Oy ! I left out: holipshes, chrayn, lokshin, raytach, katchke,
borscht, shaav, knobble, tzibbele, shmaltz, hackfleish.
BTW I heard that Gene Kelly choked on a piece of gefilte fish
while Singing in the CHRAYN.

But Josh! How could you leave out the *quintessential* Yiddish food:
PTCHA
More effective than syrup of ipecac! And half as tasty!

Heartburn ! :-) All of them: kreplach, kugel, eingemachtz,
kishke, grieben, kashe, varnekas, grimslick, teigeleach,
kneidlach, ptcha, knishes, tzimmes, blinztes, latkes, gefillte
fish, kichel, pickled herring, chopped liver.
Robuchon and Tro'agro may raise a snotty French eyebrow
but this is heimish cuisine.

In the interests of Tribal Harmony :-)
Given the nature of Julie's project, I think she's looking for words that
she can put on things like the flour cannister, the bread box, etc.
Ingredients and supplies, rather than prepared foods. E.g., words like
Flour, Sugar, Salt, etc., and maybe Breakfast Cereal, Preserves -- however
people have their kitchens and pantries organized. Yiddish words for
common foods - not necessarily words for specifically Yiddish-style foods.
Also, she wants the Hebrew spellings so that she can copy them onto the
craft works.
I did a quick Web search and didn't find anything - although I found a
listing at http://www.machers.com/directory/Yiddish/index.html that might
be promising.
Good luck,

I hadn't been served it for many years until I visited my cousin in New
Square last year. She served an appetizer of several different fish from
their store down stairs (no they did not talk) which were out of this
world. She had an outstanding cholent, but then came the pcha, ych ych

Yeah, it's probably bal tosif. But you can eat hhamets-dik ptcha on
Pesach, since it's eino ra'ui leakhilat cockroach, let alone kelev!

Now, while a gmar tov is admittedly better than a gmar ra, it's still
not a very nice thing to wish on one :-). Better is:

Other possible helpfull sources form my quick Internet search:

Stick mixture in a stainless steel bowl and microwave on Very High for 30
minutes. Alternately, if you have an electric chair handy, sit on it, turn
it on, and hold onto the bowl as tight as you can.
Close the doors so that the man in the white coat does not come to take you
away. If you serve this to children under 18, you may be in violation of
municipal, state, and federal child abuse laws. Check with the local SPCA
regarding availability of cat's foot and "hard boiled eggs."

In Boston, it's called "yakhhhh". I still eat it when opportunity
presents itself. (Hey, it's mostly egg whites.) Back at the Chabad
House Shabbat dinners, I used to smear ketchup and mayo on bread and
top it off with yakhhhh, grossing out many of those present... but my
wife still agreed to marry me!

Get a Yiddish dictionary, like Weinreich or something. Yiddish
is written in Hebrew characters normally. Call up one of the
big Jewish bookstores, like 1-800-JUDAISM (Pinsker's, in Pgh.),
or 1-888-EICHLERs (in Brooklyn) and ask for what you want.
Actually, you can get Weinreich's dictionary at Amazon for $21
discounted.

If it's so common, perhaps you shouldn't let it be a pet peeve of
yours. (This advice is being to myself as well! There are many
"common" things that bug me :-( )

Yes, I know, I know.... But negotiating the territory between
idealism, cynicism, and curmudgeonry is rather tricky, you know... and
evidently a big part of my work for the coming year...
