Chinese People Try Jewish Food for the First Time 😳

Ойын-сауық

Today I brought a group of my Chinese friends to NYC’s famous 2nd Avenue Deli to try authentic, traditional Eastern European Ashkenazic Jewish Food for the first time! We got all the classics, including gefilte fish, chopped liver, pickles (full-sour and half-sour), sauerkraut, cholent, matzoh ball soup, blintzes, knishes, potato kugel, and of course pastrami sandwiches. Some of the items they loved, others…not so much!!!

    The irony is that growing up in Brooklyn, “typical” Jewish food many times meant going out for Chinese. :-)

It's yet another 19th century concept that somehow has made it into the 21st century. Genetics are real. But genetics are complicated and not as easy to go around judging people on. And finally "hating on whites" just seems to be a current fashion trend. I'm sure everyone will figure on someone else to hate next. It's what humans do. Unfortunately.

    It's probably appropriate from an American Jewish perspective, but it really doesn't represent the cuisines of the many different Jewish diaspora communities, and certainly not their big merger in Israel.

    Me being Polish - the same. There is a difference - we eat pork. My grandma had a Jewish boyfriend - soon after the war - he was a German Jew - up until her death she was very highly speaking about Jewish hospitality and food. They broke up as he was emigrating to Palestine and her family didn't want to look after her siblings for few years (her parents died during war). - You need to remember this is Ashkenazi food - similar to ours - Sephardi is more Mediterranean - Arabic connected - food is not about nationalities, but regions, migrations, religions...

    Jews were kicked out of nearly every country, and most of the NY Jews came from eastern europe - the delicatessen, as we know it as Jewish food, was created in NYC when all the cultures mixed together in the Lower East Side. Also, there used to be stores of every culture but they eventually combined in Jewish delis/diners to please everyone.

My wife eats knishes and bagels, but for some reason I just assumed everything else would gross her out.

It turned out really good and was full of comfort food vibes. While it did take a few steps it wasn't all that hard to do, so yes def worth making your own.

    Great as usual! We once had International Cuisine Day at my office. We had several Asian people in the department. They brought their specialties. I brought Gefilte Fish. I had a LOT of leftovers! It didn’t go over too well. But everybody loves Maneschewicz! I mean, c’mon, that’s like saying you don’t like candied cherries!

    This reminds me of a funny conversation that I had years ago. I was working in a primarily Asian Indian group and was invited to a pot luck dinner. A woman walked over to me and gaped at me. "You eat Indian food????" I smiled and replied, "of course! Don't you eat Jewish food?" Sheepishly, she shook her head no. I kept smiling and said, "of course you do! What do you think Indian Jews eat? The same thing you do!!!"

    It's worth mentioning that Chinatown is the same area where hundreds of thousands of Eastern European Jews settled between about 1880 and 1920, and this (except usually on a much less opulent level) would have been the normal fare (relying heavily on the starch with egg concoctions, like gefilte fish, potato pancakes etc., money usually being scarce). But particularly significant is the strong similarity of Chinese and Jewish cuisine generally: above all, no dairy and meat together. This brings Jewish and Chinese cooking much closer than Jewish and most European cuisines that heavily combine the two. Italian in particular. It's for this reason that Chinese food was usually the first "ethnic" cuisine Jews gravitated to when they abandoned kosher adherence (the "gateway drug" to more blatantly non-Jewish things like cheeseburgers, Italian standards, lobster etc.). And of course, most famously, Chinese restaurants being open on Christmas, so December 25 is "traditionally" a big Chinese food day for Jews. Nice lesson/explanation on the cholent, by the way. However brief, definitely a highlight of the video, touching on the religious-spiritual aspect of that dish that's so important in Jewish culture.

    Are you wearing a kipah in this video? Yup, at the end, when you left the restaurant I could see it. Cholent is normally eaten on shabbat. If I make a stew (rarely), it wouldn't be the same recipe as cholent. This groaning board wouldn't be a typical meal. either -WOW! 😲 I vote for sour pickles. our friend was right when she said that the half-sour tastes like a cucumber.

    Sauerkraut actually originated in central asia or china. It was brought to Europe awhile ago and the pickling agent changed I believe from rice wine to salt, eventually. There is sour cabbage in China. My wife is from Liaoning and makes sour cabbage soup with pork a bit here in NYC at home. You can get it at Dongbei restaurants in cities like NYC, Chicago, LA area, etc. I'm in China right now and had it about 3 times this trip:)
