- Cholent / This combination of noxious gases had been the secret weapon of Jews for centuries. The unique combination of beans, barley, potatoes, and bones or meat is meant to stick to your ribs and anything else it comes into contact with. At a fancy Mexican restaurant (kosher of course) I once heard this comment from a youngster who had just had his first taste of Mexican fried beans: 'What! Do they serve leftover cholent here too?!' My wife once tried something unusual for guests: She made cholent burgers for Sunday night supper. The guests never came back.

- Gefilte Fish / A few years ago, I had problems with my filter in my fish pond and a few of them got rather stuck and mangled. My son (5 years old) looked at them and commented 'Is that why we call it 'Ge Filtered Fish'?' Originally, it was a carp stuffed with a minced fish and vegetable mixture. Today it usually comprises of small fish balls eaten with horse radish ('chrain') which is judged on its relative strength in bringing tears to your eyes at 100 paces.

- Kasha Varnishkes / One of the little-known delicacies which is even more difficult to pronounce than to cook. It has nothing to do with Varnish, but is basically a mixture of buckwheat and bow-tie macaroni (noodles). Why a bow-tie? Many sages discussed this and agreed that some Jewish mother decided that 'You can't come to the table without a tie' or, G-d forbid 'An elbow on my table?'

- Kishka / You know from Haggis? Well, this ain't it. In the old days they would take an intestine and stuff it. Today we use parchment paper or plastic. And what do you stuff it with? Carrots, celery, onions, flour, and spices. But the trick is not to cook it alone but to add it to the cholent (see below) and let it cook for 24 hours until there is no chance whatsoever that there is any nutritional value left.

- Kreplach / It sounds worse than it tastes. There is a Rabbinical debate on its origins. One Rabbi claims it began when a fortune cookie fell into his chicken soup. The other claims it started in an Italian restaurant. Either way it can be soft, hard, or soggy and the amount of meat inside depends on whether it is your mother or your mother-in-law who cooked it.

- Latin Caribbean Food (ac)
- Latkes / A pancake-like structure not to be confused with anything the House of Pancakes would put out. In a latka, the oil is in the pancake. It is made with potatoes, onions, eggs and matzo meal. Latkas can be eaten with apple sauce and sour cream but NEVER with maple syrup although some of us cover them with sugar. There is a rumor that in the time of the Maccabees they lit a latka by mistake and it burned for eight days. What is certain is you will have heart burn for the same amount of time. It's a GOOD thing.

- Matzohs / The Egyptians' revenge for leaving slavery. It consists of a simple mix of flour and water - no eggs or flavor at all. When made well, it actually tastes like cardboard. It's redeeming value is that it does fill you up and stays with you for a long time. Great wih butter or peanut butter. -- or simply eaten raw. The only things better than matzoh with butter is a Kaiser roll with butter and a bagel with butter. Matzohs are also known as condensed calories.
