    How do you pronounce the shabbos staple? Any good recipes or tips how to make or enhance it?

    A teaspoon of dried ginger in the mix adds a lot of flavour but no actual taste of the ginger.

    either will do.

    As with all languages, vowels frequently shift between dialects, and some Yiddish dialects said “oo” (as in “boo” or “moo”) and some said “oh” (as in “go” or “so”).

    Use a higher quality, lower fat meat or substitute dark meat turkey or one of the new beef substitutes; try using less salt, experiment with lentils in lieu of the standard beans and try sneaking in some dark green leafy vegetables. Also, keep the pot on the edge of the blech if it tends towards “hot” to avoid drying out by shabbos lunchtimel

    The Hungarians have a joke, what is the difference between Lot’s wife and solet (pronounced sholet), the answer is nothing they both became salt. The meaning in Hungarian as chulent is pronounced is solet meaning became salt as ‘so’ means salt and ‘let’ means became.

    I’m definitely cholent, and I suggest adding 2-3 fresh garlic cloves; it really enhances it!

    Reb E might confirm if a “salty” Ungarishe chulent (or “cholent”) is culinary apikorsus

    I like to saute an onion, sear the cheek meat, add 3/4 cup chulent/cholent mix, 1 cup barley, lots of spices, a bit of kechup, put a lot of water. Enjoy!!!

    My eldest BIL’s family calls it Chunt. They hailed from Minsk in the 1880s

    When we were really little kids, a grandparent originally from Minsk served us something on Shabbosim she called “Plov” which in my vague recollections looked like and tasted like the stuff we now call cholent, chulent or chunt.

    I was driving on the Long Island Expressway sometime in the last year and passed a car with the license plate “CHOLENT”. This made me both hungry and quite envious. I have since done teshuva by giving tzedakah to the Clean Air Fund.

    This thread gives me comfort that I could apply for a vanity plate with one of the alternate spellings.

    You can now purchase a customized Harley that runs on Methane that will go a long way towards your teshuvah obligations and desire to promote tikun olam.

    whats the secret for the meat to stay soft and strandy? Is it the type of meat used or the way you cook it?

    The type of meat is important. Cheap chulent meat is meant to add taste to the chulent but the meat itself isn’t the greatest. I like to use cheek meat.
