Would an apple by any other name taste as sweet? Why do we drink milk at the breakfast table, but take our café “au lait”? On this week’s “The Apple: A Bite of Culinary Culture” Katherine Perry talks with Ina Lipkowitz, MIT professor and author of “Words to Eat By: Five Foods and the Culinary History of the English Language”. The book traces the history of a few of the most basic food words in English–and what they reveal about us.

All Things Food is brought to you by KAM Appliances in Hanover and other sponsors. Tune into the show every Wednesday night 6:15 – 8:00 p.m. on 95.9 FM WATD and streaming 24/7 online. Visit the All Things Food Page for more information.

About WATD-FM

WATD is one of those seemingly impossible ideas which actually worked and has now endured for over three full decades. The idea for the station in Marshfield emerged as the result of a prospecting trip Carol Ebert Perry and Edward Perry made in December of 1972.
