In which I invent a yiddish-cajun culinary term

Cooking a triple batch of latkes last night, and getting a little giddy:

"Aren't some of those a little burnt?"

Nah.

"That one, there?"

No, no, it's not burnt. It's just a little, uh, geschwarzlik. Some people prefer them that way.

"Geschwartzlik?"

Yeah, you know... blackened.


Miz Becky will undoubtedly prefer if I admit that this was not in fact a conversation with her... it was entirely within my own skull.

Geschwartzlik or not, they sure were yummy!
