The word 'kishke' originates from Yiddish 'kishke', which refers to a type of stuffed intestine or sausage. The term is derived from the German 'Kümmel' (meaning caraway), as caraway seeds are often used in the stuffing of kishke. Thus, 'kishke' refers to a dish made from a stuffed intestine, typically seasoned with spices.
