There aren't many, unfortunately. Ashkenazi Jewish cooking is heavily influenced by the religious principle that if food tastes too good, it distracts us from the main thing, which is worshipping god. This is why most traditional European Jewish dishes are severely bland and/or boring. The cabbage roll that someone offered up above sounds like it suffers from exactly what I'm talking about.

Fajitas, needless to say, are not Jewish, and neither is gravlax which is Scandinavian in origin.

Having said that, one of the best things I ever ate was stuffed goose neck in a Jewish restaurant in Krakow, Poland. It was rich, delicious, crispy and succulent. I had jellied carp for a starter, and while I didn't exactly like it (cold cooked fish in a sweet, carrot-flavoured jelly??? I mean, what???) I began to be nostalgic for it even while I was eating it. If I went back to the same restaurant tomorrow, I would order exactly the same things again.

The fact remains, though, that if you want to eat tasty Jewish food you have to go Mediterranean. For some reason, the Sephardi community had fewer inhibitions than their Eastern European cousins when it came to flavouring food. One of the most delicious of Middle Eastern Jewish dishes is kibbeh, which is common to both Jews and Arabs. It consists of hollow meatballs, made with a shell of combined minced lamb and bulgar (cracked wheat), with a delicious filling made of cooked minced lamb mixed with pine nuts, herbs, onion and sometimes raisins. I have made a very amateurish version of kibbeh myself, but the real thing is delectable. It's usually either deep-fried or baked.

I have also read about the 'Jerusalem grill', a delicious-sounding mixed grill of various bits of chicken innards, heavily spiced and fried and served as street food in flatbread. For that matter, the traditional falafel with hummus in pitta bread is very hard to beat as a lip-smacking vegetarian snack, and is another classically Israeli fast food. As is turkey schnitzel.

Cornbeef <~ baked with potatoes and carrots, matzah ball soup ... or latkes for a snack !! yum

Fajitas
