HUNGRY GERALD

There are many tasty foodstuffs available through the Manischewitz brand. However, since it was acquired by Kayco (0wner of all Jewish brands–except for family owned Streit’s Matzos). HG is not sure what is actually made by Manischewitz or outsourced elsewhere and branded Manischewitz (the brand was favored by generations of Jewish mothers including HG’s beloved late Mom, Ida Kopkind Freeman).  HG is not concerned about the origin of Manischewitz gefilte fish. It is the best (comparable to Mom’s version). HG had a happy lunch today of the fish smothered in jellied broth and pungent and fiery Kelchner’s Horseradish. Alas, there was no challah available to sop up the fragrant juices.  HG’s late Mom would enhance the meal by covering HG’s challah with a layer of chicken fat and coarse kosher salt–a happy memory.
