Buying and food preparation patterns of ghetto blacks and Hispanics in Brooklyn

Differences in food buying and food preparation practices of blacks and Hispanics in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, New York, are analyzed. There were significant variations related to ethnicity, but few differences resulting from the mothers' age and education. The two groups appeared to have many compatible practices which could be improved by the same educational programs, if they were taught in both English and Spanish.
