Israel's Machane Yehuda Market: Kanafeh vs Rugelach

[@orland0110]

Jamie, it is so nice your coming out with another video. We need you more on KZbin, you are too great!

[@jamiegeller]

Thanks so much, make sure to share the video with your friends so we can get more feedback.

[@ninecatsmagee8384]

OMG love Israel. The FOOD. The street vendors. The salads. The outdoor cafes. The schwarma stands. Warm evenings in a garden, dinners over hours with friends. One of my best memories in life.

[@jamiegeller]

Yay

[@Amila-ym7ny]

you love colonialism how cute

[@laniehrlich9271]

Marzipan surprised me last week. I normally don’t like rugelach but devoured one of theirs in 5 seconds. They’re SO GOOD

[@jamiegeller]

Yup!

[@masonresnick5105]

When we last visited in Sept. 2019 a friend said "you must go to Marzipan and get the Rugelach." Indeed: It's the best Rugelach in the world!

[@larosadesierta9146]

I love your videos, keep them coming!

[@orland0110]

My vote is definitely with the Ashkenazi Rugelach.

[@jamiegeller]

Yummy

[@zabenaleid2547]

We all know Kanafeh was her favorite. I understand cultural pride and bias, but seriously, let's be frank. Kanafeh is on another level. 💯❤️

[@jamiegeller]

LOL, it really just depends on where you get the kanafeh

[@pattikubacki622]

You crack me up!! I love Rugelach but now I want to give the Kanafe a try. Thank you.

[@jamiegeller]

Please do!

[@SuzanneBaruch]

That Rugelach was atypical, and a "rubbery" Kanafe is atypical, too. Given my choice between the two when they're made in the usual way, I'll always choose Kanafe.

[@jamiegeller]

Totally hear you, it all depends on which versions you try

[@lutfi1981]

Knafeh is a palestinian desert from nablus

[@annabella1250]

Marzipan Chocolate Rugelach (Ashkenazi) all the way! Trust me, I've tried it!!!!

[@HadasahB]

Haven't tried either ... YET. Guess i'll just have to get back to my favorite city in the world!

[@jamiegeller]

Yup

[@MsNeten]

Was just there this morning wondering what that fried kanape was all about so thanks for explanation! And yeah! Cant beat those rugelech! So amazing!

[@jamiegeller]

Try the kanafeh next time though.

[@mcomeslast]

They both look yummy!

[@binyominjacobs5760]

Thank you for putting out his fantastic video. Brought back so many "sweet" memories . (Plus I don't think I have ever seen marizipan so empty ) Hopefully I will be able to return soon and this time with a one way ticket ) As for as preference I have never had kanafeh which looks very appealing. Meanwhile I'm rugelach person all the way (particularly with a cup of coffee)

[@jamiegeller]

You are so welcome, so glad you enjoyed, hope you get to come back soon.

[@rmsternau]

My vote is definitely the chocolate Rugalach.... 😋

[@jamiegeller]

😋

[@LittleKosherLunch]

I’ve never seen such a shiny rugelach! This was a great one!

[@jamiegeller]

I know!

[@aprilking9039]

coming in January God willing! we'll be trying both! No place like the Shuk, we would love more videos like this!

[@jamiegeller]

So great to hear will try

[@ishalocke1123]

Jamie - More of the Jewish population than any other group are gluten free - can you do a special for different diets? I’m totally drooling!

[@jamiegeller]

Such a good idea, will try

[@LucasWxyz]

With the great Joel Harber!!! The best Machane Yehuda tour guide!

[@jamiegeller]

Totally!!!

[@karenasher726]

rugelach for sure!!! It's a classic.

[@YeshuaLove0722]

Love Jamie Baruch HaShem for her cooking

[@V-zc5vf]

In quali pasticcerie li hai mangiati???

[@JewishLife]

what's the Hechsher on the food you eat ?

[@jamiegeller]

Mehadrin is what I eat.

[@johannaaleman9082]

Thank you Jamie for sharing the food from my Favorite place My PRECIOUS JERUSALEM 😍🇮🇱👍.PEACE FOR JERUSALEM 😍🇮🇱.

