American Kosher Products Passover Beef Knishes
At delis and markets in this area, the knish labeled as the “Boston” variety is rectangular with rounded edges, filled with beef or potato, and covered on all sides with a thick golden dough. “New York” varieties are often larger and open on the ends; the dough is a bit flakier, and may have a reddish hue. Understandably, I’m partial to the hometown pastry, so it was with great excitment that I noticed in our local Super Stop & Shop that American Kosher Products (of West Bridgewater, formerly of Mattapan) has produced kosher-for-Passover glatt beef knishes (certified by the Orthodox Union).
The flavor is right on, though the texture is quite a bit gummier due to the use of seasonal ingredients like cake meal, matzo meal, potato starch, and potato flakes. Plus, the dough is a little thinner than usual and thus gets dried out more easily; notice the cracks developing in the photos. Despite the Passover backflips, this is a quality product which should prove a tasty and convenient snack or hors d’oeuvre during the holiday.
i lived in Boston for 40 years and always loved your meat knishes. DO YOU SHIP and if NO, Who does ship so that I can enjoy them again? I am tired of carrying them on a plane.
Where in the Hartford area can I purchase these knishes, or could they be shipped to my home? Thank you.

Wow, Jabbett, maybe you should get into the distribution business- looks like you already have customers, at least for American Kosher Products Passover Beef Knishes. For some reason, your #3 post on this thread is just being completely overlooked.
Where may I find American Kosher beef knishes and kishke in the Randolph, MA area; have tried Shaw’s and Sudbury to no avail??
I just tried calling the aforementioned phone number for SWB New England, who distributes the Knishes. Would not go theough. Googled some omore and came up wiht another phone number: 508-895-9379. Got a message: “Not in service at this time.”
MArcia, if you are in Randolph, call or go to the Butcherie II in Cobbs Corner. they carry a nice assortment of beef and turkey knishes and offer Kosher for Pesach as well. Good eatng to all! BTW, I found frozen AMerican Kosher Beef Knishes, dinner size and cocktail size at the Super Stop & Shop in Westborough. Ask your favorite supermarker mgr. to order them if they do not carry them.
It appears that SWB New England (American Kosher) is out of business since at least October 2007. What Joan failed to mention was the reason we were trying to contact them. It was a product complaint. I hope that we did not, but I fear we just ate 2 year old frozen kinshes purchased at the Stop & Shop in Westborough.
Here is where I found the information; buried in the minutes of the October 25th, 2007 meeting of the West Bridgewater Board of Health.
