Joe Offer	Origins: Bread and Gravy (71* d)	DTADD: Bulbes (Yiddish)	14 Oct 03
There's a well-known Yiddish song that follows the same pattern: BULBES (POTATOES) Zuntik - bulbes Montik - bulbes Dinstik un mitvokh - bulbes Donershtik un fraytik - bulbes Shabes in a novene - a bulbe-kugele Zuntik - vayter bulbes! Broyt mit bulbes Fleysh mit bulbes Varemes un vetshere - bulbes Ober un vider - bulbes Eyn mol in a novene - a bulbe-kugele Zuntik - vayter bulbes! Sunday-potatoes, Monday-potatoes, Tuesday and Wednesday-potatoes, Thursday and Friday-potatoes. But on Saturday for a change-a potato pudding! Sunday-potatoes again. Bread with potatoes, meat with potatoes, morning and evening-potatoes, over and again-potatoes. One time for something new, a potato pudding. Sunday-potatoes again.
