Happy Diwali

I have no idea what any of those are, i'm guessing some kind of fish dishes, i'm too lazy to google?

Also the Indian sweets they serve up on Diwali are tooooo nice!
Ridiculously calorific though!

Not sure if its of Jewish Origin, *[I]after googlin*[/I]g it appears to be something started in the Naval world before the advent of proper fridges, but it is very popular amongst the Jewish community yes :)

Make up your mind!

**Farfel **are small pellet-shaped noodles, made of flour mixed with egg, similar to egg barley.

"A sufganiyah (Hebrew: סופגנייה‎; plural, sufganiyot: סופגניות) is a ball-shaped doughnut that is first fried, pierced and injected with jelly or custard, and then topped with powdered sugar, similar to the German Berliner, the Polish pączki, or the Russian ponchik. In Yiddish, they are known as ponchkes. They are usually eaten warm."

Basically doughnuts..

"Tzimmes or tsimmes (Yiddish, Hebrew: צימעס) is a traditional Ashkenazi Jewish dish in which the principal ingredient is diced or sliced carrots, sometimes combined with dried fruits like prunes or raisins, or chunks of meat (usually brisket or flanken). The dish is cooked slowly over low heat and flavored with honey and sometimes cinnamon. The variations are endless. The non-meat version tends to be sweeter, along the lines of candied yams."

"Babka is popular among Jews, particularly those with family origins in Eastern Europe. The Jewish version however is different from the one described above. It is made from a doubled and twisted length of yeast dough and is typically baked in a high loaf pan. There is never a fruit filling; the dough contains either cinnamon or chocolate. It is usually topped with streusel. A similar cake called a kokosh is also popular in Jewish bakeries. Kokosh also comes in chocolate and cinnamon varieties, but it is lower and longer than babka, is not twisted, and not topped with streusel."
