A samosa is an Indian appetizer--usually kind of a pastry shell with potatoes, carrots, peas and spices, sometimes with various meats.

I used to collect tintypes but they're so much harder to find now....

Default There Is No Shatzkin Kinish Receipe Out There

FYI---I am the daughter of the real Shatzkin Kinish of Coney Island. The receipe remains a closely guarded secret within the family.

Wouldn't the daughter of the Knish family know how to spell KNISH, then?

Smile Typo Error

Dear Nancy did you ever make a typo in a word sorry. I do not have to prove to you I am the daughter of a Shatzkin. You can ask me anything about my family from Seagate Coney Island to present day. I have meet my great grandma Ethel I need to prove nothing to you. All those message boards claiming they knew my dad or the family receipe are all inncorret thus far. I worked as a little girl for my dad in Coney Island to all the stores he built in shopping malls from Brooklyn to Washington to Florida. Nancy prove me wrong that I am not the daughter.

[quote=Wisteria;1111574]Ah, so you see, I have become acclimated to the West! My thick skin is eroding!

Actually, though, since I don't live in Portland, and I'm not up-to-date on what's popular and what's not there, I really shouldn't be giving opinions of that nature, anyway. Those of you up there would know what would work best anyway. It's just an interesting topic to me.

I live in Limbo now anyway -- part of me still has that eastcoast vibe, and the other part is westcoast -- I've got a foot in both worlds -- and I tend to lose my balance sometimes!



Wisteria, I read your posts with great amusement. I too am a NY transplant and just got back from a week of visiting family. It is waayyyy different from the west. People are on their toes all the time (survival, doncha know) and are quick and snappy. It takes me a day or two to re-acclimate myself but get the hang of it. Then I get back to Ashland and have to stop being in a hurry.

We're looking at a move to Portland in a year or two because Ashland is just too small and quiet. It's a lovely place but... snore... My husband won't go back east and isn't interested in moving back to SoCal, where we lived for the past five years, so Portland is now in the running.

Keep up with the NY insight, already. Livens things up a bit around here. (And why are westerners so quiet compared with northeasterners? I feel like such a loud mouth here but my brother-in-law in NY admonished me to 'come out of my shell'. Oy.)

Besides, I miss the Yankees.

Nancy, did you know that the evolution of corned beef and cabbage on St. Patrick's Day may have emanated from the Lower East side of NY? When the Irish immigrants couldn't find Irish bacon they substituted what their Jewish neighbors used, which was corned beef and/or brisket. In Ireland, corned beef and cabbage (yuck yuck yuck) is considered an American, um, 'delicacy.' Our Irish-American family eats that stuff every year and every year I hate it.

Well, the English also eat bubbles and squeak and bangers and mash (and warm beer). and haggis (I'll let you google that one)
But, they look pretty healthy to me. At least they have National Health.

Look, I really want to get out of NY and I make a mean knish..what the heck. You know what they say, a knish by any other name....
Thanks again and any feedback is appreciated.
I have never had a knish but have heard of them...am not Jewish and am a native Houstonian but as a recent transplant here to Portland I'll be the first in line to taste one!! They sound intriguing.... Good luck!!!!
By the way, what did you think of your trip here???? I'm dying to find out!!

Knish is pretty good but it all depends on your taste buds. I personally love Key Lime Pie from Queens, NY. The BEST I've ever had in my life. It's nice to travel and experiment with different cuisines, especially some of the hole in the wall places that offer those hidden jewels
