MY SAY: A LATKE FESTIVAL IN BROOKLYN
Last night five of us- son and daughter in law and my two youngest granddaughters trekked out to Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn to the stately and elegant Brooklyn Museum for a latke (potato fritters- a Jewish culinary tradition) festival.
We were first greeted by a huge illuminated sign that simply said “OY”…the traditional complaint of my brethren. Inside there were hundreds upon hundreds of people milling about and tasting about twenty varieties of latkes- curried, chilied, fruited, traditional, Mexican, Moroccan, Russian, Thai, and laced with a variety of international flavors and spices. It was a joyous and diverse event with very friendly people of differing race, religion, age, nationality, ethnicity, and religion.
To say I had a wonderful time is an understatement. rsk
P.S. I make competition ready Latkes! rsk
