The Year of the Pickle, and Other Jewish Food Astrology
We've already started celebrating the incoming Year of the Ox, but what would astrological signs be like if they were assigned Jewish deli foods instead? Luckily Jewzo, a company devoted to this made-up Jewish Zodiac, came along and answered our prayers.
Year of the Pickle includes 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, and 2009.
"You’re the perfect sidekick: friends love your salty wit and snappy banter but you never overshadow them. That shows genuine seasoning from when you were a cucumber. Marry a Pastrami later in life."
No offense ox, but Year of the Lox also sounds like a party. [via Save The Deli]

I'm a Black & White. Fine, but I'm a MOT and I didn't know it was a Jewish food. Maybe it's a Brooklyn thing?

I'm a lox and my husband's a knish. The knish is supposed to avoid the lox, who is "out of your league".... hee hee. He's Filipino so it makes the whole Jewish thing even funnier.

I'm a pickle and Porgy's a bagel...maybe that's why we're starting to annoy each other.

I am an egg cream, which is absolutely true. I have no end of problems finding a vanilla egg cream anywhere other than NYC and surroundings. The site suggests marrying a blintz and, in fact, I did!

What a scream. I'm a pastrami wedded to a pickle - just like they suggest.

Guss Pickles (the real one, on the Lower East Side, not those shlemiels who own the name and sell pickles in jars) FTW!
Me, I'm a bagel. I wonder if my wife is Lox.
