Bon Appetit magazine\u2019s 2015 article about hamantaschen<\/span><\/em>.<\/p>\n

As part of its \u201cArchive Repair Project,\u201d Bon Appetit<\/em> magazine on Wednesday changed the headline and content of a 2015 article about the Purim cookie hamantaschen and apologized for its \u201cstereotypical characterizations of Jewish culture.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In an \u201ceditor\u2019s note\u201d published at the start of the piece, the magazine said<\/a>, \u201cThe original version of this article included language that was insensitive toward Jewish food traditions and does not align with our brand\u2019s standards \u2026 We have edited the headline, dek and content to better convey the history of Purim and the goals of this particular recipe. We apologize for the previous version\u2019s flippant tone and stereotypical characterizations of Jewish culture.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The article\u2019s original headline \u201cHow to Make Actually Good Hamantaschen\u201d was changed to \u201c5 Steps to Really Good Hamantaschen.\u201d Bon Appetit <\/em>removed the sub-heading in which the article\u2019s non-Jewish writer said in \u201cfull disclosure\u201d that because she attended \u201croughly three Bar or Bat Mitzvahs a weekend during 1992\u201d and cooks professionally, she thought she could \u201cat least weigh in on the Jewish cookie department.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Among other things changed in the article\u2019s content was the description of the Jewish holiday of Purim. Writer Dawn Perry, who is also Bon Appetit<\/em>\u2018s digital food editor, originally said \u201cThe story of Purim involves a bad guy, Haman, a nice Jewish lady, Esther, and her ultimate victory over his plot to destroy the Jewish people.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Bon Appetit<\/em> also deleted six sentences about Perry\u2019s observation that Jews and non-Jews alike on the BA<\/em> staff \u201ccould only call up childhood memories of dry and sandy hamantaschen that left your mouth coated with a weird film,\u201d and her desire to \u201cconvert the haters \u2026 To create a hamantaschen that we could all enjoy, regardless of religious upbringing or tainted Hebrew School memories.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The response seemed unnecessary to some Twitter users, who found nothing offensive in the article\u2019s original text or headline.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat was supposed to offend me? I don\u2019t get it. I always liked the regular hamantaschen. I like the ones filled with poppy seeds,\u201d wrote one user<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI am mostly confused,\u201d tweeted<\/a> another. \u201c\u2026 because every hamentashen I have has been good?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
