Latkes
* Latkes.
I’m not sure, but you probably got a friend-like my friend Jimmy M…who seemingly all day long e-mails me all kinds of crap. Being a good friend- Jeff Eats opens these e-mails, and most of the time-as expected, crap…
With the above in mind, a cute piece of crap that I just got from my friend Jimmy M.-is down below…
One final thought, if you enjoy getting an endless stream of e-mails that contain pictures of naked terrorist women, clowns with no noses, chickens that weigh 247 pounds and stories proving that Obama is the son of Alfred E. Newman, let me know and I’ll pass your e-mail address onto my friend Jimmy M.
Before you get to Jimmy’s e-mail, whatcha think?

My contention is that more Jewish men have been killed by potato latkes than in all the wars and by automobiles. Emergency rooms at this time of the year are filled with Semitic-looking men with clogged arteries, serious acid reflux, etc. It is not clear if the Jewish wives are well aware of this phenomenon or if it just important to adhere to this strange ritual.
Jewish Weapon of Mass Destruction
A pancake-like structure, not to be confused with anything a first-class health restaurant would put out. In a latke the oil remains inside the pancake. It is made with potatoes, onions, eggs and matzo meal. Latkes can be eaten with applesauce but COULD also be used to comb your hair, shine your shoes or lubricate your automobile. There is a rumor that in the time of the Maccabees, they lit a latke by mistake and it burned for eight days. What is certain is that you will have heartburn for the same amount of time. It tastes GREAT but will stop your heart if the grease gets cold.
Striking resemblance!!!
Jeff,
You got your Jimmy M and I got my Jack C.

Jeff,
I’ve said it before and I’ll say again, you bring a whole different viewpoint and style to the food/entertainment blogosphere.
