  • Yes, I did, like everybody else. There must be a better hook! (just commenting, not reviewing)Johnbod (talk) 02:23, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
  • I also knew that and agree with Johnbod that there are better hooks out there. These might feauture the less visible Jewish cuisines in America, such as Sephardic, Arabic, Ethiopian and other culinary influences from the Diaspora. Morganfitzp (talk) 20:30, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
  • New review needed. See alt below. North America1000 02:32, 26 August 2017 (UTC)

  • Hello. Just thought I'd chime in. I think ALT2 or something similar would be good. As Morganfitzp said, it's punchy, and slightly mysterious. Mudwater (Talk) 14:01, 26 August 2017 (UTC)
  • ALT2 is pretty good. Maybe needs a bit more context, or maybe not. Nb. Struck the first "boring" hook atop. North America1000 14:17, 26 August 2017 (UTC)
  • Sounds like folks are good with ALT2. I hereby recommend this for DYK. Morganfitzp (talk) 17:19, 26 August 2017 (UTC)
