gefilte
Passover fish dish
Gefilte is a Yiddish word meaning stuffed or filled, surviving in English almost exclusively in gefilte fish—a traditional Ashkenazi Jewish dish of poached fish dumplings or patties, originally stuffed back into the fish skin but now typically served as freestanding balls or loaves, often with horseradish.
