Ketchup, have some cholent! But first, have some gefilte fish. And some chicken soup. With kneidlach. Have some kishke to go with it. We have three kinds of kugel -- which would you like? Oh, go ahead, just take some of each. I hope you saved room for strudel and rugelach!

Right back at you. Put lots of horseradish (chraine) on the gefilte fish. It kills the taste. We wouldn't eat it any other way!

Can either of you ladies explain to me what exactly a Cholent is? I'm left out in the dark and I want to come into the light!

It's defined on... I think the first or second page of the thread. It's technically any dish that cooks a long time over low heat or in a slow oven or in the crockpot, so you can have a hot dish on the Sabbath without cooking. Usually, in practice, it refers to a stew-type dish, often with meat, sometimes with a, well, for lack of a better word, dumpling-type thing on top.
Tante, I'd take your word for it and try it, but horseradish is out right now-- pregnancy heartburn, you know. Posts: 21182 | Registered: Sep 2004

My parents will feed all of you. Really. Sometimes my friends will just stop my parents' for a meal when they go to NYC.
The important thing to understand about gefilte is that it is just a delivery vehicle. It's the Jewish equivalent of white bread. It's all about what you put on it. Which must, must be horseradish. Or wasabi. Wasabi works well too.

Tante, I picked up the mayo bit when I was at Breuers. You know, in Manhattan?
And wasabi is even worse than chrain. Horseradish! >_< Properly made gefilte fish is no mere "white bread" vehicle.

I was talking about the bottled junk that most non-Jews are familiar with. That stuff is just nasty once you hit puberty or so.

I like wasabi a lot. I love horseradish, but I'm talking the creamy kind you put on roast beef. "Prepared" horseradish--did I get that right?--not so much.

It's my favorite Sinhalese word.
