Market: Anuj Gupta and People

market: The meal was part of Breaking Bread; Breaking Barriers, a yearlong program that brings people of different backgrounds together for a meal featuring their cultural favourites bridging differences one plate at a time, according to Metro News. People cooking and eating together happens every day, but it doesn't often happen across our social boundaries, said Anuj Gupta, general manager of Reading Terminal Market, the historic and sprawling indoor market and home to the program. But when dinner was served, the guests seated and plates bearing foods of three different cultures shared, it all made sense. It's an incredibly powerful tool to cut through whatever social barriers you want to erect. Members of the African-American and Korean communities have come together to compare fried chicken recipes. Jews and Muslims have shared Jewish apple cake and baklava as part of the program. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
