Hanukkah Food?
So I think I want to make a Hanukkah Dinner next Monday (first day of Hanukkah) just for fun. But... Im at a loss. Other than it should be Kosher, and Latkes (with applesauce/sour cream) what else would be part of a Hanukkah meal?

Looks fun!
Hate to break it to you, but you won't be able to make anything actually kosher.
(You'd need separate utensils and possibly the blessing of a Rabbi depending on who you ask).
But one big kosher-like aspect is that you don't serve meat (poultry & fish included) in the same meal as dairy.
I recommend going the meat route and making beef brisket.
They did a Passover Dinner Impossible and these are the featured recipies:

ESF - Im totally excited too!
I found a Brisket recipe that says to make it a day ahead and reheat (perfect for a monday...) and Im inviting my sis and bro (who will be home from college then) over too.
Itll be a FEAST!
YUM.
Oh I'm totally doing this. I want rugelach. (sp?) I love those cookies.
You know what else is delish? Israeli salad. Super easy, too, just dice tomatos and cucumber add some olive oil and/or lemon juice and you're done! Not sure it's as formal as you might have for Hanukkah, but it's kosher!
You're slowly learning what your picky eater friend eats when she goes out with her OJ friends...
OK Im thinking: Brisket, Potato latkes and Sw Potato latkes, something green (found a yummy looking soup... or a cauliflower kugel)... dessert may just be christmas cookies. BC I have tons.
Maybe Ill make some challah too
Be careful not to serve meat if you're having any dairy; or just becareful not to have any dairy if you're serving brisket. make sure your challah recipe doesn't call for butter - and don't put butter out to eat with the challah! And fyi - fish is not considered meat - that's why you can have lox and cream cheese together.
Hanukkah is about oil (seriously) - that's why you eat fried latkes. Donuts are also traditional; maybe serve them for dessert instead of xmas cookies (or with the cookies.)
Anything you can achieve through hard work, you could also just buy.
yeah I saw all teh recipes for doughnuts but Im not sure Im up for making them... and with so many other things (and so many cookies in the house...) yeah!
Anything you can achieve through hard work, you could also just buy.
Oh, good to know! That makes sense. I've just never seen fish at any milchig meals.
Running in ...
Everything goes with latkes.
You can go meat and serve hot dogs and subs -- just no sour cream
Or go dairy and serve pizza.
Really -- anything goes.

Haha, just make sure they're kosher hot dogs.
And to check if something pre-packaged is kosher, there will be a little K or U in a circle. If there's dairy in it, there will be a 'D' next to the K or U.
Absolutely!
Also, some people -- myself included -- sprinkle sugar on the latkes -- not powdered, but grain (like what you would put in coffee). It is yummy.
