HUNGRY GERALD

Gefilte Fish is one of HG’s favorite lunch dishes. The oval fish balls (sort of Jewish quenelles) swimming in fish broth (sometimes the broth is jellied) are topped with fiery horseradish and the broth is soaked up with challah (if HG can find it) or focaccia. Light but satisfying eating. There are many jarred brands available online—Yehuda, Mrs. Adler, Kedem and Rokeach, etc. Manischewitz is the best seller and HG’s favorite. Greatest gefilte fish were made by HG’s late mother, Ida Kopkind Freeman, but when she was too busy she opened a jar of Manischewitz. And, that’s what HG did today for happy eating in HG/BSK’s Central Falls, RI, loft.
