Hey, Hanukkah just kind of snuck up on me this year! So uh Happy Hanukkah. Yeah.
Had to google that word to post a comment, first thing that popped up was potato pancake. Kind of insulting when you think about it…
How is that insulting?
instead of Latke is a potato pancake its a Potato Pancake is a Latke, but thats wiki for ya.
Not everyone calls them Latkes, they’re not strictly a Jewish thing. It’s logical enough to use a more, say, scientific term for them rather than a term that applies only to one culture.
Yiddish makes its way into all sorts of Jewish culture. You really can’t overestimate Germany’s influence on Judaism.
