Talk:Kugel

message: Special blessings/holiness from eating kugel? Hebe, please. Where are these super-superstitious Jews (outside of Crown Heights, and they just play superstitious on TV)? Yes, noodle kugel is traditional Joosian food (I had it once at a bat mitzvah reception--a little more hardy than the typical bagel-and-lox spread). You know, secular Jews, as well as conservative, reform, regular (real) Orthodox (not Lubovitcher cultists) Jews, eat kugel and do not ascribe any sort of hoodoo to it. It's food. It's ethnic food. It's your culture.
Such comments as are in the article's current form smack of exoticism and--dare I say it--threaten the NPOV. Perhaps if you showed citation for such behavior within the Lubavitcher community and attributed it as such it might fit... assuming even the Lubavitchers are that silly. They are pretty silly, but in general they seem to be, like Hamlet, only mad north by northwest. 98.180.8.57 (talk) 09:28, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

message: The  shell scripts Wikipedians looking after disambiguation pages typically won't let me arrange the disambiguated items in a meaningful way as long as the term has a "primary meaning" (by which they mean that one topic happens to be situated at the un-disambiguated title).
So technically speaking, I would suggest that the Kugel dish is not the primary meaning of the term "Kugel", even in English. Most instances of "Kugel" in English literature are references to people with the surname. 
I don't really have an issue with the article residing at this title, but due to the extreme inertia stability given to Wikipedia procedure by those editors applying guideline pages algorithmically, it may make sense to move it to Kugel (dish) or similar. --dab (𒁳) 17:22, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

message: Is this notable? The u/i variation between litvish and galitzianer dialects isn't limited to just the word kugl/kigl, and they're just the same word in two dialects with differing phonologies. Edetone (talk) 21:32, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

message: I propose merging Noodle kugel into Kugel. The etymology and histories are effectively the same and any noodle-specific components of the noodle kugel page would fit under the noodle kugel subheader in the varieties section. The rest of the content is about variations of ingredients or local customs which, again, falls under varieties.  Thoughts? Procyonidae (talk) 20:03, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: No, I think it is worthy of a stand-alone article, same as potato kugel. On the other hand, I propose merging Jerusalem kugel and noodle kugel--Geewhiz (talk) 08:18, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Didn't you say in 2008 (see discussion above) that you thought potato kugel should be merged with this page? I would think all three kugel variations could be merged into this one, not just noodle. - Procyonidae (talk) 22:54, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I see that I did. It was a long time ago...Today I'm not so sure. Actually there are many more than 3 variations on kugel, but certainly noodle kugel (with its subvariations) should have a stand-alone entry.--Geewhiz (talk) 08:06, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I respect your opinion, but I just respectfully disagree. I think the current situation is just fine, and I think all the main kugel variants (noodle, potato, Yerushalmi, etc) deserve their own articles, as they are each notable enough and would add undue length to this article to merge all kugel types to one article. I think it is like merging all sandwich related articles into one article, it would be too long. Kugel is a vast category of Jewish cuisine, and I think the main variants are worthy of their own articles, as they currently have.Etonmessisthebest (talk) 10:44, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
