If you Google up Latkes you get the history of the dish:
The Jews claim it is Ashkenazy Jewish traditional but if you look
at the different languages of the Wiki you get Latkes in all European
languages.
The Czernowitzer Jews will swear to it that it is a Bukovinean
Czernowitzer Jewish dish.
Evidently it is not.
Czernovitzer did not invent Latkes - disappointing as it is.
But in one field of the Latke history Czernowitzer did excel:
They were the greatest Latke - eaters of them all.
A Czernowitzer could consume immense quantities .
Until the last available Latke.( with sour Schmetten).
From the latest mails I see that they still are.
