OK
Did they ever write about the health danger of fasting from food and water all day and then gorging the moment the sun disappears?
No. Because they love muzzies and hate Jews.
Bump
Yeah, but our vaccines, particularly Gardasil, and pharmaceuticals are saving lives... /S
Thanks for the potato pancakes recipes. My mother made them a few times but she never liked to share how she cooked.
I always thought it was a Polish dish.
I liked latkes but my assignment was grating the potatoes and onions. my mother would not make them unless I did the grating. Yes latkes were featured at Hanukkah parties, children loved them. The basic recipe is grate potato and onion. Squeeze out all the water, Add a bit of flour, salt and pepper. And fry them up! Potato to onions in a 4 to 1 ratio.
They were fried in chicken fat aka schmaltz so were more letrhal back then but nobody knew this so we survived.
Potatoes to onions about 4 to 1 for latkes. Polish cuisine has them too.

I haven’t had a good knish in years. It’s like pretzels. If you lived in Brooklyn and moved away. Those little things in life are not the same in other places.
I love my taters too, anyway you can fix them.
I told a friend that once and he said, “what about raw?” I said yes, just put a little salt on them. Yum!
Over the years I have seen many articles saying that Muslim gain weight during ramadan. They pig out before dawn with a breakfast and go to town after the sun sets. Muslims make war during Ramadan...it is not a holy month except in the minds of Muslim nutjobs.
I’ll take my chances, Compost.
A tiny bit off topic, but have to say here that a relative who worked or works on a very large farm in North Dakota told me many moons ago that if we saw what they spray potato plants with, no one would ever eat another potato.
At least we cook potatoes-——it’s the uncooked veggies that bother me.

Chanuka is a holiday celebrating a miracle. The Syrian-Greeks invaded the holy Temple and defiled it with all manner of salacious acts. They deliberately broke all the vessels of consecrated oil used to light sacred lights in the Temple. When the time came to light those lights, only a small vessel--a supply sufficient only for a single day--could be found. It was a 4 day journey each way to the nearest town with a supply of the consecrated oil--8 days in all. G-d made a miracle and the little vessel of oil lasted all 8 days until a new supply could be brought. Thus, Chanukah is the Festival of Lights and oil gets top billing as a character in this play. The miracle revolved around the oil, so we commemorate this by lighting our menorah, increasing the number of candles lit by one each night, and by eating foods fried in oil. For Ashkenazic (Eastern European) Jews, fried latkes (potato pancakes) are the major Chanukah treat. Sephardic (North African and Spanish) Jews have their own special Chanukah treat - sufganiyot, a type of jelly filled fried donut. They are also delicious beyond belief, a true rival for latkes.
Who wants to live without potatoes???
The New York Times attacked Latka? How could they attack such a funny comedic character as “Latka” of “TAXI”? This is horrible, and the suggestion of putting ketchup on him is disgusting.
Next they will be attacking Carol Kane as a substitute for Candy Canes.
Have they no decency? No sense of humus? No concern for Jewish comedians esp. at Chanukah time?
What is the world coming to? Oh the tsorus of it all!
I am so sick of these social engineers telling us everything we do, that we love, that we practice, that we watch or listen to is BAD and EVIL....
Yep - add onions then garnish with hot sauce and ketchup......
I’ve eaten latkes before. They’re yummy! And I’m a Christian (though I was merely a Gentile at the time).
I’ve also had kugel a number of times, including some good stuff at the DC Chapter’s Christmas parties in the recent past.
If French fries were still fried in lard, they would actually be healthier. Nowadays, they’re typically fried in vegetable oil (trans fats), as far as I know, except maybe in places where trans fats have been banned.
