Huh? What? Anyone wanna hazard a guess as to how to pronounce that? I'm scared to try, lol. I saw it here, and it is jelly donuts from Mayim's Vegan Table cookbook by Mayim Bialik. They say the recipe is labor-intensive but unbelievably delicious!

Soof- gawn -ee- yote - not much emphasis at all on the "ee" sound. It actually sounds like the ny in "canyon."
Along with latkes, they are traditionally eaten at Chanukah.

If you like fried jelly donuts, then yes! On the Chanukah threads here, they are discussed yearly. Not that I would know because I am apparently "not into religion."

if they are made right ( and you like jelly ) they are good. Personally I'm not really a jelly donut person so I cheat and add pastry cream and strawberry jelly for strawberry cream sufganiyot. Hamantachen now those ( made right ) are excellent with jelly, jam, nuts, I generally make like 6 fillings for those. And I have 2 dough recipes. And it's only 1 month til Purim. I can't wait.

I'd love to try your hamantaschen! Me, I love all things fried. But my favorite Jewish dessert is rugelach. I love cream cheese dough.

Well you listed two things I really like. If you said "raspberry", "blackberry" or "blueberry" I would pass, but apparently I am going to need some of these now. They sound very good. Pastry cream is of the Gods!

Funny to see that in a title this time of year! LOL. I only see people post about them (aka jelly donuts) around Hanukkah. Good for Mayim for increasing awareness of delicious calorie laden food! LOL

I love rugelach, but alas it's the one Jewish dessert I haven't perfected ( read failed at multiple times ) So I buy mine from the Jewish bakery.

I just like how pretty Mayim is when she isn't being Amy. I'm shallow like that.

I really didn't want to make some awkward sounding something, lol. I'm not Jewish, but maybe I could make these pretty soon. Not as an all the time thing, but a girl needs a dessert now and then!

You don't have to be Jewish at Chanukah in order to love a good jelly donut. Mayim is strictly kosher and sometimes people who are kosher will go vegan.
Try them. You'll have a very happy tummy and a very happy child on your hands, as well.

If you live in a place where there is no Kosher grocery store, butcher shop etc. how do you buy Kosher food? I live in a medium sized city with not a small Jewish population and we don't have a Kosher store. Do you have to be vegetarian or eat only fish and chicken as your meet to meet your dietary needs? What if you want a good steak? There have to be Kosher supermarkets in larger cities like Vancouver ( paigepea ) and I have heard of one in Seattle, but it's far to get to those places. Not to mention you can't bring meat from the US to Canada. We have a halal butcher shop and he has nice cuts of meat. We also have an out of this world *halal deli/supermarket. He sells a little of everything that anyone who likes to eat would find something wonderful. He also has a kitchen in the back where he roasts lamb, caters parties, makes gyros, shawwarmas and other things. Walmart sells halal chicken, but I will NOT buy food from Walmart. I just don't find the store clean and don't want to eat food from there. I also don't like their business practices, but it's the food that concerns me. It's kosher that is weird here. You can get matzos and a little bit of food and I mean one small shelf of kosher food at the old Safeway. That is it. I had to edit *halal there as I wrote the wrong word. I am sorry.

You can get matzos and a little bit of food and I mean one small shelf of kosher food at the old Safeway. That is it. Kosher food is sold where there is significant demand. Most practicing Jewish people live where there is a significant Jewish congregation so they can attend synagogue and practice their religion. In these places, there is usually somewhere to find kosher meat. In remote areas, you can bring in kosher meat / order it. If you make a large enough order it can be delivered to you. I would say that most people who keep kosher / want kosher meat make it a priority to live in an area that sells those products. Many, many products in the grocery store are kosher. You just need to know where to look for the markings. Specialty food, like meat is sold in different places. In Vancouver, we have a kosher butcher shop, a couple of other kosher stores that sell kosher meat, plus a couple of local grocery stores (Superstore, Canadian grocery store) sells kosher meat, cheese, and baked goods. We also bring kosher meat / poultry home across the border from Seattle and Bellingham the trader Joes in Bellingham sells kosher meat so much cheaper than I can get in Vancouver that it is often worth the 45 min trip. Now that the cnd dollar is doing so poorly, and because there was a ban on bringing US poultry in to Canada, I'm used to buying chicken at home. 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts can be $12 at Trader Joes and $25-30 at home. A beef brisket is $30 at TJ and $100 at home. There are greater controls over kosher meat, so many people think it is safer to eat. While there are greater controls and more checks on how livestock is kept / slaughtered / processed, I think it is wrong to think that the process is all roses. Paige. Eta - I thought this post reference to Hanukkah was funny to see at this time of year, especially since hamentashen are so good and are ready to come out for Purim!!

It is too far to go for a day trip but if we were to drive down to Seattle again sometime I might like to stop there on the way home. I am in Greater Victoria (Saanich) and it's still 4 or 5 hours to Seattle including however long it takes at the boarder and you know that can take forever some days. I wrote we have a kosher deli but it's a halal deli not kosher. Too early in the morning to be thinking...

LOL This made me laugh. I was reading vitamix vegetable soup recipes before coming here. Fried dough is more enticing than slurried carrots.

Two superstores have kosher meat - Vancouver marine drive and richmond ironwood - because of demand, I doubt the other stores sell it. I wouldn't say all superstores sell it. We shop at TJ in Bellingham which is 45 min from my house in central Vancouver. Every TJ we've ever been to in Seattle has had kosher meat. If you call ahead TJ will put it aside for you. We declare everything when we cross the border. Beef had no ban. Poultry had a ban but i believe it has been lifted. There is no duty on food items.

I had no idea we could bring meat or poultry into Canada. I just assumed it was a product that would be confiscated at the border! You do learn something every day! There is still the drive from wherever Trader Joe's is and then to Tswassen to Swartz Bay to Victoria. That's a long way to go to get it. Is all fish kosher as long as it has gills? Even bottom dwelling fish?
