the potato latkes are ok, the donuts obviously better. we're spoiled today.

people of previous centuries took pride in latkes because they didn't have our affluence, which blinds us to the simple joys in life.

but it's the gifilte fish in the spring that i cannot stomach. my jewish girlfriend fed me those.

Ken, when I was a kid growing up in Chicago, there was a real Kosher Deli a long block away from my home. On the hot summer nights, all windows open, the smell of the wonderful old bakers preparing those fish dishes, would kill flies, ...LOLOL, but it made the atmosphere of those old neighborhoods what they were, and I do miss those days, and wouldn't trade any of the memories, for nothin!!...sigh!
