My friend Jeanette of The Other Vic Theatre Company 2 has an aversion to gefilte fish.
For those of you who are not familiar, gefilte fish is not really a type of fish. It is a fish product of some sort enjoyed principally by Jewish people.
Basically, it is an amalgam of several different varieties of fish (whitefish, pike and others unknown to me). The fish is all lumped together and made into an oblong of some sort. It is then stuffed inside a glass bottle along with some sort of gross gelatin like substance. No one normal eats the gelatin substance.
Personally, I enjoy gefilte fish.
However, if we approach this rationally or irrationally, this should be something your child could make. Just let them take clumps of fish, mush it together and make it into a kind of ball. I think it w/b good for children in kindergarten to make in arts and crafts, bring home, and watch a parent eat it. Unfortunately, we never did this in Yeshivah surprisingly enough.
I haven't researched this but I'm wondering if there's a gefilte fish fan club of some sort.
Seeing as Jeanette has a birthday coming up, I know just what to get her.

Just the thought of gefilte fish makes me gag. They look like jellied white turds. Yuck yuck yuck.
I actually have a new post up myself. Go visit me.
I guess gefilte fish could have been added to my weird foods list, but then again, it is pretty common isn't it?
Thanks for pointing out that I really had no idea what I was eating though:)
Leave- But what do you really think?
Janet- I wonder if New Jersey has Gefiltefest. If not, would you be interested in participating?
I feel about gefilte fish the way most people do about fruitcake. GAG!
Can you give gefilte fish like a golden anniversary present? The five year anniversary is the gefilte fish anniversary?
