+Smashton Are you Romaniote? There are not many left. There is an American-Jewish guy I know from New York, who is of Romaniote background, though. It used to drive him crazy because both American Jews and Israeli Jews would confuse Romaniote Jews (the Jewish population that lived in Greece before the Sephardic Jews came in 1492) with Romanian Jews. He'd say he was Romaniote Jewish -- and people would say "Oh, from where in Romania?" and then he'd say "No, we are Greek Jews" and then some people would just be confused (not knowing that there were any Jews at all in Greece) and others who knew just a little bit more would say "Greek Jewish? So you're Sephardic!" To make it more confusing, his wife was actually Romanian (half Romanian non-Jewish and half Romanian-Jewish) so their kids were Romaniote *AND* Romanian.
Coming from a Jewish family, that guy who said he'd have sex with the matzah ball soup I can say is an accurate representation of just about everyone's opinion on it. I agree with it personally for sure.
Pikachu Plays I'm Jewish as well, and every Tuesday, we go to this awesome deli by our house just to get matzah ball soup and strawberry rugelach. sooooo good!!
Allison Thompson I'm not actually Jewish, I was born jewish and am now atheist, but that doesn't mean I can't still love the culture and food. Jewish delis are just incredible
exactly. like that gefilte fish looked disgustingg unloved store bought grossness. My moms gefilte fish looks nothing like that and is amazing. lol. Same with the matzo ball soup. Like that soup looked bland and tasteless af...
Maybe the kugel was made poorly. Even so, I can't help wondering, how is something that's like a combination of mac 'n' cheese and cake be a bad thing?
That made me want to cry. latkes are like the warm hug from my childhood. Maybe if they do a polish food one then they'll have them try latkes. wishful thinking here.

Sephardi Jews are pretty much unheard of in the US. Since something like 95-98% of American Jews are Ashkenazi, we're the ones that pop into mind when Jewish is talked about. Also, a lot of sephardic food is just Arab and North African food that they picked up.
Pardon my ignorance but what’s the difference between the types of Jewish people? Like what separates you guys? Ideology? Interpretation? Ethnicity?

"This is what I call some white people food." - Hot Asian Guy He's handsome and hilarious. My crush on him is strong. Buzzfeed needs to release his first name. I hate calling him "Hot Asian Guy".
i love all of these probably because i grew up with them, but i have never eaten choped liver(כבד קצוץ) with celery sticks and i have never eaten gelfilte fish with lettuce. also, no one cals it matza ball soup its called kneidalach. also, i dont know anyone thats says manischewitz we call it tirosh and its f-in delicious.
actually some people call it matzah ball soup. All the jewish people I know (which is a lot, especially because I'm jewish) call it matzoh ball soup. I think it's probably just a regional thing
luna As someone who speaks both German and Yiddish, I'd say Yiddish is bastardized German mixed with Hebrew at best. Many of the words are the same but have different meanings. For instance, in German, "Mensch" just means man/person whereas in Yiddish, it means a man/person of substance who is honorable, respectable, etc.
Jesse Friedman Actually Yiddish is just a language that developed among many European Jews, it's a mix of multiple different languages including Polish, Turkish, some Hebrew and most obviously, German. It's its own language with its own culture, that happens to have lots of mixed origins.
Non-Jews are smart enough to not eat Chopped Liver. That stuff is disgusting, nasty, and terrible. Challah, good home-made Gafilta Fish, Matzah Ball Soup - fucking fantastic delicious! Raisin challah makes me want to go to temple just to get some, sometimes......
I love chopped liver! I grew up in NY, and it was at almost every party. I thought everyone loves chopped liver. And matzo ball soup? Love it. I'm not Jewish, but I love the food. And oh yeah- I make a mean matzo ball.
Justin Conquerbeard haha i guess so! people will get offended by air, like honestly none of this was at all ignorant or offensive. trying new things and exploring new cultures is probably the least ignorant thing someone can do.
