It's time someone said this to the Jews

I'm Italian and I LOVE Jewish food. All of it.

You don't have to be Jewish to love Jewish food.

You can convert but they'll never really accept you as one of them.

R3 Fuck off! Convert OP, and Welcome!

OP you sound like a fat Goy.

There's lots to enjoy about Jewish culture but the food ain't part of that.

Everyone knows the proto-Koreans invented most of the Jewish foods.

Chocolate babka, sure. We've also got Eliad Cohen.

R6 Jews adapted the cuisines of the countries they lived in, adding Jewish elements to many of the dishes. Bagels are not specifically Polish, there are Eastern European and can be found from Romania all the way to Russia.

R8 Hon, to have a body like that, Eliad stays far away from the babka, the rugelach and the sufganiot.

I love jewish food.

[R9] Chag urim sameach!

"Jews adapted the cuisines of the countries they lived in, adding Jewish elements to many of the dishes."

>>> "the babka, the rugelach and the sufganiot."

What's odd is that here in England, these 'Jewish dishes' are unheard of.

I'd never heard of rugelach until I went to New York and I've never heard of those other two, ever.

I guess it's a bit like Spaghetti with meatballs. It seems to be an Italian AMERICAN concoction.

But it wouldn't hoit.

Since OP is a stupid fat whore for not posting a recipe ...

R11 Gam lecha. First candle night 6 Dec. Get out the oil and start frying up those latkes and sufganiot!

Sufganiot is donuts in Hebrew. They are traditionally made and eaten at Channukkah.

Babke and rugelach are both available in England at Jewish bakeries.

I love the chicken soup with matzoh balls, varenikes, farfaleh, chrein...

Rugelah it seems they do.

Babke....never heard if it.

BITD, Horn and Hardart used to make a sensational cinnamon/nut babka. It was baked in a Turk's head pan(that's what my mom called it) and was delightfully melting-ly doughy/brioche-y. I'm assuming from its shape it was supposed to represent a grandmother's full and voluminous skirts. Never had a chocolate one, but there's a Polish bakery here in Philly that specializes in it. May have to take a little ride over there, and pick up a few Stock's poundcake on the way. I'm a terrific baker, and have always wished I could make poundcake as good as they do.

I like all of their food.

Babka is an eastern European sweet bread/cake thing that is made at Easter. Sort of like a heavier, drier panettone. Find a Polish shop and these will have them, particularly at Easter. Sufganiot are just doughnuts and rugelach is a genuine Jewish pastry that looks a bit like a croissant. Pretty sure you will find these at a branch of Grodzinski or Carmelli in London.

Trader Joe's has a surprisingly tasty Chocolate Babka. I wonder who actually makes it for them.

I think the Trader Joe's babka is made by Green's bakery in Brooklyn. They taste very similar (and I've found that babka can vary widely among manufacturers).

New York's Babka Baron

But is it made with the blood of innocent Christian tots?

[quote]Sufganiot are just doughnuts

Sufganiah (singular, Sufganiot, plural) is a plain, sweet donut, no filling, of Polish origin, eaten at Channukkah as part of the Channukkah tradition of eating food fried in oil in memory the Channukkah miracle. In Israel, sufganiot are filled with jelly, custard, halva, butterscotch, chocolate, etc.

People are much like the foods they eat. That's why Bernie Sanders will be elected president, at least in the hearts of his supporters.

Thank you also for smoked salmon, cream cheese, and poppy seed bagels.

I like rugelach, but I love Gefilte fish. I don't care how strange the name is and how much sugar is actually in it, I just love it.

This chick is fun and does a lot of modern twists on Jewish comfort food.

I went to Sheepshead Bay to catch gefilte. All I got was Coney Island Whitefish. New Yorkers will know what I mean.

I want a babka. The food is all I really miss about NYC.

I love chulent, which is a kind of Jewish chili, based on beans and usually shredded beef. They sometimes would serve it after services when there was a kiddish; they had something like a slow cooker going since you're not supposed to actually cook on Shabbos when you're really religious, so the chulent had been already made, but had been marinating overnight and tasted delicious. Some delis, like 2nd Avenue Deli, still sell their own chulent. Delicious.

I also love kreplach, which Bette Midler used to love to say with emphasis as a joke. They are basically beef dumplings, usually served in chicken soup. Also love beef flanken, yummy stewed beef. This Cuban-Chinese place on UWS used to serve something close to it -- I think it was carne guisada. Yum!

It's okay if someone serves it to me, but it's nothing I would ever ask for.

For me the food is too bland and colorless or white (excepting beets, FFS.), and has all of the appeal of Ethiopian food but less flavor. The foods I like that are much more cross-cultural, more generically Mediterranean foods than Jewish food, or there are better versions of couscous or bazargan or borekas from other places/cultures. For all that, carciofi alla giudìa is one of the best foods in the world, but, again, more Italian in my mind for being pretty specific to Rome.

STOP ENABLING THE IDIOT THREAD BUMPER.

There aren't too many things to do during the pandemic but eat, so why not?

I love Jewish food from gefilte to bagels. But babka is underwhelming.

I love knishes, too. Chopped liver and stuffed derma, as well, though I can understand those are more acquired tastes. Noodle pudding is nice as well. Plus a nice brisket of beef! Some nice charoses (mixture of nuts, wine and apples usually) served at Passover is great too.

Green's Babka is the best. It is available at my local authentic Brooklyn Bagel shop, Izzy's, and it is delicious at any time of the day or night. I prefer cinnamon, but it is best to get chocolate as well and alternate the taste sensations.

Browns bakery in North Hollywood ( now closed) was featured in the seinfeld episode about choc. babka. They had the best Choc babka. it came in a round tin. My mother used to get a couple of them a week to serve with coffee to her friends. one of my favorite desserts, although probably too fattening. I was a skinny kid who could get away with eating anything and not gaining weight.

R22–sssshhh!
