[RebelOne]

18. I dated a Jewish guy for 5 years,

and participated in all the Jewish holidays. His mother would serve gefilte fish and I would smother it with horseradish. His mother asked me why I was using so much horseradish and I told her I just loved horseradish.

[pscot]

13. Some of my best friends

are gefilte fish.

[mucifer]

14. Yiddishe Manny if you have a half hour listen to this:

https://ia600404.us.archive.org/19/items/OTRR_Rocky_Fortune_Singles/Rocky_Fortune_54-02-09_ep18_Catskills_Cover-Up.mp3

Old time radio with Frank Sinatra starring in a murder mystery in the Catskills. It's damn funny and very Jewish from 1954.

Oh and my mom made the best gefilte fish!

[MannyGoldstein]

19. That. Is. Awesome!

Listening now... Thanks a million!

[MannyGoldstein]

29. Finished it... now I'm

looking for the matzo ball mix...

[mucifer]

30. Check your blintzes for cash!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

15. I grew up in a Jewish household

There are many Jewish delicacies I could do without including geflite fish...

Jewish delicacies I loved:

Knishes
Blintzes
Kreplach soup
Lox and Bagels

That's about it.

[JDPriestly]

46. What is Kreplach soup?

[leftynyc]

49. Kreplach are meat filled dumplings

like a wonton (but not with pork, obviously). Usually served in a chicken soup.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

[steve2470]

26. Manny's not Jewish ?

I'm really confused about context here.

[Whisp]

34. It could cross one's mind he is making fun of fried chicken and watermelon.

but no, that just could not be!

[JI7]

45. yup

[Autumn]

62. It could cross one's mind that he is being supportive

of this OP.

[MannyGoldstein]

28. Vern zol fun dir a blintshik, un di kats zol dikh khapn! nt

[DesertFlower]

39. translation.

May you turn into a blintz and be snatched by a cat.

[Aerows]

25. It looks delicious

When should I show up for dinner?

[MannyGoldstein]

32. You'll be happy to know that raccoons are treif

Now the raccoons need to understand that *people* are treif!

[Aerows]

37. LMAO

I will never live that down, but I would like to eat some of that fish

[question everything]

27. Huh? Don't worry. I think that the gefilte fish can take care of themselves

as long as surrounded by the gelatinous sauce, (red) horseradish and carrots.

[DesertFlower]

31. a little out of context. the other

night i had dinner with my friends. he's jewish. she's not. i was talking about knishes. she asked "what's a knish"? i couldn't believe it. they've been married for 8 years.

i'm not jewish but i'm a former new yorker. she's from colorado.

[MannyGoldstein]

33. Perhaps you could send her a care package?

Knishes, bialys, and pastrami.

Oof, this is making me hungry!

[DesertFlower]

36. a few months ago we went out for deli.

she had a corned beef sandwich and chicken soup. her husband and i had matzo ball soup with our sandwiches. they had knishes there. had i known i would have showed her one. she knows what bagels are. not sure about the bialys.

i'm in knish withdrawal. gabila's in L.I., NY had a fire back in october. the machine that fries the knishes was damaged. i just read that they finally got a new one. right now there's a country-wide shortage. about 6 years ago they started to carry them here in phoenix in the freezer department.

BTW. the nearest deli is 23 miles each way. oy vey. the only thing i miss about new york is the food. we lived in a predominantly jewish neighborhood. there were 3 jewish take out places within walking distance.

another funny story. my friend in new york is jewish. her husband is italian. when they had their son's bris she had it catered kosher. in comes her mother in law with a huge box of canoles. her son rushed her into the bedroom where they hid them under the bed.

[2naSalit]

42. Don't forget

the pickled green tomatoes!

[Autumn]

58. OMG I love pickled green tomatoes!

I ended up with 8 jars of them last fall.

[2naSalit]

69. Because one of my

Grandparents was Jewish, I had lots of food from the delis around Beantown and any city we lived near in New England during my childhood. I loved knishes with pickled green tomatoes and matzoh. But I have always had a thing for most pickled veggies, meat an fish, not so much... actually not at all!

[Timez Squarez]

50. I'm a native Coloradan and I perfectly understand.

I didn't know what a knish was until I married a New Yorker. Now I only like potato knish.

And you can get them at the local kosher deli here, but they aren't exactly New York style.