Sophie Parker Exactly. You don't have to like the food, because everyone's palate is different. But they always go into these taste tests with open minds and that's all that matters. Hell, just making the effort to branch out and try something new is a good way to live - you might even something you love that you didn't even know existed. :D

Most of these foods have so much variation that two preparations of the same dish can taste almost nothing like each other. Usually, you like your mother's. :) Gefilte fish: This tastes really different if it's served hot or cold. It can also be made with different fish as ingredients. Kugel: The kugel they had was noodle kugel, but I think they'd have been better off with potato kugel. Various foods with little in common other than being flat and baked/cooked in a pan are called "kugel," for example, luckshin (noodle) kugel, potato kugel, apple kugel, and Yerushalmi kugel (different noodles, dark and spicy). I think Yerushalmi has the most consistent taste - the others vary a lot. I would also like to note that non-Hasidic Jews also eat kugel, knowledge or lack thereof about mystical powers notwithstanding. Chopped liver: The look might put you off if you're not used to it, but it tastes good. (Rugelach: Heh. There was no way anyone was going to dislike those.) Manischewitz: That's just a brand of wine, not a traditional Jewish drink... There are many other Jewish wine brands - if you're a wine afficionado, I'd suggest the Baron Herzog line. If you want to know what Jewish people who aren't wine afficionados drink, you can also go with Kedem. Finally, these foods are all from the Ashkenazic tradition (Western European Jews). Sephardic food is nothing like it
i am with you on that. Ashkenazi and safardik Jews have different taste towards some of these foods, and some of these foods i have never even heard of. Does that mean i am a bad Jew haha
this foods are mostly ashkenasi, i as an ashkenazi enjoy them but spharadi jews eat totally differently and just as an information, real rugalach are totally different and way better!!!
EHUDI, Food shown in the clip is not "Jewish" food. This is an AMERICAN food. American "gefilte fish" is like American Jews - no smell, no look, no taste. If you were offered REAL Jewish food we've pull you away by your ears from the table. Why the commentaries at Jewish clips are mostly from the idiots?
I'm not Jewish but My mother worked for Jewish families so I've always had these foods around, as a youth I was stand off-ish but as an adult I love the stuff
I was once walking in downtown NYC and some jewish lady looked and laughed at me and said "the eighties called they want their shirt back." I said "the forties called, your showers ready."
+Dylan Seidel It's not white people food. IT'S JEWISH FOOD! When are people going to realize that Jews are not white. Jews can have white skin or if they are a convert they can be genetically white but for the most part most Jews are genetically different from from white people and our DNA can be traced back to the middle east.
+Meirstein You know what's really a great idea? Jews attacking each other, because the rest of humanity loves us SO MUCH. What's that saying? A house divided can not fall, right? :)
I was the chef in a kosher meat kitchen for five years and you miss named the kugel. What you served was sweet noodle kugel. Kugel means pudding and can be sweet or savory. I became a huge fan of Jewish cuisine while working there. When it's made right, sweet noodle kugel as well as savory potato kugel rock!
I do admit, Israel has some damn good pastries. I remember when I was in Jerusalem on Friday before Shabbat began and all the bakeries were PACKED. It was awesome. The pastries are delicious too. Especially the challah bread. Now I wanna go back to Israel. It's so beautiful there! Especially seeing the Western Wall on Shabbat! What an unforgettable experience and I would love to go back someday.
My mom grew up Jewish and my dad Christian. We're now atheist. Every other Passover we celebrate with my family. I know almost no Hebrew and just sit there for five hours singing random Hebrew, eating food, and wondering what I would be doing if I wasn't there. But I love Passover XD
Gefilte fish is awesome, but it takes some getting used to. Kugel, I've never hated, but I've never been a big fan of it. Matzah ball soup looks very simple, usually a matzah ball in a broth and sometimes with a few veggies, but tastes awesome. Chopped liver is something I've never had before. I didn't even know it was Jewish in origin. It doesn't surprise me, though, now that I think about it. Rugelach is awesome. Manischewitz ("w" pronounced like a "v") is something I've never had before because I'm under age, but I've heard that it's really good. I still cannot get over the fact that they forgot latkes and baked apples.
