Oh good, I was not the only one.

I did not read the article or comments yet and still do not know what this is about so it will be a surprise.

My guess: someone found, in a cache made in a kitchen in Miami, a book with Jewish recipes (food) written in an "encypted" way so that they stay secret. The recipes date back to 13th century.

It sounds like the title of a Cluedo game.

"crypto" jewish means jews living in secrecy about their religion because of persecution.

Yes, I found that out when reading the article. I never heard that expression.

I was 40% wrong but the read was interesting.

The part about dishes being too eggy when done with today's eggs is a sign of times.

I also read a bit recently about kushrut after listening on a Jewish radio in France a discussion about whether a Jew can have a coffee in a in a bar (in France). The dissecting of the various components of the act (coffee, water, milk, the kind of cup,...) was fascinating.
