An Amazingly Appetizing Yom Kippur Recipe from London's J-TV

J-TV: The Global Jewish Channel is based in London. It features weekly segments on Jewish wisdom, current affairs and entertainment. 

This year they've cooked up an amazingly appetizing recipe for Yom Kippur. There aren't many recipes for this fast day, but here's one you'll be sure to try.

We'll be attending synagogue services tonight and tomorrow, but we'll be back on Thursday with our usual mix at Jewish Humor Central.

Wishing you an easy and meaningful fast.

G'mar Chatimah Tovah!

A Gogl Mogl - Bubbe's Recipe for the Common Cold

The Gogl-Mogl, sometimes spelled guggle-muggle, is a hot foamy drink imported from Eastern Europe. Its adherents wax poetic about its miraculous ability to cure colds and sore throats.

From time to time, we see references to it on Jewish websites. Yesterday we came across a new video showing how to prepare it on the Yiddish Forward website and since we're in the middle of winter and flu season, we thought we'd share it with you today.

Maybe it's the honey, the hot milk, or the raw egg that's the active ingredient, but we think it's the shot of whiskey, rum, brandy, or Slivovitz that does the trick. Curiously, this last ingredient is not even mentioned in the recipe presented in Yiddish with English titles by Eve Jochnowitz in the video.

L'chaim!
