My mom made them. A delightful memory but one of many that make me think that East Europeans ( Jews included) shortened their lives with this stuff.

I remember the first time I ate gribenes. My mother tried to keep us healthy, but on an unusual one-time visit to my Dad's stepmother, this lovely old lady, characterized by my mother as "poor", gave me the treat. My mother frowned and I've never forgotten how delicious I found it.

Thanks. Warren’s food was so good, we had to put it in the trunk. If we had it in the car the aromas would just make us stop and eat it.

I hear that Sammy’s has reopened. They served gribenes on the table automatically, if I remember right.