as a jew this was very interesting to watch.... and I'm gonna say that if every person in this video went to a shabbat dinner they would love it (the food and the atmosphere)
Without entering the whole religion war/game I'd like to say a few words -I am a Jewish ( Israeli teen well not so young as a teen more like a young adult ) but let's move on I have the exact same response to most of the food as they do on the video I think it's safe to say that food is a human nature that crosses and bridges all of us -I like how they described the food as compressed and thought the mazzaball is like a sponge in a bath that is absolutely funny even though everyone has it's own opinion it's very accepted that our food is quite on the compressed side and you can compare it to funny things : you made my day I can't erase the smile on my face :)
1 gefilte dish only tastes good if it's home made 2 the only good kind of Kugel is potato Kugel 3 MATZA BALL SOUP IS AMAZING 4 only the REALLY old ppl eat chopped liver 5 YUMMMM 6 I don't even know anyone who has had that YOU MISSED ALL THE BEST FOODS
@@freakyj3175 i know this is 2 years late (lol its exactly what u wrote too) but i think he just dont know the name.. i never knew this word.. i use the word tirosh for manischewitz.
I'm both Sephardic and Ashkenazic. My favorite "Jewish" foods are Challah, matzah ball soup, hummus etc. I'm part Turkish and I'm trying to be more connected with that side of my heritage so I have been eating more Sephardic/Turkish food recently. I also hate gefilte fish and chopped liver haha
Hannah K678 hummus is not jewish sweetheart. hummus is a palestinian food. Stop trying to hijack it. and i dont want to hear the arab jewish alibi. Hummus will always be our food!
For the Holiday tonight I have made three types of chicken (we're having 12 guests over on Friday, the second day of the Holiday), several side dishes, my own recipe of gefilte fish (somewhat spicy), pareve ice cream (i.e., no dairy), and we're going to have potato kugel, apple kugel, challah (of course), Kedem wine, not Manishewitz!, and whatever else that I can't recall.
For side dishes we had potato salad (not particularly Jewish, I suppose), white rice, Lukishin Mit Braizil (pasta with fried bread crumbs), both gefilte fish (my recipe, as I mentioned) AND baked salmon, and other stuff I can't recall. The three types of chicken were Crispy Bake Chicken (sort of like the old Shake-and-Bake Chicken), Louisiana Deucy Chicken (chicken coated with corn-flake crumbs on a bed of sweet potatoes and zucchini, all doused with melted margarine, and baked), and Chicken with Mushrooms and wine (which is oversimplifying the recipe, of course). Of course there was wine and challah before it all. Of course. On the first day of the Holiday we ate in THEIR Sukkah, but i can't really recall much of what they served. It was all delicious, though. They have a more complicated salmon recipe than I use.
Whenever my grandma breaks out the Manischewitz at Passover I feel compelled to point out to her that that is not how you show someone you love them, you give them real wine that doesn't have 20 pounds of sugar per bottle.

So you're Sephardic!" To make it more confusing, his wife was actually Romanian (half Romanian non-Jewish and half Romanian-Jewish) so their kids were Romaniote *AND* Romanian.

i love all of these probably because i grew up with them, but i have never eaten choped liver(כבד קצוץ) with celery sticks and i have never eaten gelfilte fish with lettuce. also, no one cals it matza ball soup its called kneidalach. also, i dont know anyone thats says manischewitz we call it tirosh and its f-in delicious.
sivan rottelman um I call it matzah ball soup? And my entire family? And my boyfriends family?
well most of us call it kneidalach, especially us Israeli Jews.
אין מצב אני מצאתי יהודי פה חחחחחחחחחחח .....אני מזו לא מצחיק 😑
M Benyossef I'm a non-religious Jew and I call it kneidalach
actually some people call it matzah ball soup. All the jewish people I know (which is a lot, especially because I'm jewish) call it matzoh ball soup. I think it's probably just a regional thing
Wait a second... Large thick-rimmed glasses, big nose, and a huge mustache... Is he wearing a fucking disguise?
Nazareadain Now that you say that... his nose seriously doesn't look real...
I think so
Nazareadain LOL so true
+Nazareadain MTE and hes the only one who likes almost all of the dishes..
