The Jewish culture has a long ancient history that dates thousands of years ago. Throughout time, the Jewish people have been scattered all around the world, absorbing various cultures of Eastern and Western societies. However, the core of the Jewish culture has been preserved and managed to survive through turbulent times.

Over the years, traditional Bat mitzvah caterings or the Jewish food have found their way into modern American eating habits. Perhaps you've run to a deli or a grocery and ordered a quick lunch of corned beef on rye with kosher dill on the side, or maybe you stopped for a quick bite of a bagel rushing to work in the morning, or maybe a sweet blintz is more to your liking. Even a run through most store bakeries show you loads of challah bread.

Perhaps the typical traditional Bat mitzvah catering is a unique one. The traditional aspect of the bagel is found in dubious historical fact. The bagel is said to have originated in Vienna.The shape of the bagel is supposed to mimic the stirrup called a beugalof ...
... King Jan's saddle. The facts are, there was a Polish King Jan III, he did lead a cavalry charge to defend Vienna from invading Turks, and there were Jewish bakers in Vienna at the time. However, there is reference to a food named "beygls" as early as 1610, found in paperwork from Krakow, Poland. In addition, "bugel" was a Yiddish word which was used to describe a round loaf of bread. That aside, the bagel has been eaten by most eastern European Jews since the 17th century. It came to America with the Ashkenazi in the late 19th century, and is considered by that community to be traditional Bat mitzvah catering.

The most stereotypical Bat mitzvah catering is that popularized by the Ashkenazi ethnic sect, coming out of Europe and especially Germany and Eastern Europe. Jewish eating habits from there are influenced by constant poverty that struck the Pale and forced the Jews to eat cheaply. The dishes that became a mark of the poor man back then are now cultural phenomena, mostly because Ashkenazi Jews are the most heavily Westernized of Jews, and the most in contact with American culture.

Bat mitzvah catering is filled with traditional Jewish recipes for great casseroles, especially noodle casseroles. Noodle casseroles are easy to prepare, as they call a dump and cook recipe. All you do is dump the ingredients into a casserole and pop it in the oven to cook. A basic noodle casserole, that is intended to be served as a main dish, will contain noodles, vegetables, a dairy base and some form of meat. For example, if you want to make a tuna noodle casserole you will need noodles, a can of tuna, cheese, milk, a bag of mixed vegetables and a basic rue made from butter and flour.
