"Chulent is the food of Heaven,
And the recipe was given
By the Lord himself to Moses
One fine day upon Mount Sinai
In the very spot where likewise
G-d revealed his moral doctrines
And the holy Ten Commandments
In the midst of flame & lightening
Chulent is God's bread of rapture,
It's the kosher-type ambrosia
That is catered straight from Heaven;
And compared with such a morsel"
Heinrich (Chaim) Heine
