So, what *is* a "knish"? I went to the site but there isn't any verbal 
description, just the photos. I guess they expect that anyone looking 
for the site knows what they are. Are these stuffed biscuits? Or 
something more like a stuffed potato pancake or dumpling? This is a 
traditional Jewish food, right?
