The Yiddish Chefs Cook Up a Peasant Meal on the Yiddish Farm

Earlier this month we featured a video about the Yiddish Farm in Goshen, New York, and how it has become a destination for volunteers who were looking for a back-to-the-earth farming experience and also immersion in the Yiddish language.

Now, our favorite Yiddish chefs have journeyed to the farm to use its produce and kitchen to create a peasant meal featuring white beets and spinach, while chatting with each other in Yiddish (with English subtitles, of course.)

Here are today's Yiddish words and their English translations:

Goyshen (Goshen)

Berikes (Beets)

Shpinat (Spinach)

Shrotzim (Bugs)

Shrotzimlach (Little Bugs)

Opgossen (Sink)

Grintzen (Veggies)

Skorinkeh (Bread Crust)

We assume you already know the Yiddish words for garlic, dill, and frying pan from previous recipes. If not, check them out here, here, and here. The list of ingredients and quantities appear below the video. Enjoy!
