Below is a list of dishes found in Jewish cuisine . Most of this section is Ashkenazic. The list needs a lot of Sephardic and Mizrachi material in here, though it would make it quite unwieldy. Any thoughts? Traditional Ashkenazi dishes Ashkenazi Jews are the Jews descended from the medieval Jewish communities of the Rhineland in the west of Germany . Ashkenazim or Ashkenazi Jews are literally referring to German Jews. Many Ashkenazi Jews later migrated, largely eastward, forming communities in non German speaking areas, including Hungary, Poland, Lithuania, Russia, Ukraine, Romania, Belarus, and elsewhere between the 10th and 19th centuries. As most of these countries share a similar cuisine, and where occupied by the Russian and Austro Hungarian Empires until the end of World War One, the place where the dish was originated is quite uncertain. class wikitable sortable border 1 width 90 width 100px Name width 70px Image width 150px Origin Description Babka food Babka File Chocolate babka.jpg 70px Russia , Poland , Belarus description Bagel File Bagels Montreal REAL.jpg 70px Poland description Bialy File Bialy.jpg 70px Poland description Borscht File Borshch2.jpg 70px Poland , Russia Clear beetroot soup, usually served cold with sour cream Blintz File 100 0774.JPG 70px Russia description Brisket File Example.jpg 70px other places description Challah File ChallahS.jpg 70px other places description Charoset File Olve haroset.jpg 70px other places description Chicken soup Jewish Chicken soup File Example.jpg 70px other places description Cholent Cholent Chamin File Vegetable cholent.jpg 70px other places description Chopped liver File other places description Horseradish Culinary uses Chrain File Example.jpg 70px other places description Farfel File Farfel in alu tray.jpg 70px other places description Gefilte fish File Gefilte fish.jpg 70px other places description Goulash File Gulasch.jpg 70px Hungary Meat stew Gribenes File Example.jpg 70px other places Chicken or goo ... more details
