Knishes- not the heavy wrapped version ( have you ever suffered the square deep fried version?-feh! but mashed potato ovals with fried onions filled with hand chopped cooked beef, dipped in matzo meal and fried in a thin layer of oil. Nor can I forget her kreplach, fried with onions, my brother's favorite.And pot roast a thousand different recipes depending on the grandma, gefulte fish, cookies made with oil not butter, home made chrain....the list goes on and on but to be REALLY Jewish food it has to be served by a bubba with an accent who stands over you, serving more and more with the admonition 'eat mommeleh,eat'.FJKramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06139281691705572456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17839197.post-74800003857048220442010-05-06T18:40:15.448-07:002010-05-06T18:40:15.448-07:00As usual, an incisive, comprehensive, and always t...As usual, an incisive, comprehensive, and always thought-provoking essay from you!

I couldn't agree more with all you said, and am honored to have been included.<br /><br />also, one reason i feel so strongly and am touched so deeply when i discover or bring back to life a dish from a destroyed community is that in a small way it brings that jewish community back to life. in a small way. there is, as you say, the terrible-ness of seeing as mimi sheraton did: not a bialy left in bialystok! tragic. <br /><br />but bialys are alive in nyc. eat one there and know that we are still alive and well and eating! <br /><br />marlenamarlena spielerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03269894770387796783noreply@blogger.com
