From Rubel, this: “You can get pickle everything now. This is really my time.”
With 2024 ending — and not a moment too soon, frankly — I delved into one of the burning questions of the year: Why is everyone so obsessed with pickles?
The dill of a lifetime? In a nation that’s enduring its own sour patch, the pickle dominated 2024
When did we know for sure? Was it April, when Nature Made introduced its pickle-flavored gummy vitamins?

My thoughts on the very recent history of potato latkes, now online as an opinion piece in @jewishsf.bsky.social:
Hanukkah potato pancakes are less than 200 years old, but learning how quickly new rituals become meaningful can add to holiday magic if we let it.

OPINION | The true history of the potato latke
Potato latkes aren't really that old — but they *feel* old. That's what scholars call an "invented tradition," writes SFSU Prof. Rachel Gross.
