, cheesecake, White Russians, and more.Sources We Found Helpful for this Episode Food Timeline WebsiteVice Website, The Real History of Black and White Cookies, Joanne Spataro'Look to the Cookie': An Ode in Black and White - The New York TimesBooks We Think You'll Enjoy ReadingArthur Schwartz's New York City Food by Arthur SchwartzRecipes You Really Need to TrySpaghetti Tacos by Kitty Johnson on All RecipesWhite Russian on Liquor.comTranscript
