  title = {Toronto Blueberry Buns: History, Community, Memory},
  abstract = {Unlike other Jewish memory foods such as homemade gefilte fish or matzo ball soup, blueberry buns were virtually unknown to Jews living outside Toronto, Ontario. Yet these sweet, yeasty baked goods were a well-loved treat that trigger memories for those who remember eating them in downtown Toronto between the 1930's and the 1950's. For those who grew up during that era, blueberry buns represent childhood, summertime, and visits with friends and family. This article explores the cultural significance of blueberry buns, as well as attempts to solve several mysteries that surround this Toronto treat: where the recipe came from, why the buns became so popular, and why the treats remained solely within the boundaries of Toronto.
