In my family it was simpler: flat egg noodles with cottege cheese.
Sometimes with sugar, sometimes with salt. Lazy man's kugel, perhaps,
but that's my father's comfort food [between bouts of veganism] and he
passed it to me.
Hmmm, maybe there's something to that dairy-noodles thing cuz' if we're
gonna brag about kickass ancestors, I got a few stories... Dad boasts of
great-great called Varish [Barysz?], called by some The Polish Superman,
who picked up a heavy doubletree and took out attacking Cossacks in a
rage [number of Cossacks varies with the telling]. I'm still trying to
run that one down on the Internet but the spelling variants are making
it slow going.
