All kinds smoked fishes!

But also meat - pastrami, salami, ... No cheese with the meat, though.

I find it interesting that they use the word "fressen" in the first stanza.  I don't know the implication in Yiddish, but in modern German it's used solely to refer to the way animals eat.  The earlier meaning was more "devour" -- I've seen it used in 15th and early 16th century German to describe someone eating in an uncouth manner.

Fressen means overeating in Yiddish.

There are places that sell overstuffed sandwiches "Fresser's Dream"

That's the older German meaning as well -- does sometimes show up in modern German as slang, but almost always is an insult.

Drinking too much is "saufen," as in "Sau," that is, a sow.

Sorry to come late to the party, but I thought you'd seen the news of my resignation.  It was time to go---and, whether I get some other teaching, or at least lecturing, gig, or branch out into some other things I'd like to do, gam zu l'tovah; this too is for good.