He's just Greek lol
I am German , and 70% of the Jewish Food they served , is also normal food in Germany.
Also its super wierd that they use so many german words.
luna Yiddish is a Germanic language. :)
***** Some, yeah. Like Shalom. The main difference is it's written with Hebrew letters instead of Latin ones.
luna As someone who speaks both German and Yiddish, I'd say Yiddish is bastardized German mixed with Hebrew at best. Many of the words are the same but have different meanings. For instance, in German, "Mensch" just means man/person whereas in Yiddish, it means a man/person of substance who is honorable, respectable, etc.
Jesse Friedman There's some other ones too. "Ist", "mir", and "wir" are brought over from German. Are the yes and no the same too?
Jesse Friedman Actually Yiddish is just a language that developed among many European Jews, it's a mix of multiple different languages including Polish, Turkish, some Hebrew and most obviously, German. It's its own language with its own culture, that happens to have lots of mixed origins.
wait, do non jews not eat chopped liver? I had no idea that was distinctly jewish
Non-Jews are smart enough to not eat Chopped Liver. That stuff is disgusting, nasty, and terrible.
Challah, good home-made Gafilta Fish, Matzah Ball Soup - fucking fantastic delicious! Raisin challah makes me want to go to temple just to get some, sometimes......
aethertech yeah I've never understood the appeal of chopped liver. I mean its liver. thats just chopped up in a mush pile
aethertech Well, Foie Gras is liver, an there are many dishes in many cultures with liver.
Dude, it is literally just chicken liver, chopped up in a blender....
aethertech Non jews also eat chopped liver....
this is what old jewish people like to eat ..... buzzfeed didnt serve the tastey food
I love the European Jewish food, and I bet they would too if it was prepared rigt
*****
CASTRO you tell me I'm live in Israel 🙄
me too אחי
CASTRO אני בת😂
"White people food" Eugene nailed it!
You are absolutely right. I didn't mean for my comment to equate jews as just white people. I was focusing on the dish.
jews aren't white (except for some Ashkenazis)
Except Jews aren't ethnically white and only some (mostly North American Ashkenazim) are white-passing...
I love chopped liver! I grew up in NY, and it was at almost every party. I thought everyone loves chopped liver. And matzo ball soup? Love it. I'm not Jewish, but I love the food. And oh yeah- I make a mean matzo ball.
+Marianne Kiss Except I can't stand gefilte fish. Ick.
Everyone has different tastes, you cant expect someone automatically like chopped livers.
why are people getting offended? i'm jewish and i find this hilarious
Because some people just have to be offended by something or their day isn't complete.
Justin Conquerbeard haha i guess so! people will get offended by air, like honestly none of this was at all ignorant or offensive. trying new things and exploring new cultures is probably the least ignorant thing someone can do.
It isn't supposed to be funny but, ya I'm a jew and I'm not offended ;/
Sophie Parker Exactly. You don't have to like the food, because everyone's palate is different. But they always go into these taste tests with open minds and that's all that matters. Hell, just making the effort to branch out and try something new is a good way to live - you might even something you love that you didn't even know existed. :D
WaldoIsWatchingYou well the people in it are funny and this channel is mainly a comedic channel so i'd say yes, it is supposed to be funny.
Go to an authentic Jewish delicatessen, you will not regret it. and i am a cynic about untried foods.
Every single time I hear the word Gefilte Fish I think of rush hour 2 😂
yes!!
HAHAHAHA ME
haha sama
😂😂
I think of Surfs Up lol
Description: "Music: Hora Melody"
This is "Hava Nagilah," guys!
+columbus8myhw Also, that does not look like any gefilte fish I've ever had.
+columbus8myhw I know right lol
+columbus8myhw i studied this in music class,still my favorite jewish song
+columbus8myhw Uru, uru achim
Ur'achim be-lev sa-me-ach
Ur'achim be-lev sa-me-ach
Ur'achim be-lev sa-me-ach
Ur'achim be-lev sa-me-ach
Ur'achim, ur'achim, be-lev sa-me-ach
Lol, I'm sorry I get excited when I see other jews XD
Yea Truu!!
