How Much Do You
Really Know About Jewish Food?
They say the way to the heart of Judaism is through the stomach, but how much do you really know about Jewish cuisine? Are you a shlishkes savant, a gefilte genius, a matzo-ball maniac, or a falafel fail?
Test Your Hanukkah IQ
Hanukkah celebrates the victory of the Maccabees over Antiochus 2,200 years ago, and today this Jewish Festival of Lights is mostly about family and food. We light menorahs. We eat lip-smacking deep-fried foods. We play with dreidels. And the real miracle is when we actually spell “Hanukkah” right! So, how much do you really know about the holiday?
The High Holidays:
How Much Do You Actually know?
The Jewish High Holidays are nearly here. Are you one of the faithful who fasts, repents, prays, and perhaps even swings a live chicken over your head? Or do you question what the High Holidays even are? Don’t schvitz. Take our quiz and you’ll either (A) score high enough to make your bubbe proud, or (B) learn enough to make your bubbe proud.
What Kind of
Latke Are You?
You say potato, we say potato…latkes! And not the boring kind, either. Why not savor latkes with celery root or golden beets? Try a sweet potato or some shallots, for crying out loud! Sour cream and apple sauce are nice accoutrements, but go ahead: dollop a little dill on your latke; sprinkle some cinnamon; or hit it with some honey. These chosen eats are as unique as you are. But which latke are you?
