That word 'Megillah' sounded very familar to me ... 

"Megillah - A long story"

"Yiddish for Yankees or, Funny, You Don't Look Gentile" 
(Yes! ... the actual title! IOW, G'nossen tsum emess! <g> )
http://www.yiddishforyankees.com/ 

Which may be found (sometimes) at 
http://www.alibris.com or 
http://www.www.amazon.com

For online reference,

... and then click 'M' to find ... 

"Megillah - A long story"

The glossary had some food (or food related) items ... 

Bialy, Borekes, Chrain, Geshmak, Holishkes, Kasheh, 
Kishkeh, Knishes, Lokshen, Ongetrunken, Prezhinitse, 
Ptsha, Rossel flaysh, Shav, Shmaltz, Shtark gehert, 
Shtrudel, Ta'am, Taiglech, Varnishkes, Vursht, ... 

... but not Hamantaschen -- sorry.  

Looking at other pages of that glossary ... 

Kenen oyf di finger - Have facts at one's fingertips. 
[I wonder who that could be?  <g>]

Oi vai iz mir! - Woe is me! 

Trepsverter - Lit. step words; zinger composed in retreat; perfect
retort after insult analysis (maybe late a little). 

... plus so many more that I wanted to pass along ... but 
decided to send in a message of their own.  

Also found on the same site ... 
The memory of a dear, wise relative always saying you can 
curse your enemy with love if you talk to them in Yiddish,

Slainte!

Vincenzo 
(not Jewish -- but collects and shares Yiddish Words; 
is from the Italian Renaissance -- in theory anyway; 
at times, teaches/wears a Feileadh Mor -- Great Kilt; 
... the backstory to "connect those dots" is a very big 
Megillah!)
