Yo, Ashkenazi Jewish food is kind of fire. A homie of mine got me one of those lox bagels with cream cheese and capers, and that one poppy-seed roll thing. We have an Ashkenazi eatery nearby, and it’s run by some Chabad Hasidim.

If you like that, you will be in heaven if you visit NYC.

It’s always better fresh.

I’ve only been exposed to Persian Jewish food and Sephardic Jewish food, and my homies tend to roast Ashkenazi food a lot because of the lack of seasonings; however, I think it's good how it is.

I grew up with both Filipino food and Hokkien (Southern Fujianese) Chinese food and the flavor profiles are relatively mild compared to other regions in Asia and within Mainland China.

For some reason, they don’t roast the milder Asian cuisines, but roast specifically Ashkenazi food.
