HelzelTemplate:Efn (from Template:Langx) or gefilte helzel is an Ashkenazi Jewish dish. It is a sort of sausage made from poultry neck skin stuffed with flour, semolina, bread crumbs or matzo meal (when cooked on Passover), schmaltz, and fried onions and sewn up with a thread.
Chicken or goose necks are commonly used but duck or turkey necks can be substituted. The stuffing can also include internal meats, such as chopped heart, gizzard, liver. Sometimes the stuffing is flavored with garlic and black pepper. Helzel may be cooked in chicken soup or used as an ingredient in cholent. Because of its sausage shape and the flour-based stuffing, helzel is sometimes called "false kishke".[1][2][3]
The name derives from Yiddish Script error: No such module "lang". (Script error: No such module "Lang". 'neck') which in turn stems from German Script error: No such module "Lang"..[1][4]
Until well into the 20th century, the dish was a comfort food of Ashkenazim typically served on Shabbat and Jewish Holidays.[1][3] In the 20th and into the 21st centuries, its popularity has declined.[1]
