Some good sh t: Spice line at Petersburg shop named a Yiddish word, a compliment
The four-letter title of the spice line sold at Sweet Dixie is a nod to its creator s Jewish roots. It s also an example of Marla Cohen s zany sense of humor.
The Progress-Index
PETERSBURG Contrary to what some might think, Bg Brinkley does not necessarily see the word shit as a curse word. It s been anything but a curse for her business.
Brinkley, the owner of the Sweet Dixie on North Sycamore Street, sells a line of spices called, well . Super Shit.
It s the brainchild of Chef Marla Cohen, whose wicked sense of humor shows in the line of spices she produces. The name is an homage to a Yiddish method of cooking shit arein , (pronounced shi-tah-RINE), where a hodgepodge of ingredients is tossed into the recipe. Chef Marla, who is Jewish, learned the method from her great-grandmother.
