| I'm going to stop in a Kosher grocery store today or tomorrow. What should I get, besides matzo balls? |

Like what? I'm looking for something unique to a Kosher store that's interesting to get. |

In other words, interesting Jewish fare. |

| Kosher grocery stores are not as interesting as Asian grocery stores. They basically have similar food as a regular grocery store, but everything is guaranteed kosher, so no shellfish, pork products, cheese + meat combos, etc. |

OK, thanks. I was hoping for some interesting food I couldn't get elsewhere. |

I agree with others. The food isn't necessarily unique, just kosher. And I can usually cook it better, but just look at the prepared foods and see what stands out. When I buy prepared kugels and things like that I often find them too salty and lacking other flavor. Sometimes they have good Israeli snacks that enjoy. |

| Whitefish salad? Smoked salmon? Awesome pickles? Corned beef deli meat? I'm not Jewish, but that's what I would look for. And good matzo ball soup bullion in powder form. I like Streitz or Steitz (sp?), but hard to find online in regular sodium. I like the Maneschewitcz matzo ball mix. Sorry my spelling isn't great. It's a goy! |

| Matzo balls is a very weird thing to buy at a store since most people can very easily make them fresh at home. They are dumplings and are only served in soup. The store will likely carry the Manischewitz matzo ball mix which I do recommend. |

| Israeli products are often only sold in Jewish groceries. Like olives, date spread, Sephardic spices |

Kasha, bamba peanut curls, egg matzoh and salami for matzoh brei, kippered salmon, lox, half sour pickles, and
As much smoked sable as you can afford. I’m not Jewish, but these are things that I would get that aren’t always readily a available at the stores I usually go to. |

You're unlikely to find Passover Coke except during the spring in the few weeks before Passover. |

Israeli dairy products.
Fresh Bourekas, pitas Mousaka and other middle eastern specialties from the deli counter |
