**But were afraid to ask…
From Jewlicious’ gastronomy department somewhere in the south of France, a question: Ever see a bowl of tiny yellow squares next to the soup at your local kibbutz and think, “WTF?” Ever taste a few and wonder what the damn things were made of? As have I, as have I.
Well, wonder no more, Bubbeleh: Wheat flower, vegetable oil, salt, and various spices. Once you’ve recovered from the shock, tell a friend.
We have a gastronomy department? In the south of France??
Please send kosher camembert!
Thank you so much Alli. This unknown has tormented me for years. BTW, watch the WTFs.
WTF will henceforth be substituted with WMD.
WMD will henceforth be substituted by WAD – weapons of ass destruction our latest Jewlicious Adult Film of the Week, brought to you by Al Goldstein and the 2nd Ave. Deli in NYC – try their blintzes and sour cream!
What’s the problem with these little innocent “croutons?” They’re taste is enhanced when eaten with chicken soup or salads. Just don’t EVER eat them solo!
And BTW, those little yellow squares are LOADED with fat and calories. I personally don’t think they’re worth it. I’d rather eat a tub of Chubby Hubby. Not that I do. But that’s only because I don’t eat them. The little yellow squares that is. And chubby hubbies. Hmm, could I possibly need some more sleep? Or more coffee? Oh gosh…
We just call em Soup Nuts
Now your scaring me Skylar. I did eat just a few(I swear) ‘solo’.
What’s going to happen to me?
Somehow my aunt got a hold of these in Dallas (a lot of my family moved here recently) for our pre-Tashlich lunch. I think they’re great for chicken soup, and now that I think about it her house is the only place I’ve ever seen them. Maybe ‘cuz my uncle’s Israeli. I really try not to read the ingredients of anything that comes from Eretz Yisrael because I assume it’s all good for me…at least spiritually.