[@jamiegeller]

So glad you liked it

[@chanafd]

Can you do more videos like these

[@jamiegeller]

I would love to, make sure to share the video so we can get lots of views

[@Grace-pp3dw]

Thank you. Hallelujah. Grace 8 50 Grace 8 60 4 Shalom

[@lisannebarendsma6064]

my vote is the knafeh, its the best one i ever taste in the shuk

[@yitzi5734]

Try the meat Knafe just across from Hatch (great beer btw), now that's different. I think the Mazipan rugelach are a bit too doughy and find other bakeries better, but people seem to love the doughy sugary stuff - to each their own

[@yassink5266]

rugelach with black coffee the best combination

[@EmilyArzola]

What a yummy coincidence... I had purchased both of these at my local Trader Joes this morning 😹 .. of course nothing beats the real thing in the Holy Land 🙏💙🇮🇱🕎

[@jamiegeller]

So fun!

[@jeanneamato8278]

You need to do more videos. Please!!!!!

[@jamiegeller]

Yes, so glad you like it. Share the video, if we get lots of views I will do more.

[@hermanlevine237]

to me Rugelach. is my favorite thought in the world of pastries 🍰I like so many of them they are Ssssoooooo 😋 delicious and yummy 😋

[@kc-wr1ui]

I love rugelouch!

[@zaharabardavid]

Ashkenazim need everything to be sweet and put sugar in everything! Of course you're going to pick the rugelach, Jamie, because you're Ashkenazi and you naturally go that way!

[@nerminkocal9030]

Merhaba. Afiyet. Olsun.

[@harrietlevin5121]

Rugelach from Marzipan wins hands down! It's hard to believe that anything that delicious is pareve. The owner, Yitzchak, is such a mench. Did you see Michael's z"l picture there? They were good friends.

[@jamiegeller]

I know, so good. Didn't see the picture.

[@stevena.2306]

I've never seen rugelach with that ratio of chocolate; I have had rugelach at 6 different NYC bakeries and nothing comes close to that look. It would be the same choice for me.

[@CDRNY25]

I'll take Palestinian Kanafe any day.

[@WolfikCZ]

Haha my name is Machane. Lets go to Jerusalem!

[@jamiegeller]

Haha, yes!

[@yzar007]

When you make knafe use ricotta. It’s devine.

[@jamiegeller]

Sounds great

[@phlarrdboi]

She didn't even need to leave her home to do that into! Hooray for green screens baybeeeee!

[@chayabat-tzvi1215]

I'd pick the knafeh.

[@jamiegeller]

Great choice

[@spinedoc18]

MIddle East flavors are much better than in America! Fresher ingredients and some of that attitude.

[@jamiegeller]

LOL totally!

Israel actually made me a diabetic. I couldn't stop eating pastries while in yeshivah. it was bad!! lol

[@jamiegeller]

LOL, I can relate

[@artbaugh3]

❤️

[@micheleperry.]

but Ashkenazi is a descendant from Japheth which is a Gentile by blood line. That's even in the Torah Genesis. Not being mean just curious of why Ashkenazis claim Israeli line when it's not Bible correct.

[@sahark4353]

How dare you indulge in knafe, taboule, baba ghanoug, ARABIC dishes you culture-less people!!! Don’t you know this is the food which raised our brave freedoms fighters in South Lebanon and Gaza?

[@adamodeo9320]

those dishes were eaten by people BEFORE the Arab conquest and how dare you rewrite the bible and call it Quran and how dare you speak in a language taken from the Hebrew and how dare you to claim our prophets?

I think you mean Palestine, colonizer

[@junaid1]

This won't go over well with a lot of people: But I am frankly sick of the mizrachi food in Israel, It is not really Israeli, it is simply arab food that the mizraachi people make a big fuss about. I have to admit that I prefer spicy real fish to gefilte, but other than that...kanadelach, kreplach, chicken soup, etc are much more appetizing than all the Arab dishes that we have in Israel. Shwarma may be nice the first 15 times but give me a good pastrami on rye anytime.
