I take exception to the 0.71 inch per bite ratio. Those aren’t very big bites.

Kishke, in the Jewish context, is cow intestine stuffed with flour, flavored with beef fat and spices. Slavic and other East European cultures have kishkes that use pig innards. At the time, Brownsville was a Jewish neighborhood in Brooklyn. Pitkin Avenue was its main commercial street.

I generally operate on a don’t ask/don’t tell policy, when it comes to food made with intestines.

I love kishka, but it’s almost impossible to find with natural casing these days, even in NYC. So many kosher delis have closed in the past few years.

14 bites! Not 13, not 15. 🤣😆😐 Is this a code? 🤔

HairyWeisenheimmer t1_ja36v78 wrote

14 shall be the number thou shalt bite, and the number of the counting shall be 14. 15 shalt thou not count, neither count thou 13, excepting that thou then proceed to 14. 16 is right out.

They probably gave the first one to Hirch, and asked him him many bites it took.

Kishke is THE best Ashkenazi Jewish food and I WILL die on this hill. It's been my favorite since I was a child. Yes, I understand the description can be off-putting, as it is generally cow intestine stuffed with a mixture of starches and chicken fat, but if you eat sausages, you know that sometimes, delicious things come from less-than-pretty origins. I highly recommend it.

Except the value of 13 cents in today’s dollars is around $1.50. Not especially exciting for fast food.

Two large hamburgers for $3 sounds pretty good to me in 2023.

It says “kosher”. Same in Hebrew and Yiddish.

Thanks. I had the phone reading the image and it said “Foreign text.”

So useful.

Anyone know which cross street the kishka king was located? I grew up in e ny/brownsville in the 50s and i recognize the signs but not sure if the signs were remnants or if the deli was still standing.

I wish someone would post a pic of the jungle jim coconut milk stand that was right off pitkin pretty close to the loews pitkin theatre. I loved pitkin

The large hamburger is 13 cents. It’s 25 cents for 2. I know it was the old days but even then this must have seemed like a bad deal.
