 | | Anything that is not religious and claimed to be Jewish is merely a cultural practice adopted from surrounding cultures by various Jewish communities. |
 | | Yiddish, a German dialect (derived from the word Judisch, the German word for Jewish), is unknown to most Jews and European foods made kosher (religion/superstition based dietary taboos) are not from the torah, they are from Eastern Europe and are unfound in the lives of Sephardic, Yemenite, Bukharan, Cochin, Gruzim, Romaniote, Italkim, and Mizrahi Jews. |
 | | However, although these foods are completely unknown to most Jews throughout the world, these foods are well known to almost all the non-Jewish Europeans whose ancestors are responsible for creating these dishes. |
