kishke

Jewish deli staple

Kishke is a traditional Jewish sausage made by stuffing beef intestine with a seasoned mixture of matzo meal, fat, and onions, then roasting or simmering it.

The dish appears frequently in Ashkenazi cuisine, often served alongside cholent.

Figuratively, kishke refers to the gut or innards, especially as the seat of visceral emotion: I felt it in my kishkes.

Also spelled kishka.
