What does KUGEL mean in Scrabble?
noun
A baked casserole or pudding in Jewish cooking, traditionally made from egg noodles or grated potatoes bound with eggs.
A kugel is a fixture of Jewish holiday tables, especially for Shabbat and festivals such as Passover and Rosh Hashanah, where sweet noodle versions with raisins and cinnamon sit alongside savory potato versions seasoned with onion and pepper. The word comes from Yiddish, where it originally described anything round, since early versions of the dish were baked in a round pot. Recipes vary widely by family and region, from crisp-edged potato kugel to a soft, custardy noodle kugel.
