Available year round at Giant too though.


I thought matzoh balls needed chicken fat and soda water and were a big production? They can't be all that easy to make right. I know Parkway Deli has lost its magic.


They are really easy to make. Matzah meal, eggs, oil, seltzer, salt. Refrigerate for 30 min, make into balls and boil till they float. If they don’t need to be parve you can substitute schmaltz for oil. Some people use plain water instead of seltzer. Even easier is to use the mix—sort of like making a dunken Hines cake.


Thanks.

Depending on where they get their baked goods - if the bakery is good, chocolate babka or rugalach.

And second the pickles, cured meats and fish appetizers, but again, depends on what kind of store it is - whether it's upscale enough to have a good variety there.

Bisseli and Hashachar Ha'ole. Not in the least bit nutritious but my kids took sunbutter + Hashachar sandwiches to preschool everyday.
