The Eight Days of Chanukah

Do I have to tell you? That it's a song? A parody even? That its about the food? I didn't think so.

Since it's low fi here's the words:

[lalala. . .
OK that was a little joke, but good cooking should be should be like music for your tummy, and good cooking is Chanukah, etc]


On the first day of Chanukah
my bubbie gave to me:
potato latkes - as it should be!

On the second day of Chanukah my Israeli neighbor gave to me:
sufganiyot, and potato latkes - as it should be (with sour cream!)

On the third day of Chanukah, my sister gave to me:
sweet potato latkes (modern, but not too modern!), sufganiyot, and potato latkes as it should be (sour cream, un less you flaishik in which case apple sauce!)

On the fourth day of Chanukah, my cousin married to the Italian gave to me:
four ricotta pancakes, three sweet potato latkes, two sufganiyot, and potato latkes as they should be (you want seconds?)

On the fifth day of Chanukah, my bachelor brother gave to me:
Five Golden's brand frozen latkes! (He tries!)
four ricotta pancakes, three sweet potato latkes, two sufganiyot, and potato latkes as they should be (in chicken fat to go with the brisket!)

On the sixth day of Chanukah my vegan all-raw neighbor gave to me:
shredded carrots in olive oil - thanks a LOT!
Five Golden's frozen (he can't help it!)
four ricotta pancakes, sweet potato latkes, sufganiyot, and potato latkes as they should be
(OK, fine, dairy, with some smoked whitefish and herring on the side - and sour cream!)

On the seventh day of Chanukah my third cousin the chef gave to me:
seven mini taro root pancakes drizzeld with macadamia oil and a coulis of passionfruit, (he called it amuse-bouche - is that Yiddish?)
shredded carrots in olive oil (you think I'm making this up?),
Five Golden's frozen (give him credit at least they weren't microwaved!),
four ricotta pancakes, sweet potato latkes, sufganiyot, and potato latkes as they should be
(grated by hand of course, and never, ever reheated!)

On the eighth day of Chanukah,
my children gave to me a very messy kitchen,
seven mini taro root pancakes drizzeld with macadamia oil and a coulis of passionfruit (talk about potchky-ing!),
shredded carrots in olive oil (word! feh!),
Five Golden's frozen (like you've never done it),
four ricotta pancakes, sweet potato latkes, sufganiyot, and potato latkes as they should be
(in schmaltz with grivenes!)

[that's not al. . . ]

On the day after Chanukah, my doctor gave to me:

a lecture.

Happy Chanukah! Essen! (Eat!)
