My local church did this play last year, and I went to see it. I need help on one thing if someone Jewish can help me. The scean in the movie where Bubby shows sam this food called Couga, and she tells him that its a couga from heaven. So I was wondering what kind of a food a couga is. In the play I saw, they use chocolate pudding cups for the couga
shareI think you mean a kugel, which is a side dish or dessert, traditionally made from egg noodles. You get a lot of hits if you google it.
shareTell me more
Are the egg noodle covered in chocolate?
Not necessarily. The variety of kugel is endless. It can be sweet as well as savoury.
shareAnother word for it might be a noodle pudding, can be a potato pudding, or matzo pudding for Passover..it is made noodles, potatos, matzoh meal, or vegetables, mixed with eggs and other ingredients and baked in a casserole dish..it is quite delicious.
shareI think that might be "kugel", which is a type of dessert, usually made with apples or other fruit.
shareIt's a kugel, and as others below have described, it can be savory or sweet.
It can also be called a noodle pudding which is probably how your local production of it came up with chocolate pudding. It is more of a casserole (noodles are baked in a casserole dish and cut into squares). I am cracking up that in this day and age, the folks who produced the show could not find a proper definition of the word 'kugel' -- it boggles the mind.
