A Pig's Tales
Just drive thru Creve Coeur Missouri. I sold Jeeps there and the Jewish negotiator is tough....therefore the phrase..."He jewed me down." Although I NEVER used that phrase.
It is Middle Eastern. Jews eat it, and so do Greeks, and so do Turkish. The list is endless.
You could have called on my Jewish expertise, though! Latkes! Perogis! Kugel! Lox!
isn't the authentic jewish wine: "i wanna go to new york!!" 
))
LOL!
Bagels. Lox. Cream cheese.
Latkes....mmmmm....
Blintzes.
Borscht.
Beagle and Cream Cheese. I know you have half the recipe.
Sound kosher to you?
Hummus, because it's Kosher is popular in Israel. So's felafel, though I don't imagine you can get much of that in Texas. Neither are exactly Jewish. Now Matzoh, that's Jewish and in supermarkets right now, probably even in Texas somewhere.
Oh, and Pierogis are delicious, but Polish more than Jewish. But latkes- those are Jew-licious.
I would have taken bagels and lox, too. But hummus is yummy. Didn't know it was Jewish, though.
BEAGLE and Cream Cheese? Poor Gus.
Someone was already bringing the lox and bagels and the latkes. I took home a bunch of leftover lox and cream cheese bagels. YUM. I've got to make that for myself more often. Now my mouth is watering. I wish I had more.
There is plenty of falafel to be had in Texas, thank-you-very-much.
And I knew lots of Jews in college (in Texas); they were a really fun and interesting crowd. Every year they would have an Israel Fest on one of the campus lawns, at which they did indeed serve falafel, hummus, and tabbouleh on pita.
There is a large Jewish population in Dallas, south of 635 in the Forest Lane / Hillcrest area. Aaron Spelling was from Dallas. He lived over in "Jew Town" as my Granddaddy called it. His high school graduation was in a synagogue.
In our grocery store you can get He-Brew, which is Jewish Beer.
better to be perplexed than verklempt
When I think Jewish food, I think corned beef on rye which makes me think of Michael's Deli which makes me hungry.
Oh and egg creams.

Jewish deli? It's worth the drive to Fort Worth for Carshon's. Matzoh ball soup. Yummmm!

Did you like my sister's keeper? I had "the pact" by jodi piccult for my book club selection a couple months ago and I LOVE her...I've read a ton more of hers since then...Salem Falls was really good, My sisters Keeper was pretty good too...
txgrl-
I did like it! It was sort of captivating. I'll have to look into some of her others.
Living that sheltered Dallas life before moving up East, I had no idea about Judaism much less their diet. But now, watch out! My weekly diet usually includes half-sour pickles, Matzo ball soup, tabbouleh, and corned beef on Rye. When I am in a deli, I sometimes get Noodles Kuhgle (sp?) which is like a casserole.
And then there are the Yiddish/Jewish phrases that I have picked up along the way. Oye. The Agita.
Just because something is Kosher does not mean that it is "Jewish." Today at the grocery store, I bought popcorn that is kosher. This is your "authentically Jewish" friend, and I would not consider popcorn to be Jewish food. Just because something is Kosher does not mean it's a Jewish food.
My Mom does not think of Hummus as being a Jewish food.
Hummus might be considered New Jewish. It's a Mideast food that's become an Israeli food. Most traditional Jewish food is eastern European.
Because there's a prohibition in kosher law against mixing meat and dairy products in the same meal, it's easier to keep kosher if you eat fish such as lox or whitefish. But I consider "a nice brisket" Jewish food.
Kinky Friedman! And the Texas Jewboys! There's some Texas sons of Israel!
And MAN wasn't kidding about Creve Coeur, either.
I just addressed the subject here:

Hummus is actually an ancient dish, probably Arab in origin
