So apparently hanukkah and thanksgiving fall at the same time. There have been suggestions on line about how to merge the two, food wise (bourbon sweet potato kugel, pecan pie rugelach, cranberry apple sauce with latkes...) My son came up with the idea of Briskurkey, a turkey stuffed with brisket. I'm actually considering this, though it may be too weird. Thoughts? |

HMM, hadn't thought of it yet. Backwards, i.e. brisket stuffed with turkey/dressing a la rouladen? I like the pecan pie rugelah and the latkes with cranberries instead of apple sauce. |

I like the latkes with cranberry sauce. Hey, I should make some. I also recommend delecata squash or sweet potato latkes. Maybe I should do Jewish food for ty day ... |

I made pecan pie rugelach using dough that I had already made which was in the freezer (dough from Lauren Groveman found in Baking with Julia) and filling from Carole Walters pecan tassie filling. They were really good once they cooled down. I still like apricot jam, pecan and cinnamon filling better, but these turned out well. |

So, based on the whole HannuGiving thing, I was thinking of doing "Jewish Food" as the theme for Thanksgiving dinner this year. So I borrowed a bunch of cookbooks (Joyce Goldstein, Claudia Roden, etc.) and tried to see what I could put together. And the answer is, "not much", which is reflected in the various "thanksgivikkuah" recipes we've seen posted on the various blogs. The problem for me is that Ashkenaz (Eastern European) Jewish food is pretty much out since I don't do meat. We'd be having a meal of latkes and challah, which is a tad heavy on the starch, and light on everything else. So I looked a Sephardic food instead (Jews from North Africa the Middle East). There were a lot more menu possibilities there. However, the problem with Sephardic food is that Jews in those countries pretty much eat/ate the same foods as everyone else. Which means I wouldn't be doing Jewish food so much as I would be doing North African or Middle Eastern food, which is good enough it its own right, but kind of gets away from the whole theme idea. So, back to Greek for Thanksgiving. I have a lot more ideas for that ... in fact, the hard part is picking a few! |

How about a whole poached salmon with dill/sour cream sauce, challah dressing, sweet potatoes latkes, apple/cranberry sauce, and those Israeli doughnuts (the name escapes me) so that everyone can have a proper Thanksgiving coma afterward? Is there such a thing as pumpkin kugel? I'd totally eat that. |

Oooh I re-read the first posts in this thread. How did I miss the bourbon-sweet potato kugel? |
