To celebrate Shavuot and Jewish Culture Month, the Jewish Square Mile Foundation and the Shoreditch Trust brought history vividly to life by hosting a talk with a medieval food historian!
🍰 🍽️ For the first time in centuries, a long‑forgotten medieval dairy pie was recreated and tasted in the City of London, giving attendees a rare glimpse into the flavours and traditions of the Middle Ages.
Guests also decorated and enjoyed cheesecake from Rinkoff’s Jewish Bakery, while sampling Floden – the revived medieval dairy pie that quickly became the star of the celebration! ✨

Mr Pickle is taking the fame extremely well. No notes, no diva behaviour, just a giant gherkin gracing the pages of the Guardian, the BBC, the Jewish Chronicle and half the local press in Britain. 🥒
From the Tube to the Gherkin (yes, really), our favourite vinegary veg has been spotted everywhere this Jewish Culture Month — and the headlines have been a big dill.
Swipe through the press he’s been pickling up 👀
Less oy, more joy. #JewishCultureMonth
Last week, @shedletskys_foods lit up East London with a special Friday‑night celebration for Jewish Culture Month! 🥒🍽️🍷
