ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Kugel

Kugel is a special food that many Jewish people make for holidays and special events. It's kind of like a big cake made out of noodles or potatoes and other yummy things.

It starts by boiling some noodles or cooking some potatoes until they are soft. Then, you mix them with other ingredients like eggs, sugar, spices, and sometimes fruits or vegetables, depending on the kind of kugel you want to make.

After you mix everything together, you pour it into a big baking dish and put it in the oven to bake for a while. When it's done, it should be golden brown on top and smell really good.

There are lots of different kinds of kugel, and they all taste a little different. Some people make a sweet kugel with raisins or apples, and some people make a savory kugel with onions or cheese. But no matter what kind of kugel you try, it's always delicious and special!
