Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. You are serving roast chicken for dinner. The first course is borsht (beet soup). What will you use to garnish the soup?

Answer: A small boiled potato

Sour cream is the best but it is not kosher to serve meat and dairy at the same meal. Potato will have to do. Also try chopped cucumber.
2. What is fish yuck?

Answer: The gelled broth on gefilte fish

Its the jelly on gefilte fish. The best way to enjoy it is to take a napkin and wipe it off.
3. What would you serve chrain with?

Answer: Gefilte fish

Chrain is grated horseradish. I like the red kind - with beets.
4. Why is potato kugel a popular choice for Friday night Shabbos dinner?

Answer: Because it doesn't contain milk

It doesn't contain dairy products. It is not kosher to eat milk and meat together and the Shabbos meal is usually meat. It basically takes the place of mashed potatoes.
5. Sometimes you can see the word "pareve" next to a kosher symbol. If food is pareve, what does it mean?

Answer: It contains neither dairy nor meat products.

It can contain fish or eggs, but no other animal products. Except honey, if you count that.
6. Which one of these might be kosher?

Answer: Avgolemono Soup

Greek egg lemon chicken soup. Yum.
As long as you use a kosher chicken.
The other dishes either use pork or mix meat and dairy.
7. Which vegetable is probably the least popular for the kosher cook?

Answer: Fresh broccoli

Vegetables must be checked for bugs, which Jews are not allowed to eat. Broccoli is really a pain to check. The others I listed are easy.
8. Which is not a blintze you would be served in a kosher home?

Answer: Ground beef with onions

Blintze batter is dairy so the meat one wouldn't be kosher. I never even heard of such a thing, even in this world of ham and cheese bagel sandwiches.
The jam and powdered sugar one is the Hungarian version, palacinta.
No, not cheddar cheese - sweetened pot, farmer, or cottage cheese.
Try sweetened ricotta with a layer of apple butter.
9. Which one of the following is not schmaltz?

Answer: A Shabbos afternoon nap

The original meaning of schmaltz is rendered chicken fat. It made for some tasty, but less than healthy cooking. It was even used for baking.
They now make pareve schmaltz so you can watch your cholesterol.

I don't know how it came to be used in the sense of schmaltz herring.
10. What is the possibly lethal and well-loved (go figure) mix of overcooked beans, brisket, potatoes, carrots ( I must stop now) that is served on Saturday called?

Answer: Cholent

I don't even want to think about it.
It is put up to cook slowly before the Sabbath begins on Friday evening and cooks until Saturday lunch. Heavy stuff. People love it, I have no clue why.
