>>Kugels have been a staple of Jewish cooking for centuries. Kugel, which means "ball" in German, originally referred to balls of noodle dough encased around fruity filling and steamed in covered pots. Kugels evolved over time into baked casserole dishes. Today there are recipes for both sweet kugels (generally dairy) and savory kugels (usually pareve*).<<
*pareve =prepared without meat, milk, or their derivatives and therefore permissible to be eaten with both meat and dairy dishes according to dietary laws. ORIGIN Yiddish.
