In the parlance of American entertainment, which was built on the foundation of Yiddish theater, schmaltz came to refer to drippy, over-the-top dramatization.
Schmaltz—rendered chicken fat—was an important part of Eastern-European Jewish cuisine.
It wasn’t always this way. Until relatively recently, fat was considered a delicacy.
