An '''appetizing store,''' typically in reference to [[Jewish cuisine]], is best understood as a store that sells "the [[food]]s one eats with [[bagel]]s."
"Appetizing" is used as a [[noun]] by itself to refer to these type of foods. Appetizing includes both [[dairy]] and "pareve" (neither dairy nor meat) food items such as [[lox]] (smoked [[salmon]]), [[whitefish]], and [[cream cheese]] spreads. These foods are typically eaten for [[breakfast]] or [[lunch]] and, based on Jewish [[kashrut]] [[dietary laws]], include no [[meat]] products (kosher fish products are not considered meat). The simplest distinction is that an appetizing store is a place that sells fish and dairy products, whereas a [[delicatessen]] sell meats (but not dairy products, if it's a kosher deli).
The term is used typically among [[American Jew]]s, especially those in the [[New York City]] area, where one can find "appetizing shops" selling cooked fishes and dairy products in some neighborhoods with large Jewish populations.<ref>{{cite journal|author=Michael Pollak|title=F.Y.I.|journal=New York Times|date=27 June, 2004|url=http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9D03E5DD1638F934A15755C0A9629C8B63}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|author=Joseph Berger|journal=New York Times|title="No more Babka?