This was really funny to watch because I'm Jewish and I eat this stuff all the time.
Tova Kligman Except Ive NEVER eaten chopped liver
Tova Kligman Not even on Pesach?
Sam Goldman No, not on Pesach.
So true
Tova Kligman I don't like it but it's a tradition in our family.
I have literally had all of these for shabbat dinner at my savta's
Bubbe. Learn the correct term.
just say "my grandmother" they don't know the meaning of Savta
*bubbe
Meirstein same 😍😂
@@Lily-ov5zy bubbe and savta are the same!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eugene killed me ,so funny! All his comments and the dancing on point, Keith was funny but Chris killed it
When they tired matza ball soup I knew everyone would really like it because it's one of my favorite things to eat during Passover 😃
I haven't heard of so many of those foods, thanks for sharing your opinion! I love watching your videos =) Food is awesome!
*_FOOD_*
Somebody screwed up that kugel for them to have that reaction. And I'm legit craving matzo ball soup now.
To life! To life! L'chai-im! L'chai-im, l'chai-im, to life! If you've been lucky, then Monday was No worse than Sunday was, Drink L'chai-im! To life!
***** what do you mean?
Patrick, she wrote out some of the lyrics to a song...
***** we say in Hebrew לחיים like cheers, לחיים=L'chai-im
***** it means cheers in Jewish, I'm not Jewish... I'm just a musical nut! It's lyrics from fiddler on the roof....lol!!!
Emily G I really kinda love fiddler on the roof....like...a lot
There are many different kinds of kugel. I've had delicious versions of all these dishes. It's quite possible they weren't made that well here.
"get it jewish grandmas." i just dieded.
dieded????
Lol no this is Jewish people food Eugene hahaha
He clearly doesn't know about Jewish history in the United States
Don't you mean food, in the camps?
"This is like the gateway drug to Jewish food" I love Eugene
Its astonishing and sad how many anti-semitic and bigoted comments there are here...
IKR!
hayderimran7
and war crimes and terrible things happening to jews every day for thousands of years? yeah, I'm not a supporter of the israeli government. You have to stop fucking blaming an entire fucking religion, and blame a small, conservative powerful elite in israel.
hayderimran7
also, liking your own comment isn't cool, its pathetic...
astonishing? this is youtube. it's basically expected.
hayderimran7
cute, go play with your wittle toys
you telling me the guy with the big glasses isnt jewish?
+jackbaradog lmao

😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹
well damn

That might be a suprise for you non-jews
but jews actually more attend to drink wine at holydays
rather than manischewitz
Most of these foods have so much variation that two preparations
of the same dish can taste almost nothing like each other.
Usually, you like your mother's. :)
Gefilte fish: This tastes really different if it's served hot or cold.
It can also be made with different fish as ingredients.
Kugel: The kugel they had was noodle kugel, but I think they'd have
been better off with potato kugel. Various foods with little in common
other than being flat and baked/cooked in a pan are called "kugel,"
for example, luckshin (noodle) kugel, potato kugel, apple kugel, and
Yerushalmi kugel (different noodles, dark and spicy).
I think Yerushalmi has the most consistent taste - the others vary a lot.
I would also like to note that non-Hasidic Jews also eat kugel,
knowledge or lack thereof about mystical powers notwithstanding.
Chopped liver: The look might put you off if you're not used to it, but it tastes good.
(Rugelach: Heh. There was no way anyone was going to dislike those.)
Manischewitz: That's just a brand of wine, not a traditional Jewish drink...
There are many other Jewish wine brands - if you're a wine afficionado,
I'd suggest the Baron Herzog line. If you want to know what Jewish people
who aren't wine afficionados drink, you can also go with Kedem.
Finally, these foods are all from the Ashkenazic tradition (Western European Jews). Sephardic food is nothing like it
As an Ashkenazi, Gefilte fish is terrible. I've banned it from holiday meals
i am with you on that. Ashkenazi and safardik Jews have different taste towards some of these foods, and some of these foods i have never even heard of. Does that mean i am a bad Jew haha
this foods are mostly ashkenasi, i as an ashkenazi enjoy them but spharadi jews eat totally differently and just as an information, real rugalach are totally different and way better!!!
