I’ve never had hot Jewish food can you enlighten ?
I’m thinking Sammy Roumanian .....
Or Israeli food which is pretty much Arab food
I just mean spicy flavorings in nearly all sausages and of course horseradish , and some of those pickled herring and seasoned dishes. None of which I would eat.
Here is a primer: Wide World of Jewish Spices https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/food/articles/the-wide-world-of-jewish-spices
My favorite spicy item is Chinese Garlic Chicken.
Also like Mexican Style Street Bean dishes of various types.
