title: Seated at the Sabbath table with Rashi and Rambam.
abstract: The food habits of two renowned Jewish scholars of the early medieval period, Rashi and Rambam, are examined in light of their locale, religious practice, and the times in which they lived. Their contributions to Jewish life are noted and their understanding of their own food-related customs and nutritional principles are reviewed, as are the foods available to them.
