Shabbos shopping for me is a relatively easy chore because of the ‘regular, standard’ food and drinks we have on our weekly shabbos table. Perhaps for you as well. The one aisle, however, that I have trouble with picking out my choicest of choice, no doubt is the dip section of my local supermarket. It is in that area of the store where I stand there, glazed-eyed, and befuddled. Sometimes I’m in the comforting confused company of other lost husbands, overwhelmed by the myriads of different flavored dips. Remember when shabbos dips were so simple: Chrain, mayonnaise, or chrayonnaise?
So, I turn to you, well-meaning brother and sister members of the coffee room, for your connoisseur expertise and help. What are your favorite flavored dips (and please include the specific company name as well) that you think I should buy this week?Salt. Any brand.
Fish juice, fish juice and fish juice. (Or, as some call it, fish sauce.)

Pickle dip
My favorite is homemade onion dip, which is really simple to make. But if you insist on buying, I love babaganoush and matboucha
Dip da dip da dip da dip. Very popular in the 1950’s, it was every everywhere, but not any more. It went especially well with bang shanga lang and bomp ba bomp ba bomp.
chumous, techina, matbucha. my family likes olive dip and tomato dip.
“Is it really good?”
I tastes like pickles 😊
Dear BaalHabooze,
Not really. It just looks good in a glass shaker.
It’s very simple. All those dozens of different foods are just mayonnaise with different flavorings. So it’s just a matter of deciding how you want your mayo flavored. Dill, mushroom, olive,etc…. Basically all the same thing.
Shabbos dips are the biggest scam. Charging $4-$5 for a little tub of flavored mayo which cost 35 cents to produce is ridiculous.Schwartz Babaganoush is delicious and not at all smokey. We love it especially my kids.
Schwartz Red Pepper Dip, Dill Dip and Broccoli dip (which isn’t frequently available)
Golden Taste crunchy pickle dip and tomato dip.Learn to make your own dips. They will be much more tasty than the store bought products. Take the extra money and give it to a yasom instead of supporting a rich man’s summer adventure
Chicken dip is pretty solid
Dippity Doo
We like olive dip, pickle dip, and fried onion dip or shallot dip. Matbucha, hummus, and chrayonnaise, too. That, with gefile fish and sometimes also teriyaki salmon, is the fish course
I have often when this “dip thing” began. Coming of age in the 60’s the only dip was fish in “chrain” Now dips are a business. I believe it started about 30 years ago when girls returned after spending their gap year in Israel where dips were introduced by Israeli families on shabbos
Schug, harissa and olive oil with zaatar
my favorite is schug from golden taste, hot enough hummus, extremely spicy tomato dip, jalapeno dip, these are all my sisters favorite too, my husband loves olive dip and home made tomato dip, my girls love all the spicy dips like me and some of them will not mind olive dip or my home made tomato dip like my husband.
who can share here some good recipes of home made dips, i am looking for some good recipes pleaseI like dill dip.
For those who need to be careful about cholesterol, a good quality virgin olive oil blended with your favorite roasted vegetable and fresh herb mixes (our favorite is roasted heirloom tomatoes, leeks and eggplant with some zatar, shug and lemon juice). Roasting the veggies in an oven or grill concentrates the flavors and highlights the natural sugars. Skip the mayo since the whipped olive oil provides much of the same texture. B’taavon
