Yes, it is the same one..
it describes what all nations like to eat and concludes that nothing beats 
Gefilte Fish...(that's the real humor in it!). It also has a cute minor.major 
switch at the B part.
Thanks to all for your leads,

  I have never heard this song mentioned before.  My uncle came from Russia in 
the late 70's and used to sing it to us all the time.  I would also be 
interested in finding info on it.  Was real cute.  If I remember correctly I 
believe it starts with "siz a meichel vos hot toizend tamin."

  Is this the same one?

    Anybody knows the author and/or origin of a Yiddish song called Gefilte 
Fish? My father used to love to sing it....At one point I even thought he had 
written it! Until I heard it on a recent Russian/Yiddish recording, but still 
couldn't figure out where it came from.
