About this episode
Today’s Daf Yomi page, Yoma 81 , tells a delightful story of a town that giddily drank brine on Yom Kippur, believing that pickle juice didn't exactly count as a beverage. Cookbook author and Jewish food maven Liz Alpern joins us to talk all things pickled, and walk us through the intricacies of brining. So were our ancestors correct in gulping down the sour stuff on their fasting day? Listen and find out. Like the show? Send us a note at takeone@tabletmag.com .
