Judaism and Jewish food piqued my interest a few years ago, and I went on to do an MPhil in Intercultural Theology and Interreligious Studies just so I could write about it to my heart’s content. My thesis used the culinary practices of the Indian-Jewish community as a case study, but I used my free time to read about other types of Jewish food, be it Ashkenazi, Mizrahi or Sephardic.
I don’t claim to be an expert on Jewish food but I do know a fair amount about it. Having spent a few years in Dublin, I have always been curious about finding Jewish food in the city but haven’t succeeded, except for the odd loaf of challah. So I was very excited to come across a piece in The Nosher titled The Best Jewish Food in Dublin, and thought that someone had finally dug deep enough to be able to compile a guide that I could count on.
