When you grew up in the old “white ethnic” areas of Brooklyn, there were certain food terms you never heard of, or saw. One of them was bundt cake. Another was “pot luck” dinners. The other was any type of casserole dish. I didn’t know what any of these things were until I was in my early 20’s.
Did anybody ever hear the tape or monolgue from Jackie Mason’s first Broadway show, where he did a whole spiel on this topic (WASP culture versus NYC ethnic culture). It was hilarious.

That’s the one!
Remember this line> “Ever listen to how a Jew and an American talk about their boss”
The American: “He’s the man. He’s Mr. C. He’s a genius”.
A Jew: “The man is a total schmuck”.
benson, isn’t that the one where Jackie Mason says, “After my show, the Jews say, ‘Too Jewish'”???