I'm a mix of both Ashkenazi and Sephardic and I personally love everything they showed in the video. Maybe not the liver though.
I think all the examples they gave can be prepared a lot better and tastier
EHUDI,
Food shown in the clip is not "Jewish" food. This is an AMERICAN food. American "gefilte fish" is like American Jews - no smell, no look, no taste. If you were offered REAL Jewish food we've pull you away by your ears from the table. Why the commentaries at Jewish clips are mostly from the idiots?
very disappointed they didn't try those "hamantash" pastries for Purim
+Lori Candido Hamantashen are the best,
I agree.
hamantashen***
as a non-Jewish, Purim is my favorite Jewish holiday :D
Where are the latkes , the salt beef sandwiches and a traditional Jewish chicken soup with kneidlich!
I was singing Hava Nagila all through the video😂
"This is what I call some white people food" LOL xD IM DEAD
Potato lodkas (or however you spell it, sorry) aRE LITERALLY THE BEST
l.a.t.k.e.s.
thanks
Isnt that Polish cuisine?
Those are slavic not specifically Jewish. But, I agree. They're epic
Your loss.
Rugelach is the best! I really like it when you have the chocolate type and you heat it up and eat it when it's still warm
כל הישראלים להשאיר לייק!
+יהלי ביטון huh?
כולם נראה לי ישראלים מי שצופה
Guy Abramov ופלסטינאים אנטישמים
למה
אני
I'm not Jewish but My mother worked for Jewish families so I've always had these foods around, as a youth I was stand off-ish but as an adult I love the stuff
how much do you wanna bet that half of this is NOT kosher lol
+Amelia Kelley is not about modern or not but every man that call himself jew will eat only kosher.
unless he is a reform jew im not sure about them.
how about EVERYTHING is kosher
Lol
FanciestNir why lol
לירון כהן cuz life
how do you not like kugel?
I was once walking in downtown NYC and some jewish lady looked and laughed at me and said "the eighties called they want their shirt back." I said "the forties called, your showers ready."
YOU STOLE THAT FROM TWITTER LIAR!
that's kinda.. cruel of you to joke about
Tanya Bui exactly
That was bad but she did start it.
that is extremely rude and uncalled for.
I am Jewish and "Jewish" food is da boom. And why did eugene thing kugel is white people food. And I am god damn proud of my matzo ball soup!
+Dylan Seidel It's not white people food. IT'S JEWISH FOOD! When are people going to realize that Jews are not white. Jews can have white skin or if they are a convert they can be genetically white but for the most part most Jews are genetically different from from white people and our DNA can be traced back to the middle east.
+Dylan Seidel yeah! THAT SHITS OURS!
I feel like we need a part 2 with challah, and other Passover food
Whenever I'm sick I crave matzah ball soup. I once had a fever of 106 and the only thing I'd eat was matzah ball soup.
as a jewish, 95% of us , AREN'T EATING THIS
נועם ניר רק אשכנזים
נועם ניר i must be in the 5% when ever i visited my grandparents in new york city she would feed us this stuff.(im half jewish)
נועם ניר Only on the high holy days lol
נועם ניר Then you aren't Jewish
I guess I'm part of the 5%
the guy with big glasses was eating the matza ball with a fork... wow...
IKR THATS NOT HOW YOU EAT IT
Eugene's reaction to the matzah ball soup is VERY accurate.
thats mainly ashkenazi food :(
I'm not even Jewish and I saw there wasn't really any Sephardic or Mizrach...
Considering how something like 95% of American Jews are Ashkenazi, we're the ones that matter.
Eh, true enough.
Meirstein nobody likes you tho and your food is disgusting
+Meirstein You know what's really a great idea? Jews attacking each other, because the rest of humanity loves us SO MUCH. What's that saying? A house divided can not fall, right? :)
what about latkes? or jelly donuts?
Happy new Jewish year!
