Chicken soup, bread & butter

[Proximal]

My wife has this pressure cooker, insta - pot rig & has been cooking up a storm. Damn if good ole chicken noodle soup with a chunk of bread & butter doesn’t kick major ass! Soaking that bread and butter in the bottom of the bowl, f-me!

If you are jewish, you get it. You are close enough, so you got it.

Got what, that you linked something unnecessary to a bowl of soup, bread & butter? Are you naive? I’m 61 & I’m not. Keep comments like that out of my threads, TY.

Actually, you are the one who seems a bit naïve with your kvetching. If an alter cocker like you doesnt think that many people think of chicken soup and jews together, you must live under a rock.

A Brief History of Chicken Soup, the ‘Jewish Penicillin’

"Chicken soup is the undoubtable symbol of Jewish cuisine. But the hot broth — made of scarce and expensive fresh meat — was not always readily available in every Eastern European Jewish community....SNIP"

How about the famous book




You seem a bit touchy to be involved in free open discourse on the interwebs.

Being a New Yorker who grew up on jewish chicken soup, i enjoyed your chicken soup post. My post was just a subtle nod to that experience as a kid. Queens blvd, from Forest Hills to Kew Gardens was full of little Kosher restaurants, where you got soup, and buttered rye bread, blintzes, perogies, knishes, bagels with a schmear, franks and sauerkraut, etc... I ate in those places several times a week growing up, and every weekend with the families of the several jewish girls i dated out of high school. The shops were ubiquitous where I lived. I still constantly eat the stuff to this day.

Nazi?? Thats a first time I've been accused of being that.

Reading your reaction made me realize that sense of humor can be regional. What's meant as a wink and a nod from me, can be taken as an insult by you.

I dont get it, but I get it.

There are more jews in new york than any other state. https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org...tates-by-state

Those who grew up and live here can not help but be influenced by the culture. it is common to make reference to that culture in everyday life. Maybe not so much by where you are. If you see the guy next to you on the subway about to sit in some dirt or debris on the seat, would you say "hey, watch out for that schmutz on the seat?" probably not. If you have to look up the word, forget it.

Just to be clear, there was no ill intention in my oy veh. Its just something we say around here.

Just like being in a restaurant when some waiter or waitress drops a glass and it breaks, does some patron invariably shout out "mazel tov!" ? Around here they do. Its funny, folks get a good laugh, then go back to eating. I guess you would take offence to that. If you dont get that reference, ask somebody jewish before you get bent out of shape.

Nah, it ain’t regional; I’m an ultra-conservative mf’r from the south side of Chicago.

Now, had I said Matzo ball soup, get it, DIRECT correlation & an acceptable response because I cracked that door open.

However, I didn’t and more importantly, my wife of 35 years made the soup and your response of ”oy vey” isn’t really a response of positivity is it?

Are you catching my drift? If you are going to respond to a comment I made about my wife, keep it positive or keep it to your fucking self.

As I said, i thought it was positive. i surely meant no disrespect to her. I meant it to be positive. Chicken soup around here is correlated to the jews, in a good way. Maybe I see now. you thought I was insulting her. But I didnt know from your post that she was jewish, so how could i have been insulting her?

Ask her about the waiter and the broken glass. she probably sees the humor. You, maybe not. To each his own.

Again, certainly no disrespect meant.

TY for the post. She’s a girl from Queens and yes Jewish. It’s an age thing (defending the missus) & at times I get thin skinned.

Damn fine soup though! The simplicity of soup, bread & butter just brought back memories.

Gym closed & I’m already cheating on my diet, lol. Not a good mix.

Again, thank you.

Don't forget to butter her buns too

Oh, now you went TOO far, lol. Firm at first, but when that big stick of butter really gets hot, nice & creamy!

Just NOT on my chicken soup!

Queens? So she knows about the spots I meant, especially near the court house on queens blvd. And Main Street north of Union Tpke. Up to jewel avenue.

But did you ask her about the glass in the restaurant thing? It always gets a big laugh. Try it next time.

I have to wait till she gets home from work. But I doubt she’ll remember Queens too much, she left 55 years ago.

[C27H40O3]

OK. I get it. But she will surely get the humor in the glass at the restaurant.

When I was a kid, my neighborhood was italians and jews. We mostly stayed separate, but sometimes we associated with one another. It was natural for me to start dating jewish girls in high school. At that time, most NYC cab drivers were jews. A few of my girlfriends' fathers were drivers. Since many leased the car by the week, and they didnt have a family car, we used to drive around in the back of a big checker cab all over queens to shop and to eat. those cabs were built like tanks. i think they were custom bodies on GM frames and powertrains, but i could be wrong. they fit alot of groceries in them, thats for sure. and all in free paper bags!

Eventually, shortly thereafter, i moved on to fat ass spanish and black chicks, and never looked back.

[C27H40O3]

i'll wait for you to ask her before i explain it to the brothers here who dont know many jews in their lives, and so probably dont get it..

[Proximal]

I told her the joke and she laughed, it was appreciated.

BUT, as a proud female she didn’t appreciate the reference/inclusion of race with fat bottom chicks, lol.

[C27H40O3]

yeah. i get that. However, i will not comment any further about jewish women and what they might get irritated about. With my experience in my early years, i could go on all day.

We are getting along so good.

[C27H40O3]

OK, for all the brothers who might not do a bunch of eating in restaurants with jews present, and might not have experienced it, here is the explanation.

When we are out in restaurants and a waiter drops a glass and it loudly breaks, someone eating often yells out "mazel tov". and several others present all laugh. This is because at the end of the ceremony at jewish weddings, the groom wraps a glass in a napkin and smashes it on the floor, loudly breaking it. At that point, those present yell "mazel tov".





When you hear that in a restaurant, it reminds you of being at a wedding, so you jokingly yell "mazel tov". Maybe its a new york thing, I dont get out of town much. Although while visiting the car show in Carlisle Penn. one year, we ate in a local place. When someone at the buffet counter dropped a glass, of course i yelled out my usual. They looked at me as if i had tourette's syndrome. Clearly they didnt get it.

But then again, maybe it was just the place. I asked for a beer. The waitress said "sorry, its a family restaurant." I asked what that has to do with beer. I said "I didnt ask you what time the strippers come on, i just asked for a beer. What does that have to do with a family restaurant?" She saids it was a dry county or town or some such shit. I thought that ended with the end of Prohibition.
