Re: CHAT: cross-culturation

The local Ukrainian eateries (in New York City), and
Polish too IIRC, serve challah, and there's no reason
they couldn't put ham and cheese on it.  Perhaps it's
an Eastern European thing turned Ashkenazi?

I just checked with our friendly neighborhood
Ukrainian co-worker who confirmed that challah is
quite an ordinary thing among non-Jewish Ukrainians,
often eaten around Chrismastime.  He wasn't sure if it
was a Jewish thing turned Ukrainian, or vice versa.