Happy Jewish New Year to you too! :)
shanah tova
Sana tova and a happy new year
Shana tova to every1 happy new and sweet new year
Happy Jewyear.
Chris: eh I don't know if it's for me
*takes another bite*
I was the chef in a kosher meat kitchen for five years and you miss named the kugel. What you served was sweet noodle kugel. Kugel means pudding and can be sweet or savory. I became a huge fan of Jewish cuisine while working there. When it's made right, sweet noodle kugel as well as savory potato kugel rock!
The matzo ball & pastry look delicious!
Matzo ball soup is DELICIOUS!
also try latkes ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ
Sarahmint /(._.)/ Notice me,senpai.
Sarahmint and stuffed cabbage
Bagle
Oh it IS
I do admit, Israel has some damn good pastries. I remember when I was in Jerusalem on Friday before Shabbat began and all the bakeries were PACKED. It was awesome. The pastries are delicious too. Especially the challah bread. Now I wanna go back to Israel. It's so beautiful there! Especially seeing the Western Wall on Shabbat! What an unforgettable experience and I would love to go back someday.
I heard the melody to Hava Nagila
Same!
I started singing it
Same here! :)
Same!! Love it!!
NO THE BAT MITZVAH FLASHBACKS ARE TO HARSH
My mom grew up Jewish and my dad Christian. We're now atheist. Every other Passover we celebrate with my family. I know almost no Hebrew and just sit there for five hours singing random Hebrew, eating food, and wondering what I would be doing if I wasn't there. But I love Passover XD
Gefilte fish is awesome, but it takes some getting used to.
Kugel, I've never hated, but I've never been a big fan of it.
Matzah ball soup looks very simple, usually a matzah ball in a broth and sometimes with a few veggies, but tastes awesome.
Chopped liver is something I've never had before. I didn't even know it was Jewish in origin. It doesn't surprise me, though, now that I think about it.
Rugelach is awesome.
Manischewitz ("w" pronounced like a "v") is something I've never had before because I'm under age, but I've heard that it's really good.
I still cannot get over the fact that they forgot latkes and baked apples.
as a jew this was very interesting to watch.... and I'm gonna say that if every person in this video went to a shabbat dinner they would love it (the food and the atmosphere)
They missed the CHALLAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They missed the middle eastern cuisine :(
Honestly, some of the preparation styles were entirely half-assed.
i rescently went to kosher resturant that served persian and japanese , it was yummy !!!
Just wanted to mention that we eat most of these foods on holidays its not our everyday lunch וזה בכלל לא נראה כמו רוגעלך מה זה
Agreed
CupcakeVamp shanah tova
הגרסא האמריקאית לרוגעלך אולי?
אף פעם לא ראיתי קניידלך ענקי כזה WTF??
Flutter Girl חחח ברטר שזה לא קניידלך אמיתי זה שפים לא ישראליים הם לא יכולים להכין את זה..
חוץ מזה.... שנה טובה
מה הקשר ישראלי? זה מאכל אשכנזי. נראה לי שזה בגלל שהם אוהבים להגדיל כל דבר בארה"ב חחחח שנה מעולה :)
This year I learned that my heritage is ashkenazi, I’m more interested than ever to know my culture. This was fun by the way!
Without entering the whole religion war/game I'd like to say a few words
-I am a Jewish ( Israeli teen well not so young as a teen more like a young adult ) but let's move on I have the exact same response to most of the food as they do on the video I think it's safe to say that food is a human nature that crosses and bridges all of us
-I like how they described the food as compressed and thought the mazzaball is like a sponge in a bath that is absolutely funny even though everyone has it's own opinion it's very accepted that our food is quite on the compressed side and you can compare it to funny things : you made my day I can't erase the smile on my face :)
THIS IS ASHKENAZI FOOD/.
ashkenaz is not well known for their food they should taste "mizrahi" food
or eastern as u say
like hell we aren't. we just love traditional foods on the holidays
Plus most Jews are Sephardic so yeah, including me.
Can you tell us what mizrahi food is like? I am interested in all of this!
Snodge Kat think of Arab food.....only jews eat it
karl john Sounds intriguing.
