    When you go to a Hadassah fundraiser and buy food in America, the food could be American, Jewish or Israeli. It sounds to me like you ate some American Jewish food, and some plain old American food. The only sure thing is that the food is Kosher (follows Jewish dietary laws). Traditional Jewish food is a combination of dishes commonly eaten by Eastern and Western European Jews, as well as foods commonly eaten by Jews in the Middle East (like falafel, hummus, pita bread, etc.). In America, such things as bagels with cream cheese and lox have come to be considered Jewish, but around the world, bagels are considered American. In fact, until recently, it wasn't very easy to find a bagel in Israel. And even Hasidic Jews in America are influenced by what is eaten by all Americans.
