Gribenes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gribenes (rough pronunciation "GRIB-bin-iss," literally "scraps" in Yiddish), a byproduct of the preparation of schmaltz, are crisp chicken skin and onion cracklings, somewhat similar to pork rinds.
A favored food among Ashkenazi Jews, gribenes is frequently mentioned in Jewish stories and parables. Many Jews believe "that there is no flavor comparable with the tawny and well-watched scraps."[citation needed]
This food is often associated with the Jewish holidays Hannukah and Shabbat.[citation needed] Gribenes is also associated with Passover, as large amounts of schmaltz with its resulting gribenes were traditionally used in Passover recipes.
Gribenes can be eaten as a snack, typically on rye or pumpernickel bread with salt, or used in recipes such as chopped liver.