L'shanah tovah!!!
have a sweet new year!
mmm Pomegranates.... :P
Happy New Year!!
English pls
Happy New Year in Mebrew.
1 gefilte dish only tastes good if it's home made
2 the only good kind of Kugel is potato Kugel
3 MATZA BALL SOUP IS AMAZING
4 only the REALLY old ppl eat chopped liver
5 YUMMMM
6 I don't even know anyone who has had that
YOU MISSED ALL THE BEST FOODS
Penny Stollak I know his is 2 years late but You’ve never seen manischewitz?????
@@freakyj3175 i know this is 2 years late (lol its exactly what u wrote too) but i think he just dont know the name.. i never knew this word.. i use the word tirosh for manischewitz.
My Trinidadian mom who grew up in Brooklyn loves making matzo ball soup. Her Jewish friends think it's better than theirs lol.
*matzah*
+Baby Cakes there are two spellings
Matzo is also correct.
People from Trinidad and the Islands can generally cook like omg WHOA...
Where's the Challah? And the Charoset。and LATKES??
+Dan of the Table I do love latkes especially since I'm gluten sensitive. Cant' do the sufganiyot.
+Dan of the Table IKR!
HOW COULD THEY FORGET THE LATKES 😵😵😵😵😵
"I went to a Hanukkah one time"
Why is she using our oxygen?
Don't get the joke...
Scientific Ninja Are you Cristian? Thats like saying "I went to a christmas one day"
+Scientific Ninja You don't "go to" a Hanukkah. It's a holiday. It would be like saying "yeah, I went to a Christmas one time...." 😒
ShokoFlow no, I'm Jewish. I know what Chanukah is, I just don't get the joke.
Zoë S Ok that wasn't extremely funny but whatever...
I'm both Sephardic and Ashkenazic. My favorite "Jewish" foods are Challah, matzah ball soup, hummus etc. I'm part Turkish and I'm trying to be more connected with that side of my heritage so I have been eating more Sephardic/Turkish food recently. I also hate gefilte fish and chopped liver haha
Hannah K678 hummus is not jewish sweetheart. hummus is a palestinian food. Stop trying to hijack it. and i dont want to hear the arab jewish alibi. Hummus will always be our food!
I'm Jewish and love all of this
Except that they ate a bad looking gafilta fish.
I am Jewish too.
Same
HI XD
I'm Jewish too:)!
What?? No challah?!?! How can you taste-test a Sabbath meal without challah? And, by the way, the wine goes FIRST, not last.
I think if they had the wine first then they would have liked everything that followed. ;P
Castaway Compared to the Manishewitz, possibly.
For the Holiday tonight I have made three types of chicken (we're having 12 guests over on Friday, the second day of the Holiday), several side dishes, my own recipe of gefilte fish (somewhat spicy), pareve ice cream (i.e., no dairy), and we're going to have potato kugel, apple kugel, challah (of course), Kedem wine, not Manishewitz!, and whatever else that I can't recall.
For side dishes we had potato salad (not particularly Jewish, I suppose), white rice, Lukishin Mit Braizil (pasta with fried bread crumbs), both gefilte fish (my recipe, as I mentioned) AND baked salmon, and other stuff I can't recall. The three types of chicken were Crispy Bake Chicken (sort of like the old Shake-and-Bake Chicken), Louisiana Deucy Chicken (chicken coated with corn-flake crumbs on a bed of sweet potatoes and zucchini, all doused with melted margarine, and baked), and Chicken with Mushrooms and wine (which is oversimplifying the recipe, of course). Of course there was wine and challah before it all. Of course.
On the first day of the Holiday we ate in THEIR Sukkah, but i can't really recall much of what they served. It was all delicious, though. They have a more complicated salmon recipe than I use.
KUGEL IS MY LITERAL LIFE! I can't stand gefilte fish though, ick
Today, I met a walking, talking kugel.
Whenever my grandma breaks out the Manischewitz at Passover I feel compelled to point out to her that that is not how you show someone you love them, you give them real wine that doesn't have 20 pounds of sugar per bottle.
