Reply To: Applesauce on latkes is better than sour cream: Prove me wrong.

Winnie,
My parents told us that they never heard of, or used the word latkes till they arrived here, at least that’s my recollection.. My mom, also of Czech-Hung. used chremzlach for all types, and dad called the cooked ones kayzlach, which mom never heard of.
I guess it depended from which area they lived in.
