Jewish Humor Central is a daily publication to start your day with news of the Jewish world that's likely to produce a knowing smile and some Yiddishe nachas. It's also a collection of sources of Jewish humor--anything that brings a grin, chuckle, laugh, guffaw, or just a warm feeling to readers.
Our posts include jokes, satire, books, music, films, videos, food, Unbelievable But True, and In the News. Some are new, and some are classics. We post every morning, Sunday through Friday. Enjoy!
Mediterranean Crisp Tortas from Spain, healthy mini fruit pops, kosher barbecue, and Israeli craft beer. These are some
of the prize winning and unusual products on display yesterday and today for
the thousands of visitors representing all aspects of the food industry at Kosherfest 2018 at the Meadowlands
Exposition Center in Secaucus, New Jersey. More than 400
exhibitors lining both sides of seven aisles are vying for the attention
of visitors (trade only -- but some kiddush aficionados seem to have found
their way into the hall) who try to manage noshing and stuffing literature into
the bags provided by some vendors (and rolling suitcases brought by
attendees). And there's plenty to nosh and to stuff. Some of the
samples are meat, some are dairy, and some are pareve. But all three
types are scattered around the show floor, so anyone trying to keep kosher has
to make careful choices. The vendors are
hoping that visitors will make bulk purchases, and some of the newer, smaller,
and foreign companies exhibiting for the first time are hoping to find
distributors who will bring their wares to your local supermarket. If you love
kiddush, can make a case for being in some kind of food-related business, have
a few hours to spare and don't mind walking a a quarter mile to a parking lot,
this is the place for you. It's still open all day today, Wednesday, from
10 am to 4 pm. The on-site registration fee is $110. We interviewed
a few of the exhibitors and got closeups of some of the more unusual delicacies
in this video for you to savor. We're presenting them in two parts today
and tomorrow. We apologize
for the loud background noise from the 6,000 attendees milling about the
exhibit space while we were conducting the interviews. Listening with earbuds
or headphones is recommended. Enjoy! A
