Noodle kugel Submitted by: Kim Fogel, Administrative Specialist II Agency Administration - Of ce of Public Affairs & Community Relations
Noodle kugel is an 800-year tradition among Eastern European Jews, who brought it to the United States and continue to serve it at family gatherings and holidays (except during Passover when you would use matzah instead). The version here comes to us courtesy of my sister, Linda Simon Hall of Tampa, FL. We grew up with kugel in our home in White Plains, NY and at family gatherings in Brooklyn, NY and Providence, RI. However, one critical issue divides even the closest of families, and that issue is: Should raisins be added to kugel? I am in favor (“About a half cup should do it”). Linda is opposed (“Raisins are evil”). So you’re going to have to ask yourself: Which side are YOU on?
