Tue Jul 25 03:25:45 -0700 2006 21485 takuhead 1 1765347 You might try at The Polish Deli just off El Camino Real in Palo Alto. If he doesn't carry it, he could probably order it. I THINK I've seen it at Seakor deli in Campbell, but not sure. Tue Jul 25 05:52:52 -0700 2006 1765166 10264 rworange 2 1765546 Based on the terminology (stuffed derma), I think this person is looking for Jewish-style. I know from having lived in a Ukrainian-Polish neighborhood that there are a number of kinds of kishkes you can find in a Polish place, including some made with rice that are very different than the kind I grew up eating at Bar Mitzvahs. http://petercherches.blogspot.com Tue Jul 25 13:01:01 -0700 2006 1765347 10736 Peter Cherches 2 1766453 thanks. I already checked the polish place in palo alto and they can order the polish raw kind that is very very different from the jewish deli style. I tried it and was completely turned off as it had cow blood in it. Tue Jul 25 18:47:19 -0700 2006 1765347 21485 takuhead 3 1767387 Polish blood sausages called either "kiszka" or "kaszanka" contain either barley or rice, various sesonings (onions, garlic, spices, etc.) and always pork blood (never had one produced with beef blood) so they are definitively not kosher. The Jewish version you are looking for does sound interesting and from the recepies I was able to find on the internet more along the lines of haggis...let us know how the search goes...

Tue Jul 25 18:50:56 -0700 2006 1765713 21485 takuhead 3 1766604 Thanks for the update on the new address for Brothers Deli.....Millbrae is closer to me....but I can't imagine being in Millbrae without eating some form of Chinese...then again Brothers was bought from its' original Jewish owner by a Chinese family (there's that Chinese-Jewish connection again!) and they certainly improved the kreplach/wonton...so who knows..! Enjoy the kishka..

I think this is the second set of Chinese owners. The first couple were faithful to the original menu and recipes but I heard the quality suffered after the second sale. I passed the new location on Broadway about 3 weeks ago and was going to post about it. It looked about half full, and had a flyer on the door with their menu. Looks like the same menu, more or less, of the Burlingame location. It has a new name--Brother's Manhattan Deli. I may try it when I'm in the neighborhood again, which I am about every 5-6 weeks. Tue Jul 25 21:28:09 -0700 2006 1766604 14447 rednails 1 1766722 Try SAUL'S in Berkeley or the Kosher Meat Market in Oakland on Lakeshore. Tue Jul 25 20:11:07 -0700 2006 1765166 20506 bkaufman 2 1766909 The OP asked for a place on the peninsula...but as long as we're on the subject of Saul's...have you tried the kishka...how does it stand up? Tue Jul 25 21:19:45 -0700 2006 1766722 10485 ChowFun_derek 1 2196375 I was introduced to Brothers about 1980..At that time it was owned by 2 ex-Korean fighter Pilots...The place was nice and the food had a "Jewish" Tam....They had great Kasha Varnishkes,,,,,Years later the place seemed to go downhill.,..My daughter and her family went to Milbrae recently and said it wasn't worth the trip from Fremont Wed Jan 17 02:46:19 -0800 2007 1765166 67317 velvel 2 2196441 The former owner was a Taiwanese pilot. It's been sold a couple times since then. Wed Jan 17 03:10:38 -0800 2007 2196375 10039 Melanie Wong 1 2281548 It's on the menu at Moishe's Pippic. http://sanfrancisco.menupages.com/restaurantdetails.asp?restaurantid=8587 Sun Feb 11 09:22:52 -0800 2007 1765166 11369 Robert Lauriston 2 2282872 this place sounds great - have you tried it? I am still trying to find some closer to home (palo alto) Sun Feb 11 17:56:41 -0800 2007 2281548 21485 takuhead
