I’d say ‘Jewish Food’. It’s been called that for a long time. A more correct term would be European or Ashkanazi food, since Jews who have heritage in other parts of the world have different foods. The term ‘Israeli Food’ might work, but that includes a lot of Middle Eastern things too. The sweet macaroni might’ve been ‘noodle pudding’. Even though Israeli Jews speak Hebrew, the term ‘Hebrew Food’ doesn’t sound right, not racist or anything…just doesn’t sound right. It’s called Jewish food because of the heritage it comes from. If it meets some diet requirements, it can be called ‘kosher’. Those requirements, among others are: no pork, no gellatine, the food including the animal to be slaughtered being blessed by a rabbi, and that you don’t mix the meat and dairy of the same species of animal (this comes from the saying that you can’t ‘bathe a calf in it’s mother’s milk’) I don’t follow a ‘kosher’ diet, but knew someone who did.
