No pics, but I had chicken matzo ball soup. NOM.
Chicken soup with carrots and celery, with a matzo ball in the middle, made with matzo crumbs, egg, a lil water.
And I also had a potato knish, which is potato with a pastry outside.
Kinda looked like these, but this was a nice and brown all over, flaky, and heated to perfection. MMMMMM.....
First, some fresh jewish corn beef. Haven't had it since I was a kid.
Next, a sour pickled green tomato (Jewish style of course!) to compare to the ones my mom made this past winter.
Last....
HAVLAH! This one is sold in half pound blocks like this, and is marbled with chocolate, as you can see. :) It is a sweet sesame cake I guess you would call it, but it's not like cake cake, its a slab of this stuff. A bit like grainy fudge I guess is the consistency. It's good, just as I don't like sesame much it takes me a loooong time to finish anything this big. It lasts me more than a month haha!
What amazing foods, ryn!!!! I haven't eaten anything like this since my last visit to NY!!! AMAZING!!
ReplyDeleteAmazing indeed. ^^ The halvah looks so yummy. It totally reminds me of the Arab type. That one is also made of sesame seeds, and yes, you're not supposed to eat that one immediately, too. It's heavy stuff, and what my mum calls, "warm food". It lasts forever alright. Haha ^^
