Hebrew is the language. Jewish means pertaining to Jews. The ‘sweet macaroni and cheese’ you ate was probably lukshen kugel, a sweet noodle pudding usually eaten by Ashkenazi – European (esp. Eastern European) – Jews. The only thing that really makes food truly ‘Jewish’ is if it’s kosher – that is, if it is made according to Jewish dietary laws. Pizza, paté and sushi can all be kosher. The foods that people usually associate with Jews – bagels, kugel, etc. – were usually copied from the countries in which these Jews lived.
