Camera file, the eighth of a long session in Kloyzenburg (Cluj) on 17 May 2013; the index gives no name. A man answers Kerler's questions about Yiddish words for fried dough and potatoes and about regional differences. He then talks about Purim plays and Purim visiting groups, the Yiddish theater in Bucharest, and the shops closed for the High Holidays.
Elicitation of food words. The man says kremzlekh were fried in goose fat, because pork fat was not used in a Jewish home, and that other fried things were also made in it. Kerler asks the word for potatoes. The man says his area, with Dezh, Bistritz, Kluzh and Turda named, says krumpirn, and says he met another word in Bucharest. He rejects forms Kerler offers (kartofl, bulves, erdapl), mentions krumpli, and gives the Hungarian name for the potato (?).
Talk about Purim plays. The man mentions borsht with onions as Hasidic food, and a Purim play with a dentist and Hasidim who do not need teeth. Groups of Jews and non-Jews went round the houses. He says he took part himself at about seven or eight years old (?). Kerler asks how the play went, and about a chimney-sweep play with a girl and a chimney sweep. The man cannot recall details because of his age.
Longer plays belonged to the Yiddish theater in Bucharest, at Purim or Hanukkah. Hungarian is spoken briefly. The man then says that on the High Holidays shops were closed because the merchants were Jews, and everyone went to shul whether observant or not. Kerler checks the word for shop; the man gives gevelb (?), not the Bessarabian kleytn.
