Food Joke

The helpful waiter Rachel had not seen her Israeli relatives for years, so she was very excited when her Aunt Leah and Uncle Yitzhak came to visit her in London. To celebrate their visit, Rachel took them to an old-fashioned Kosher restaurant in Hendon. "I`ll have the kreplach," Rachel told the waiter. "The kreplach is from last night," explained the waiter. "Better you should order something made fresh today. How about stuffed peppers?" "OK, let it be stuffed peppers." The waiter turns to Aunt Leah. "And you?" "Bring please the pot roast." "Look, lady, the pot roast is strictly for goyim. If you want something special, try the flanken." "All right then, so bring the flanken." Uncle Yitzhak studied the menu carefully then said to the waiter, "I can`t make up my mind. What do you suggest?" "Suggest!" cried the waiter. "On a busy night like this who has time for suggestions?"
