User:Abs622/Kugel Yerushalmi

Kugel Yerushalmi (pronounced kuh-gull or koo-gull) is a staple of Ashkenazi Jewish holiday meals. Kugel is a Yiddish word derived from the German word for ball or globe. Kugel was once cooked in a round shape, but today most Kugels are square or rectangular. A Kugel can come in many different flavors and varieties.

Yerushalmi Kugel is comprised of sweet noodles and salt and pepper. The Kugel originated in Eastern Europe during a trip that the Yeshiva students of the Vilna Gaon took to Israel. The Kugel originally did not have a sweet flavor, but while traveling the students encountered a sweet Kugel and then incorporated that feature into the salt and pepper Kugel, which ultimately became known as the Yerushalmi Kugel. The recipe calls for very thin noodles, eggs, caramelized sugar, and black pepper.
