Jewish Food Bad?

I love Jewish food. The kugels, the knishes, the latkes, the chicken soup, cholent, blintzes, stuffed cabbage, knaidel, kreplach, lokshen, bagels, holishkes, borchsht, meatloaf, matzoh balls, pollo frito, and even the herring in cream sauce.

I suppose a lot depends upon how you cook them. Most of these dishes are Germanic/Russian, and it takes a light hand, specific techniques, and some skill to present a delicious dish. These are not fast food dishes. They take time, and if you rush them, they will not turn out well at all.
