    Ann, thanks for your interest and for attending a Hadassah fundraiser. Let me first tell you what you were eating. The noodle dish is called kugel, the coconut dessert was probably a macaroon, and the tuna salad was... tuna salad. None of them were probably kosher, though they could all be made that way. As for the difference between Jewish Food and Hebrew Food, here's my take. Jewish Food is a not-so common term and refers to foods that almost all Jews have grown up with. As most of us do not refer to ourselves as Hebrews, Hebrew Food is not a term any of us use. The term Hebrews feels very ancient and biblical rather than contemporary. Like Canaanites or Babylonians. Also, we don't like that it can be shortened to the pejorative 'Hebs.' To us Hebrew is a language, not a religious identity.
