You’ve heard the cliché ‘s about how on Christmas, Jewish people like myself order Chinese Food.
It’s not a joke. It’s not even a cliché . You see there’s a tradition that goes back to 1935 when Eng Shee Chuck brought a dinner of chow mein to the Jewish Children’s Home in Newark on Christmas Day as a special treat.
But, the tradition of my people dining on Chinese Food goes W-A-Y back to the 1800s. You see, I was brought up in a kosher household and there were very few restaurants where we were able to dine out. Fortunately, there are so many vegetarian dishes on a Chinese restaurant menu, that it was easy for a kosher family to get take-out. Also, since Chinese cooking doesn’t use dairy, there is little to no chance of violating kashruth by mixing milk and meat products. Of course, there was the pork issue, but many chose to ignore that.
NOTE: I don’t keep kosher, so dining on chicken and broccoli over white rice is a tradition that I grew up with. Best of all…
This year, I’m doing it myself
Stir-fry is my jam! Some people like to do one pan cooking and toss it into the oven. Not me. Give me a stir fry pan or large skillet, some great Perdue Farms Fresh Cuts Chicken Breast Strips.
