Yerushalmi kugel is said to have been created by the Jewish community of Jerusalem in the 1700s. Yerushalmi kugel is unique in that it is made of cooked thin noodles, heavily seasoned with pepper, and uses a caramel sauce as a binder. Do not confuse this with the ubiquitous sweet, dairy noodle kugel! Read the Yerushalmi kugel recipe through first before beginning to prepare it, for best results. Be extremely careful when melting the sugar and adding the water; the sugar gets scaldingly hot.

Everyone has their own opinion but bone-in flanken is probably the most popular.
