About this Event
Join A Matter of Taste and Mixed Pantry for a cross-cultural tasting and conversation about how our traditions merge to create community through food. You'll enjoy an intimate tasting of a variety of fermented foods crafted by local AAPI makers, learn first hand how (and why) these unique products are created, and leave energized by complex flavors and inspiring stories.
Fermented foods are about preserving flavor, nutrition, and tradition in foods. Whether it’s garum, Roman fish sauce preserved in huge stone vats at the height of the Roman empire, or soy paste from 200 BCE in China, or going all the way back to 7000 BCE for the first Chinese mead, fermentation is one of the oldest forms of preserving the character of a dish. Today, with our access to all sorts of food preservation methods, our palates still recognize the enduring nature of fermented foods and their impacts on our ability to derive full nutritional value from what we choose to eat.
As we careen through the 202x’s, how do we notice and retain the experiences and ideas we wish to preserve, and in what way can we include them in habits or ceremonies that mark moments that matter and share them with our chosen communities? And when those communities introduce traditions we may not have grown up with, how do we embrace them as part of our new shared culture?
Ticket price includes:
- Guided tasting of fermented foods like soy sauce, gochujang, kombucha, and chocolate
- Small bites and sips featuring Mixed Pantry favorites like dandan sauce and chili crisp
- Private holiday shopping with discount!
