Is really kishka Jewish ethnic food? I mean, it is from Polish word ,,kiszka" meaning gut or intestine, and it is name of Polish dish similar to sausage (but much worse in taste) (made from guts).

You are misinformed. Kishka (the kosher variety, as described in the article, made of beef intestine stuffed with matzo meal filling) is indeed a Jewish ethnic food. I can't say I enjoy it that much, but I have indeed eaten it. Just google on kishka and you'll get lots of Jewish links. --Rpresser 15:02, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

It should be added that the word kishkes is Jewish slang for "balls", i.e. the English phrase "He has no balls" would use the word kishkes for balls.

This is also misinformation. Kishkes is definitely not slang for "balls"; it is slang for "guts". In English the two phrases "He has no balls" and "he has no guts" have similar meanings, i.e., the man is a coward, but the body part referred to is definitely different. --Rpresser 15:02, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
