Post #2 - February 27th, 2014, 10:08 amBy process of elimination, I got all but three right. Then again, I was always good at multiple-choice tests. Many I truly didn't know but was able to deduce. Others were quite beyond the expected.

Post #6 - February 27th, 2014, 3:14 pmHow the heck is kugel associated with the "Divine Phallus"?

Post #7 - February 27th, 2014, 3:22 pmAgreed about kugel. Perhaps this explains it:
From wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KugelThe name of the dish comes from the Middle High German kugel meaning "sphere, globe, ball"; thus the Yiddish name likely originated as a reference to the round, puffed-up shape of the original dishes (compare to German Gugelhupf—a type of ring-shaped cake). Nowadays, however, kugels are often baked in square pans.
