cjboffoliParticipantGenHillOne: You have the right idea. But the center has a slightly denser texture than mashed potatoes. And there is a lovely, delicate golden crust on the outside of it. I’m obviously goyim and not privy to the secrets of how they make them but the crust part seems to be more than just potatoes. It is almost as if they mix a tiny bit of flour or something into the potatoes. But they’re not dry. They have a moist, buttery goodness. Any meshpucha out there care to share their knish-making secrets?

GenHillOneParticipantSold! And it looks like you can choose a variety on that website, so I’m going to sample :)

KayleighMemberI was hoping this was a bondage thread….dang…
Only to find that it’s filled with words I don’t even know, like knish and goyim.

JanSParticipantGen Hill One…there are also liver knishes…had to throw that in there for Kayleigh :) – made with chicken livers …
knish..a savory jewish pastry
goyim…or goy…a non-jew, a gentile

KayleighMemberOMG, liver in pastry.

kestrickerMemberHey JanS and Mutha- I grew up in Reading, PA also! Weird. Actually I lived in West Lawn and graduated from Wilson HS in 1990. My Mom still lives in West Lawn and most of my family still live in the area- Pottsville, Pottstown, etc. Love V&S, go there every time I visit. In fact my aunt grew up very close to 16th and Cotton- are you familiar with the Pennypacker family?

JanSParticipantkestricker…wow, again…Pennypacker sounds familiar, but it’s a pretty popular name back there. My dad was born in Pottsville, grew up in St. Clair…spent many a summer vacation there with the grandparents and cousins, etc.I went to RHS..but that’s where one goes in the city unless you’re Catholic.( and I won’t say when I graduated – lol – it was wayyyy before you)
Amazing that we all ended up in West Seattle!

cjboffoliParticipantKayleigh: While this is decidedly not a bondage thread, there is definitely pleasure in these foods and great pain in not having immediate access to them.
OK. Your friendly neighborhood “pretentious twit” signing off. :-)

KayleighMemberLOL, CJ. I’m twit enough for both of us. Just ask my ex-husband. :-)
The (non-liver) knishes actually sound really good.

JanSParticipantChristopher…for what it’s worth…here are links to two different places. I’ve been to neither, but reviews seems to be good on Yelp, etc.

I’ve always meant to go to Philly Fevre, just never get there…and the other is a chain..3 locations around here – Kent, Redmond, and Shoreline…
should we let Mikey do it? lol…
