Let’s get to it! KNISHES. As a child who was force-fed every pickled, eastern European thing on god’s green earth…I never, ever eat Jewish food willingly. And the only kind of knish I’ve ever eaten is the $1.50 hot dog truck sour pretty gross kind. But given the opportunity, Jamie will sway anyone he is with to keep kosher. So after years of resisting, I conceded to eat at Yonah Shimmel’s Knishery.
Wow wow what a stupid dummy. The broccoli knish slathered in spicy brown mustard was mushy, filling and delicious. I mean, it’s pretty simple. It is a good potato! That tastes even better with abundant coleslaw and half-sour pickles (tangentially: not the best kind of pickle, but still suitable). Jamie and I deemed one potato thing not enough and also got a potato latke. Note the absence of apple sauce. I’m from the no bullshit, Only Sour Cream School for Fat 5 Year-Olds, so. If you don’t like your latkes slightly burnt and really chewy, don’t get this. But if your grandma’s latkes were slightly burnt and really chewy get this and miss your grandma with me.
All in all, thanks Jews, thanks Jamie. Next year in Israel just kidding definitely not in Israel somewhere else entirely.

this was the first time i had a potato knish that didn’t come in quadrilateral form! i’m all grown-up now. it’s literally a huge mound of potato mush that you slather with mustard. i was very disappointing and did not finish the whole thing. my jewish grandmother was very mad at me about it (this is exactly true). also - COLE SLAW. you don’t know anything about cole slaw unless you’ve had it from my (not-jewish-pretty-catholic) grandma who makes it with SOMUCH mayo OR unless you’ve had it from yonah schimmel. it had a horseradish kick and minimal vegetables other than the cabbage (finally).
yonah schimmel’s website is knishery.com, by the way. i thought this was very important to know.
our check came before we could order a second knish, one of their dessert options (blueberry-cheese or cherry-cheese?! a great dilemma). i guess it didn’t seem possible for anyone to eat another one? i was really sad about it for the whole night.
(You thought I was gone but I’m back, here’s a post-script for the terribly concerned: we are about to blog our fucking brains out [blogblogsblogsslgohfw]. Resources may be scarce but we are making it work and eating everything in sight. Just for you! Not because our hunger is selfish and insatiable.)](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ll82a8iT9J1qfvw9oo1_500.jpg)
