## Resource

On today's episode of our daily Jewish deep dive, we're tackling one of the most deceptively simple, passionately debated, and carb-loaded pillars of Ashkenazi cuisine: kugel. Is it sweet or savory? Noodle or potato? Raisins—yes or absolutely not? From bubbling Shabbat tables to synagogue kiddush showdowns, kugel has sparked more family arguments than politics and more nostalgia than almost any other dish. We'll trace its journey from medieval Europe to modern American kitchens, unpack how a humble baked pudding became a symbol of home, and explore why one square of this golden casserole can taste like your grandmother's entire worldview. Loosen your belt—this one's going to get starchy.
