>Nyer's eat "danish" a sweet breakfast roll..

I know, teacher, I know!

There is a Jewish delicacy called a knish, which is dough stuffed with various substances and baked or fried. Around the turn of the century (well, not this past one) an Italian deli owner in New York began making rolls with sweet dough and stuffing them with a sweetened soft cheese. He didn't have a name for it, but soon he had all these Jews coming in asking for "da knish" and that's how the name came about.
