Here’s a story in our series Hudson Valley Food History. Growing up in the New York’s Hudson Valley, I played hockey from the sixth grade until my senior year in high school. and The culinary habits formed then are still with me today. Rinks snack bars exposed me to bagels, large New York City style pretzels best eaten with mustard on them, and knishes. A knish is seasoned potato puree inside a golden colored crust. I still have a taste for that kind of food today although it should be eaten in moderation.
