ARCHIVES: SCOFF: The peculiarly South African story of kitke
and our very own kitke are all offered up. Kitke is listed as the Litvishe Yiddish dialect term used within what was the territory of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Since the vast majority of South African Jews have Lithuanian ancestry it is safe to assume that they brought the recipe and its regionally specific name with them.
Words are important. The World War II genocide by Nazi Germany and its collaborators was a systematic attempt to destroy all aspects of Jewish life and culture. Food culture was among the hardest hit because most cooking knowledge is rooted in oral tradition. Recipes are most often transmitted from mother to child as edible connections across time. Using heritage recipes and food terminology demonstrates the survival of ancestral influence.
A word to the wise: the early bird catches the kitke. Most of the Kosher venues sell out long before they close at 3pm on Friday. Such is the demand that telephonic booking of bread the day before is advisable. Even with a reserved loaf, queues for collection are long. If you miss the 3pm deadline, the Spar supermarkets in Norwood and Edenvale both make kitke on Friday and keep late night hours.
