Answers:
You know, there is more to the world than Big Macs and fries!. Ignore the dumb posts!. Jewish food is wonderful (and no, I am not Jewish, just had Jewish friends who shared great food!)

Here are just a few things!.!.!.

Brisket (slow baked beef)!. - delicious

Latkes (Potato pancakes - my favorite)

Blintzes (thin pancakes, like a crepe, stuffed with cream cheese, blueberry sauce!.!.!.or similar variations

Corned beef sandwiches or corned beef

Chopped liver - don't knock it until you've tried it, really, really good on crackers or sandwiches

Bagels (you probably know them) - but try them with cream cheese and lox - smoked salmon

If the restaurant has Challah bread, by all means, have some!. Delicious bread, sometimes has saffron in it so it is a soft yellow color!.

Kugel - noodle pudding (OK!.!.!.this is not one of my favorites!.!.!.but lots of folks love it)

Kreplach - dumplings

Huumus - chick pea dip with lemon, garlic, olive oil - dip veggies in it or pieces of pita bread

Charoset -

Charoset or charoses is a sweet, lumpy paste served during the Passover Seder!. Known in Jewish cuisine, it is a favorite of children!. Some people believe it is the tastiest thing eaten during the holiday!. The consistency is intended to remind those participating in the Seder of the bricks and mortar their ancestors made as slaves in Ancient Egypt!.

There are as many recipes for charoset as there are Jewish families, but a typical recipe from the Eastern European (or Ashkenazi) tradition would include crushed nuts, apples, cinnamon, sweet wine, and honey!. Recipes in the Sephardic tradition usually include raisins and may also include ingredients native to the Middle East, such as figs, dates, and sesame seeds!.

Recipe:
1!.5 C peeled, cored and chopped apples (MacIntosh, preferably)
!.75 C finely chopped walnuts
2 T sweet red wine
1 tsp!. cinnamon
2 T honey

Mix together and refrigerate overnight for best flavor!. Adjust seasoning, if necessary, after it's chilled!. For a family Sedar, triple this recipe!. Serve with matzah!. Or just eat with a spoon!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Depends on what they have on the menu!. Jewish food spans many regions, so there's no way of knowing what they have until you see the menu!.

I'm not Jewish, but I looove lox & bagels, hummus, Baba ghanoush!.!.!.soo much good stuff!. Just pick something at random, it'll be great!

My family cooks a lot of hungarian food, so some of the stuff overlaps!. Like, schnitzel & goulash!. It's a thin veal slices, breaded & fried!. Very good!. Goulash is a stew mostly made of beef & onions with paprika!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Lobster bisque with a side of pork chops!. Make sure you mention to the waiter how deeeelicious the savory taste of ham is to you!. The mouth watering aroma, the savory pleasure of biting into a soft juicy slice, the warm satisfying feeling in your belly afterward!.!.!. this will be sure to make your evening extra enjoyable for all!Www@FoodAQ@Com

the person who said lobster and pork is retarted!. both are non kosher foods!.
i personlly like chicken shwarma or israeli salads!. i promise u will find something u will enjoy!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
