“There is something in the red of a raspberry pie that looks as good to a man as the red in a sheep looks to a wolf.” Evelyn Waugh
It’s berry season in the Hudson Valley. Need I say more?
Regular subscribers to our updates newsletter receive these updates from our blog, Just Served, directly -- but there is much more at the blog that isn't delivered automatically.
We recently gave a talk to the Red Hook Historical Society about the influence of early Dutch colonists on the eating habits of modern Americans: “Dutch Treat.” The online version includes notes and references.
Truly adventurous (and/or masochistic) readers can follow us on Facebook, or Twitter. If you are still not completely off your feed, links to all of our online scribbles can be found at A Quiet Little Table in the Corner.
Leitesculinaria has reposted twenty-or-so of our backlisted (and, no, I didn’t say “blacklisted” – so don’t get your hopes up) LC pieces here, as part of their archive of food history & science articles.
Here are a few excerpts from On the Table’s culinary quote collection that celebrate the very thing that makes us what we are (foodies, connoisseurs, gourmets, essers, fressers, noshers, gourmandizers, feinschmeckers, gluttons -- take your pick):
“One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating.” Luciano Pavarotti
“So long as you have food in your mouth, you have solved all questions for the time being.” Franz Kafka

PS: If you encounter broken links, changed URLs -- or know of wonderful sites we’ve missed -- please drop us a line. It helps to keep this resource as useful as possible for all of us. To those of you who have suggested sites -- thanks, and keep them coming!
PPS: If you wish to change the e-mail address at which you receive these newsletters, or otherwise modify the way you receive our postings or -- if you’ve received this newsletter by mistake, and/or don't wish to receive future issues -- you have our sincere apology and can have your e-mail address deleted from the list immediately. We’re happy (and continuously amazed) that so few people have decided to leave the list but, should you choose to be one of them, let us know and we’ll see that your in-box is never afflicted by these updates again. You’ll find links at the bottom of this page to fix everything to your liking.
