“There is a beautiful Hindustani saying, ‘Kosa kosa per pani badle, chare kosa per vani,' which means "Every two miles the water changes, and every four the language." So that, in fact, is the geography of taste and terroir in India.”This week on the show, we talk with sociologist Krishnendu Ray about place and food and caste in India and how identity can be defined as much by what you DON'T eat, as by what you DO eat.  And we share a recipe for a home grown hot sauce that cannot be prepared indoors.

In this episode, Gastronomica's Krishnendu Ray talks with Sean Wyer about the 21st century transformation of Rome's Jewish Quarter. Drawing on his latest research, recently published in Gastronomica, Sean considers how a range of factors – from heritage tourism and cosmopolitan innovation to religious dietary laws and diasporic migration – helped shape Jewish-Roman cuisine and the evolving character of a historic neighborhood.Gastronomica is Powered by Simplecast.

As a result of trade, travel and migration, different cuisines have spread across the world. Many recipes, chefs and restaurants try to claim that their example of a particular culinary tradition is the most authentic. But is this a good thing?由于贸易、旅行和移民，不同的美食已经传播到世界各地。 许多食谱、厨师和餐馆都试图声称他们的特定烹饪传统的例子是最正宗的。 但这是好事吗？People care about authenticity because food traditions are closely linked to identity, particularly for migrant communities. Sociologist and professor of food studies, Krishnendu Ray, explains that home cooking is often the last way that communities can show their identity. British celebrity chef Jamie Oliver was accused of trying to take advantage of positive feelings about Jamaica. His ready meal product had a Jamaican name, but was unlike genuine Jamaican cooking.人们关心真实性，因为饮食传统与身份密切相关，尤其是对于移民社区而言。 社会学家兼食品研究教授克里希南杜·雷 (Krishnendu Ray) 解释说，家庭烹饪往往是社区展示其身份的最后一种方式。 英国名厨杰米·奥利弗被指控试图利用人们对牙买加的积极情绪。 他的即食产品有一个牙买加名字，但与真正的牙买加烹饪不同。However, food consultant Sara Kay asks whether there are problems with the idea of authenticity. She highlights that these ideas often come from the expectations that majority cultures have about minority cultures and their food. These can be restricting – restauranteurs have complained that people expect Asian food to be cheaper than that from European cultures.然而，食品顾问萨拉·凯询问真实性的想法是否存在问题。 她强调，这些想法通常来自大多数文化对少数文化及其食物的期望。 这些可能会受到限制——餐馆老板抱怨说，人们期望亚洲食品比欧洲文化的食品便宜。Expectations can also give people a false idea of what is authentic. While large cities are full of eateries representing different countries – China, India, Italy, Mexico and more – these labels can oversimplify the reality of food from these countries. Stephanie Elizondo Greist was surprised by the difference between regional specialities in different parts of Mexico and what she ate growing up as a Mexican-American in Texas, but feels that both are authentic examples of Mexican food.期望也会让人们对真实的事物产生错误的认识。 虽然大城市遍布代表不同国家（中国、印度、意大利、墨西哥等）的餐馆，但这些标签可能过于简单化了这些国家食品的真实情况。 斯蒂芬妮·埃利松多·格雷斯特 (Stephanie Elizondo Greist) 对墨西哥不同地区的地方特色菜与她在德克萨斯州长大的墨西哥裔美国人所吃的东西之间的差异感到惊讶，但认为两者都是墨西哥食物的正宗例子。A more controversial view of authenticity was stated by American Chef Andrew Zimmern, who claimed that he could bring Chinese dishes to Minnesota in a more authentic way than existing restaurants – many of which are owned by Chinese-Americans. Writer and food podcaster Ruth Tam points out that while these restaurants altered their menus to suit local tastes, so does Zimmern. So, while food and identity are closely linked, and failure to respect authenticity can cause offence, could there be problems with the whole idea of authenticity?美国厨师安德鲁·齐默恩(Andrew Zimmern)提出了一个更有争议的真实性观点，他声称他可以以比现有餐馆更正宗的方式将中餐带到明尼苏达州——其中许多餐馆都是由华裔美国人开的。 作家兼美食播客 Ruth Tam 指出，虽然这些餐厅改变了菜单以适应当地口味，但 Zimmern 也是如此。 因此，虽然食物和身份密切相关，不尊重真实性可能会导致冒犯，但真实性的整个理念是否存在问题？词汇表cuisine 菜肴recipe 食谱chef 厨师restaurant 餐馆，餐厅culinary tradition 烹饪传统food tradition 饮食传统food studies 食品研究home cooking 家庭烹饪celebrity chef 明星大厨ready meal 即食餐，方便食品cooking （用特定方法烹制的）饭菜restauranteur 餐馆老板eatery 小饭馆regional speciality 地方特色菜dish （一道）菜，菜肴menu 菜单

