    Hebrew is only a language, not a country or a culture. Therefore, there is no Hebrew food. Food that is prepared according to Jewish laws is called Kosher. These laws describe, for example, which animals can be eaten for their meat and how they must be slaughtered, that only fish with scales are allowed, and that meat and dairy cannot be mixed at the same meal. What you consider ‘Jewish food’ represents the tastes primarily of the eastern european Jews who emigrated to the United States in the early and middle 20th century. A bagel and cream cheese, for example, would be considered by many New Yorkers to be a regional food, not necessarily a Jewish one. The sweet macaroni and cheese probably consisted of egg noodles, cottage or farmer cheese [not a melted hard cheese] and either cinnamon or sugar [or both]. This noodle pudding is known, phonetically, as luck-shun koogel in Yiddish. I don’t know of an inherently Jewish coconut dessert, and I would hope that even in Evansville non-Jews enjoy tuna salad. You can find it at any Wesselman’s, Pantry Foods or Schnuck’s in town.
