Who invented the yiddish word "Kvetch?" Probably the Polish Jews. That says something. My people came from south of the"Gefilte Fish" line where you ate it "eem sukar" (remember the famous and funny "Olim" TV sketch?) All the knocks on Polish food should be directed to those who came from the north and beyond into Lithuania. They ate bland dreary foods. Being half Romanian half Ukranian, I ate GOOD tasty spicy food! Ask my Moroccan husband. He loves the stuff!

polish jewish meal if you life depended on it. I am fired of Mergez, Cigars and sticky pastries and ala panim dafena. You can have your tomato sauce everything, along with the 1000 variations on eggplants. Coucous hummous whatever..foget about it. I am sick of it. And yes I am of Polish Jewish decent and I am not a leftist. Right wing is too left for me. Give me flanken or give me death. Overcooked chicken ..Yummy. Overcooked lochshen even better. Sweet lochshen kuggel ...Yummy. Matzo Brei,,,,You bet Homen Tashen with appricot jam..right on. Oily thin potato laktes...delic.

no confusions over here.

But can you make matzah balls that float?

And I assume that you can understand Russian since you are so confident about what they say? Or was it translated to you by a well-wisher? Perhaps we should stop demonizing the "Russians" and take a look at the the last names of those fallen in 2nd Lebanon War -- quite a few of them are "Russian", sadly. I can guarantee you they spoke much better Hebrew then you.

I see you've been 'following me!' {:>) Let's take a poll! All those who think I'm a 'loon,' please raise your hands! lol

Chaya...you are a lovely, warm hearted lady and a real mensch... Don´t let an empty headed comment get to you at all...when was the last time someone came up with a good cure for a cold by the way..???

Look at the facts my friend, it the Eastern Jews that want are annihilation. They are the most conservative politically, relgiously and socially. The kibbutz Jews and many more educated Ashkenazis from the older generation have worked longer for peace and have more sympathy and compassion for the Palestinean people as a whole.

not as tasty as Morrocan, but vodka and saurkraut are good for you! Borscht and chicken schmaltz on potato too.
