...affect our international ally. Moreover, the United States certainly does not contemplate war with France—as it did with Germany early in the twentieth century, when sauerkraut briefly became “liberty cabbage.” But changing the name of America’s favorite potato junk food is hardly an effective enough finger-wagging to reprimand France...
While hamantaschen are not to be missed, they are by no means the highlight of the bakery. The borekas ($1.50), a flaky pastry filled with savory mashed potato, are another delight. The sweets may steal the spotlight, but the long logs of borekas that sit in a display case should not be ignored. Borekas are heavy enough to satisfy an immediate craving yet light enough to have as a late afternoon snack...
...shop is the butcher’s area. Prime cuts of meat killed according to Kosher laws sit proudly in the display cases. The remainder of the store is divided into aisles filled with prepackaged Kosher foods, imports from Israel and other gourmet items: pre-cooked and frozen potato latkas, bottles of geflite fish balls, matzoh balls and chicken broth.

That palette of gray, black and bottle-green marked Van Gogh's somber style ("Painting peasants is a serious business," he observed) until he moved...
