From Love and Knishes . Tzimmes is a word impossible to translate. Ask anyone, What is a tzimmesand you get the answer, You don't know what a tzimmes isThis is not very satisfactory as you can see. The closest I have come to an answer is that a tzimmes is a mishmash. Now a mishmash is a hodgepodge and a hodgepodge is...not a tzimmes, believe me...it's a big thing in anyone's life. A Gahntze Tsimmes is really somethig to boast abouta big production! For instance, from a good tzimmes, a cook is entitled to make a gahntze tzimmes. (Some people think of a tzimmes as a dessert). In my opinion is a one dish meal usually served as the fourth course in a six-course dinner. A Tzimmes can be made from almost any ingredient.
