Neither of us had been to a Zingerman&#8217;s food tasting event before, but it ended up being Ari and Paul, two of the founders, telling stories about the history of the company while a number of good foods were handed out and explained \/ detailed, with anecdotes and stories related to each item.<\/p>\n<p>There seemed to be two focuses of today food-wise, one being items they had been serving for years and which were influential early on, and the other was simply good, more recent things. It&#8217;s a very good thing that we arrived hungry, because the quantity of food served amounted to a medium sized and very delicious meal. Here&#8217;s a list of the items served, of which we each tried all of it except for the <cite>2K Caraway Rye<\/cite>, as one of the other people at our table took the whole chunk:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&middot; Sesame Semolina Bread<br \/>\n&middot; Farm Bread<br \/>\n&middot; 2 Kg Caraway Rye Bread<br \/>\n&middot; 2 Kg Roadhouse Rye Bread<br \/>\n&middot; Mushroom Beef Barley Soup<br \/>\n&middot; Oswald&#8217;s Mile High Sandwhich (Corned Beef and Mustard on Rye)<br \/>\n&middot; Bagel Sandwich (Cream Cheese, Red Onion, Tomato, and Cold Smoked Salmon)<br \/>\n&middot; Fennel Pollen (Eaten straight, and on the Bagel Sandwich.)<br \/>\n&middot; Chopped Liver (I did not care for this; too iron-y.)<br \/>\n&middot; Chicken Salad<br \/>\n&middot; Tongue (I did not care for this either, mostly the texture bothered me.)<br \/>\n&middot; Smoked Sable<br \/>\n&middot; Edward&#8217;s Berkshire Bacon<br \/>\n&middot; Couscous with Harissa &#038; Pasolivo Olive Oil<br \/>\n&middot; Cara Cara Orange Salad with Chilean Vinegar Vinaigrette<br \/>\n&middot; Stitchelton Cheese (a raw milk Stilton)<br \/>\n&middot; Comte Cheese<br \/>\n&middot; Ulmo Honey<br \/>\n&middot; Hamentaschen<br \/>\n&middot; Zzang Bar<br \/>\n&middot; El Rustico Chocolate Bar<br \/>\n&middot; Noodle Kugel<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>After the tasting Danielle and I purchased some Chicken Salad, Blondies, Pecan Raisin Bread (for making sandwiches with the chicken salad), bagels, Stitchelton, Ginger Beer, Gelato, Berkshire Bacon, and a jar of the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Harissa\">harissa<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This has been a tremendous day food-wise. After returning home I ate some of the quiche which Danielle made on Saturday night (portabello, onion, and broccoli) with harissa on it, and it was incredibly, amazingly good. I should probably post a photo of it tomorrow, as I&#8217;ll probably be eating more of it for dinner.<\/p>\n<p>Mmm. I am full of good food.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please excuse the terrible image, but this is from earlier today when Danielle and I headed to Zingerman&#8217;s Next Door for their 27th Anniversary Tasting.&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/2009\/03\/15\/zingermans-27th-anniversary-tasting\/\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Zingerman&#8217;s 27th Anniversary Tasting<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1344","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-food","entry"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1344","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1344"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1344\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1347,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1344\/revisions\/1347"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1344"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1344"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1344"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
