  Shana tova.

  Three others come to mind .... the first I am sure some will recognize and 
help me with - it's a comparison between rich and poor. when a rich man eats 
meat, it's such and such, but when a poor man eats meat, it's just a something 
or other. That's the pattern of the song - meat, fish, bread. Help!

  The second one is a folk favorite - Varnichkes.

  The last one is a borscht belt classic aptly named Esn.  It can be found on a 
recent CD of Yiddish humor and it enumerates the entire typical Grossinger's 
type menu down to the alka-seltzer.

    The Adrienne Cooper songs referred to are "Borsht" (which is more of a love 
song than food song" and "Yontev Peysakh" - the latter song is best for food 
references.  Shirim recorded "Bulbes" (potatoes) on their Newport Classics Cd, 
"Oy, It's Good."

      Adrienne Cooper has a lovely song about holiday foods on Dreaming in 
Yiddish , can't recall the title.
