Sweet Fishballs
Beigels of course
Smoked Salmon
Latkas (kinda like a jewish take on a hashbrown but quite different)
Halva (really nice sweet stuff that is based on sesame seed stuff, very rich)
Onion beigels
Jewish style Cream Cheese (good shizzle!)
Kosher Salmon Cutlets
Various other delights that I am trying to think of....

That all sounds tres bon.

Is there a traditional drink?

There should be chicken soup somewhere

The ride should be fancy dress. Hasidic outfits compulsory.

We might be mistaken for a Blues Brothers ride.

Nothing that was particularly common amongst more liberal Jews, although you can get some pretty cool kosher/Israeli fruit juice things, and of course the awful Kosher Wine, if you can stomach the stuff, its more like sherry than wine, or Dessert wine I guess.

Of course there is the famous Jewish style Chicken Soup of course, and gefilter fish (cheers Mark!), Pickled Gherkins were always a popular one...I never like them though.
A few more:
Chopped Liver
Egg and Onion (a weird Jewish type of Egg Mayonaise thing with less mayo, bit difficult to describe)
Challah bread, very nice stuff!
Matzah (unleavened) flat bread
Not sure if i'm missing anything else?

Farfel
sufganiyah
Tzimmes or tsimmes
Babka

Now there's an idea...

We could even have a world record pile up in the middle!
