Hanukkah cuisine varies considerably among the Jews around the world, including Jews in Israel and in the widespread Jewish Diaspora, and often reflects local cuisines. For Ashkenazi Jews, of European origin, the typical food items associated with the holiday include latkes (potato pancakes) served with applesauce and sour cream, sufganiyot (jelly-filled doughnuts that are immensely popular in Israel), traditional challah bread, and gold-wrapped chocolate coins called Hanukkah gelt.
