And that same article claimed that bagels were invented in New York, because the first mentions of bagels served with cream cheese and lox were from NY.

I do remember seeing one article that claimed invention, but that one was absurdly specific at defining “falafel” as specifically “falafel served in pita with this particular assortment of toppings, the combination of which isn’t often found outside Israel.” I haven’t seen it elsewhere.

It seems like people are interpreting any reference to it as an Israeli food (even in contexts where that clearly just means a food commonly eaten by Israelis) as a claim to have invented it.

I can’t find the actual video now (can’t remember which platform I saw it on — might have been a facebook reel), but it was the first part of this. youtu.be/ZfyuDACjVtI?...

The show framed that segment as, “A rural working-class woman is coming in with her thick accent, making her own community’s food, and showing those stuck-up fancy chefs that she’s just as good as them,” and then the comments were that mess.

Last time I encountered it, I responded with an excerpt (translated from the original Hebrew) of a Jewish traveler from Yemen in the 1500s who arrived in India and immediately searched for the local Jewish community, and lived among the Spanish Jews in Cochin for a few months.

A lot of people insist that, before Zionism, Jews in different places didn't see themselves as all members of one group -- that the idea of "the Jewish people" was something imposed by Zionism.

I know Morocco was colonized by the French, but I don't think the French speakers in New Brunswick had much to do with it.

And these pancakes weren't even made of the same grain (the Canadian one was buckwheat, and the Moroccan one was semolina), or served the same way (one savory, one sweet.) But they looked similar (because they're both pancakes that are cooked on just one side), and that was enough.

And no one was willing to accept "Many different people figured out that you can mix a grain with a liquid and then cook it in a pan."

The "stolen foods" thing just gets ridiculous. Worst one I've seen was a Canadian cooking show where someone made a traditional Acadian pancake, and the comments were full of Moroccans saying it was stolen from Morocco, and Algerias saying the Moroccans stole it from them first.

And he did do a video for Rosh Hashanah. Mostly in English, but with a few Hebrew words, which he pronounced incredibly well.

A New Yorker eating an Israeli bagel would just create brand new discourse, possibly even worse than Cuomo's bagel order.

If you gave birth to a baby the day Republicans started saying they had an alternative to Obamacare, your kid is taking driver's ed classes now, but there's still no plan.

Also, James Woods really hasn't gotten much work in years. Mostly just video game voiceovers for a series that started decades ago.

I really wish we could make the necessary and important point about how much hateful Islamophobia is being directed at Mamdani without saying, "Actors could never get away with saying it about the Jews!"

Because, you know, Mel Gibson still gets plenty of work.

There were plenty of people, both in the US and elsewhere, who wrote at the time of the Revolution that "Liberty" was meaningless if we allowed slavery to persist.

I learned this one the hard way -- those Skittles in the black and orange bag are mostly regular Skittles, but with a few super-sour ones mixed in, "for fun."

Learned the hard way: the Skittles in Halloween packaging are actually Skittle Shriekers, which are mostly regular Skittles but with a few super-sour ones mixed in. I was not prepared for the contortions my face made when I bit into the first sour one.

The school system where I grew up basically told us that we should start thinking about that sort of stuff in middle school. We'd already been discussing where we wanted to go to college since preschool.
