24 Reasons Being Jewish And Staying Slim Is Impossible

Bubbuleh, don’t you like the rogelach?

First off, there’s Palwin. We start drinking that stuff pretty young.

It’s a special wine for blessings that tastes like sweets and cough mixture, and absolutely nothing like wine.

And as soon as we’re on solids, we get started on Bamba.

They’re an Israeli snack (basically peanut butter Wotsits), which may just be the best tasting cure for peanut allergies you’ll ever hear about.

And don’t even get me started on how much Jews love cheesecake.

Shavuot, which celebrates the giving of the Torah, is mostly about cheesecake. The best recipe, which involves curd cheese, sour cream, and a pastry base, is by Claudia Roden, but you can find a decent approximation here.

Of course, the best thing about cheesecake is that you have to try them all.

There’s a great peanut butter recipe here and a delicious salted caramel one here. But if you want something they ate in the shtetl, try a poppyseed version instead. Recipe here.