This episode is part of a special series in collaboration with Gastronomica: The Journal for Food Studies, guest hosted by Gastronomica editorial collective member Krishnendu Ray.Kyoungjin Bae, as part of a Gastronomica round table on Taste and Technology in East Asia, explores the production and consumption of soy sauce in Korea from the 18th to the early 20th centuries. Although the transformation of Korean soy sauce's identity in the 20th century is usually attributed to industrialization, Bae discovered a shift in the way ordinary people interacted with soy sauce. Soy sauce, in the early modern period, was home brewed. In colonial times (1910-1945), due to an influx of Japanese commodities in Korean market, consumers increasingly relied on their tastes to evaluate soy sauce and guide their choices among industrialized products. This, in turn, transformed conceptions of the taste of soy sauce and its identity.Image courtesy of Kyoungjin Bae.Heritage Radio Network is a listener supported nonprofit podcast network.

Academic discussions of ethnic food have tended to focus on the attitudes of consumers, rather than the creators and producers. In this ground-breaking new book, The Ethnic Restaurateur (Bloomsbury, 2016), Krishnendu Ray reverses this trend by exploring the culinary world from the perspective of the ethnic restaurateur. Focusing on New York City, he examines the lived experience, work, memories, and aspirations of immigrants working in the food industry. He shows how migrants become established in new places, creating a taste of home and playing a key role in influencing food cultures as a result of transactions between producers, consumers and commentators. Based on extensive interviews with immigrant restaurateurs and students, chefs and alumni at the Culinary Institute of America, ethnographic observation at immigrant eateries and haute institutional kitchens as well as historical sources such as the US census, newspaper coverage of restaurants, reviews, menus, recipes, and guidebooks, Ray reveals changing tastes in a major American city between the late 19th and through the 20th century. Written by one of the most outstanding scholars in the field, The Ethnic Restaurateur is an essential read for students and academics in food studies, culinary arts, sociology, urban studies and indeed anyone interested in popular culture and cooking in the United States.

Ahmed is on vacation, so he wanted y’all to hear his favorite episode: Ghee is having a moment right now. People call it a magic food that will melt your fat away. Kourtney Kardashian swears by it. Whole Foods is selling it. And the marketing language always comes back to how “ancient,” “pure” and “authentic” it is. And Ahmed can’t stop thinking about it. So this week, we’re spending the whole episode tackling one question: Why is this happening to ghee? We do a taste test with the brain trust, chat with Food and Fitness Director at SELF Magazine (and former BuzzFeeder) Sally Tamarkin, NYU Food Studies Department chair Krishnendu Ray, and Ahmed’s aunt Naheed Usmani to chew on it.

Actor, filmmaker and restaurant-owner Zach Braff (Scrubs, Alex Inc, Garden State) was born and raised in New Jersey - home to the highest percentage of Italian Americans in the country. And for his last meal, he's sticking close to his roots! On this week's YLM, Rachel digs into the cheesy, saucy and fascinating history of Italian food in America with Krishnendu Ray, Department Chair of the Food Studies Program at NYU. Then she talks with cookbook author and Long Island native Amy Pennington about how to make the perfect red-checkered-tablecloth-and-Chianti-bottle-candleholder chicken parm. Watch Zach in Alex Inc, now streaming at abc.com. Check out Krishnendu Ray's book "The Ethnic Restaurateur," an academic look at the immigrant perspective of working in restaurants. Visit amy-pennington.com to get any of her books including her newest cookbook "Salad Days."

Oft-quoted and well-loved by the MTBE team, Krishnendu Ray--NYU Food Studies Professor and author of two books on immigrant foods in America--joins us to talk about why searching out the most "authentic, ethnic" cuisines can be a problem, how social media has democratized food and why expensive Chinese is in our future food forecast.

Ghee is having a moment right now. People call it a magic food that will melt your fat away. Kourtney Kardashian swears by it. Whole Foods is selling it. And the marketing language always comes back to how “ancient,” “pure” and “authentic” it is. And Ahmed can’t stop thinking about it. So this week, we’re spending the whole episode tackling one question: Why is this happening to ghee? We do a taste test with the brain trust, chat with BuzzFeed Health editor Sally Tamarkin, NYU Food Studies Department chair Krishnendu Ray, and Ahmed’s aunt Naheed Usmani to chew on it.
