Many foods we think of as Jewish are not unique to Jewish culture. Touring Eastern Europe, you’ll find out that stuffed cabbage, a traditional Jewish dish, is very common. Blintzes and knishes are familiar to all Germans, not just Jewish ones. Falafel and hummus, increasingly thought of as Israeli-Jewish foods can be found in any Greek restaurant. But, he combination of these varied foods into one style of cooking, along with our own innovations, is uniquely Jewish.
