Like most other Jewish holidays, Chanukah has a simple theme:
- They tried to kill us.
- We won.
- Let's eat.
European Jews brought the latke (potato pancake) into the mainstream, and now you can get them with your breakfast at the local Pickle Barrel any time of the year.
Recipe: Latkes
[Editor's note: Pickle Barrel no longer serves real latkes. It's a disgrace.]


I like your Laktes recipe. It will go well with my Brisket. Thank you for sharing and have a good week.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the recipe - I've always wanted to try making proper latkes. And I love your short description of the theme of Chanukah :)

ReplyDeleteI have never tried latkes, either eaten or cooked, so this just has to go onto my "must try" list.
