Melting (Soup) Pot

Standing on line to pay my lunch tab last week at the 2nd Ave Deli (relocated a few years ago to First Ave of course),  I overheard the following conversation at the take-out counter.

Young Asian woman: What soup do you have today?

Old deli guy:  Split pea,  lentil,   mushroom & barley,  chicken noodle,  and kreplach.

Young Asian woman:  Kreplach?

Old deli guy:  Jewish dumpling.

Young Asian woman:  Ah good,  I’ll take it.

Did I tell you I ❤ New York?
