Comments on: Grindz of the Day: Kosher Jewish Cuisine at Yudi’s Deli http://tastyisland.wordpress.com/2008/04/06/grindz-of-the-day-yudis-deli/ Honolulu Food Blog Wed, 09 Jul 2008 09:37:07 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=MU By: Tom http://tastyisland.wordpress.com/2008/04/06/grindz-of-the-day-yudis-deli/#comment-4823 Tom Sun, 13 Apr 2008 04:41:13 +0000 http://tastyisland.wordpress.com/?p=213#comment-4823 Actually you are correct Jenny, falafel and hummus is native to northern Africa and the Middle East and everyone that lives there; Arabs, Persians, Jews, and others. It is definitely not specific to one group. However I think the tag here is for the fact it's a Jewish deli. They do offer much more traditional Jewish fare such as knishes.

As always, it's good to check with the food master (that would be you, BTW). ;-) Pomai, mahalo for researching the definition of Jewish food!

Actually, if you read Wikipedia's explanation, it says, "Jewish cuisine is a collection of international cookery traditions linked by Jewish dietary laws (kashrut) and Jewish holiday traditions." There's obviously heavy influence from the middle east, as well as the mediterranean regions. Of course the key to Jewish cuisine is that it's Kosher, meaning it adheres to Jewish law.

I love hummus so I was really salivating over this photo. Pardon my ignorance, though, but I have a question: Is this really Jewish food? I always thought babaganoush, hummus and filafel were more middle-Eastern foods and more Arab in origin. Not that it matters when you're enjoying it, but I just wanted to double-check. Thanks!
