An appetizing store, typically in reference to Jewish cuisine in New York City, particularly Ashkenazi Jewish cuisine, is a store that sells "food that generally goes with bagels", although appetizings can also be served with a variety of breads. Appetizings include smoked and pickled fish and fish spreads, picked vegetables, cream cheese spreads and other cheeses.
Most appetizing stores were opened in the later 1800s and the early 1900s. In 1930 there were 500 such stories in New York City; by 2015 there were fewer than ten.
Term
The word "appetizing" is sometimes shortened to "appy" and is used both for the stores and the foods they sell.[1][2] The term is used typically among American Jews, especially those in the New York City area in neighborhoods with traditionally large Jewish populations.[3][4] According to the New York Times, as of 2004 the term was not used outside of New York City.[3]
Foods
The stores sell food that Thrillist describes as "food that generally goes with bagels", although Milton Glaser and Jerome Snyder wrote that appetizings might be served with a variety of breads, including bialys, challah, corn rye bread, Jewish rye, onion rolls, Russian health bread, and seeded hard rolls.[5][6]
Appetizing includes both dairy and "parve" (neither dairy nor meat) food items such as lox (smoked salmon), whitefish, cream cheese spreads, pickled vegetables, along with candies, nuts, and dried fruit.[6] According to a 1968 New York Magazine article, the foods are typically served for Sunday brunch.[6] Jewish kashrut dietary laws specify that meat and dairy products cannot be eaten together or sold in the same places.[1]
Stores
The stores are different from delicatessens in that an appetizing store is a place that sells fish and dairy products but no meat, whereas a kosher delicatessen sells meats but no dairy.[1] Thrillist called them "the deli's other half".[5]
In 1930 there were 500 appetizing stores in New York City.[5] The majority were opened in the late 1800s and early 1900s.[7] By 2015 there were fewer than 10 remaining.[5] Shelsky's in Cobble Hill was the first appetizing store to open in Brooklyn in 60 years when it opened in 2011.[5]
