The standard knishes at Corky and Lenny's in Cleveland are made of chopped-up liver. Is this unusual? (They also have potato and corned-beef knishes.) Mwalcoff 23:30, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
- As a standard, that's pretty unusual. I don't think there's any doubt that mashed potato knishes are the standard; go to any supermarket freezer and you'll probably only find that variety. Kasha knishes are common in bakeries that make them. And then you start moving into Yiddish (i.e., your chopped liver knishes) and American fillings (i.e., Mrs. Stahl's in Brighton Beach, NY makes not only a legendary potato knish, but also many varieties including spinach, broccoli and cheese).

[edit] Brooklyn Slang for Knish
As someone who grew up in Brooklyn, when some guys were going out to get some "Knish" they didn't always mean these potato "dumplings." Is this usage common enough to be included? 69.228.240.57 06:24, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Mustard?
You eat knishes with mustard? No, you eat knishes with gravy, if anything. At least that's the way we do it in Cleveland -- Mwalcoff 00:13, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
I'd like to try that sometime! But the classic way to eat a New York City knish is with mustard. Usually the brown Gulden type. Ketchup is okay, too.--Magmagirl 14:57, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Other Variarions?
User 24.193.195.201 has stated that sauerkraut, onions, kasha (buckwheat groats) or cheese are traditional fillings. Growing up in NYC, I have never seen these varieties, only the potatos or ground-meat. Has anybody else seen these other fillings? Dyl 01:23, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
I've seen kasha and spinach, other than potato, but that's about it. Sauerkraut sounds like it'd be good though!--Magmagirl 18:54, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
How in the HELL can a Hot Pocket be counted as a knish?!
[edit] Street vendors
Are there places outside NYC where you can buy knishes on the street? Cleveland and Toronto have large Jewish populations, but there's no such thing as a knish vendor there. I doubt you'd find one in LA, either. -- Mwalcoff 01:49, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