[DesertFlower]

65. nothing is like new york food. that's why

i buy the gabila's frozen ones. i only like the potato too.

[MNBrewer]

35. Ham, and not eating whatever-the-heck-gefilte-fish is are two benefits of being Goyim

and bacon.....

and gay buttsex. YAY!

Screw Leviticus!

[MannyGoldstein]

38. Goyishe Lutefisk.

I've never known a Jew to be hung up on Leviticus. I'm sure there are some loopy ones, but the bizarre Leviticus fetish seems to be more of a christian fundy thing.

[2naSalit]

43. I'll eat gefilte fish

loooong before I could sneak up on a heap of Lutefisk!! That stuff is eweewww! And you know it when you get close by the fishy aroma. Nothing helps that stuff, other than a jar to put it on before you throw it out.

Now gefilte fish, if you have to eat fish, isn't so bad.

[kwassa]

40. Shaygetz that I am, I like gefilte fish.

but this thread sucks as a joking reference to the chicken and watermelon thread.

[JI7]

44. yup

[KT2000]

41. Gefilte fish

should come in cans or at least dark brown jars so it cannot be seen. Same with that Norwegian fish in a jar.

[jmowreader]

48. You know you're fucked when they sell this product this way

http://www.gefiltefish.com/category.asp?categoryID=52

"Surprisingly appealing."

No kidding. That's what it says.

[Cofitachequi]

52. That ad campaign is only slightly better than the second runner up....

"Gefiltefish!!! It doesn't suck nearly as bad as you think!!!!"

[MannyGoldstein]

56. Or...

Gefilte fish: preferred 2:1 over lutefisk.

[Cofitachequi]

63. like

[jmowreader]

68. These guys' gefilte fish looks like it sucks very little

This is frozen, and from the ingredients statement it looks like a fish meatloaf. They give you instructions for simmering this thing with vegetables, but I think it would be pretty good (yes, I know this is gefilte fish!) if you baked it.

[Autumn]

53. Quick question and I don't mean to offend. Is that like sardines in a can?

Cause I really like those. Mainly the ones in hot sauce. On edit, I see it isn't. I may have to try that though. It does sound good and has almost the same ingredients in my Mothers salmon loaf.

[MannyGoldstein]

55. Like a slightly-gelatinous salmon loaf

And me? Offended? *Almost* impossible!

[Autumn]

57. I will have to buy some my next trip into town

a slightly-gelatinous salmon loaf sounds like it would be rather tasty.

[Warpy]

59. Gefilte fish is fine

Chopped liver, you can keep.

[MannyGoldstein]

60. I *love* chopped liver

But I love tongue sandwiches too, so I may not be normal.

[Timez Squarez]

66. Best chopped liver - Romanian's in Chicago.

Hands down best chopped liver..

You can get good tongue there too. I go nuts for hot tongue sandwich.

[Autumn]

70. I've never had hot tongue sandwich. When I was young my Mother

would make tongue in aspic. Loved it. Good stuff

[Sgent]

64. I kind of agree

that there is a line between cultural foods and racism.

For what's its worth, growing up in the deep south, and as a reform Jew whose congregation was instrumental in civil rights protests, I try to have as much sensitivity as possible, but even I'm at a loss as to how to draw the line.

There is no question in my mind that watermelon has significant racist connotations. Fired chicken, greens (mustard, collard, etc.), gravy, etc. were seen as southern, but not racist. That being said, a lot of people of all races eat and enjoy both foods.

Would I see a traditional Jewish meal served as part of of Holocaust remembrance as antisemitic? No. That being said, traditional Jewish foods aren't identified with antisemitism. On the other hand, I would have much greater suspicions with teaching Dreidel games using gelt during the same remembrance.

[malthaussen]

71. And here I thought Chinese was the traditional Yiddish food. n/t

[sakabatou]

72. Yummy

[JustAnotherGen]

73. Didn't you post an apology for this? eom

[bettyellen]

74. No- Manny would NEVER chide African Americans or

Women for being oversensitive about issues he claims to know jack shit about.
Stuff like that never happens here!

[redqueen]

75. No, he's being supportive!

No, really!

[brush]

76. Do you really think that?

IMO his post is insensitive. Derogatory stereotypes are insulting and not to be mocked for laughs.

Trying too hard for a not-so-funny joke.

Don't get why people think his stchick is so brilliant.
