Gjetost (yay-toast) Norwegian Goat Cheese

 Gjetost (yay-toast) Norwegian Goat Cheese

I first ate this in Norway and don’t let looks deceive you. Your internal dialogue (the annoying side) will be screaming at you, “cheese should not be brown” therefore “you should not eat it.”

Huh? That’s what I thought when I saw these on the menu. But it said “pastry puff” in the description which automatically means we must get them.

Rugalach (ruhg-uh-luh)

Ruga what? Put simply it's a Jewish pastry that means "little twists" in Yiddish. Put another way it's the love child of a croissant and a strudel...and it's really freaking good.

Sometimes it takes a child to reconnect you with that joyous sensation of discovering something new for the first time.  After my son was born, determined not to give up my love of trying new restaurants and food, I decided to just bring him along for the ride. Here are my family's delicious adventures in Brooklyn and beyond, seen through the eyes of Jenson.

Thank you!

Welcome to First Bites where we attempt to answer all of your questions about a particular restaurant before deciding to hit the scene with your offspring.  Eating out with kids can be fun (I hear you snickering) but it does take a little planning. Now that I have a child, I look for a different type of restaurant when I eat out  and it pretty much boils down to how many laser-beam stares of death my family will receive when we open the door. If it is high, we usually steer clear. Let us help you avoid those stares of death. Thanks for stopping by!
