Grew up on the same diet. Chopped Liver, schmalz in everything, tzimmes, ruglach, corned beef, pastrami and of course Nova Lox on a bagel with cream cheese. Of course Matza Ball soup was served at every holidcay meal. Once a year I head out to the best Jewish deli in town and splurge. Love the story. Here's the link to one I wrote last year on Matza Balls. https://medium.com/crows-feet/some-of-lifes-greatest-family-memories-are-found-in-matza-balls-2014531c86a3
