My Own Spicy Sweet Noodle Kugel

Elmotoo's Note:

I love kugel, a Jewish noodle pudding. I used the ingredient list for RSC#18 to inspire this one. Instead of raisins, I used mango. The allspice & ginger add a nice little kick. This is very easy to assemble. My family really loved this & I hope you do, too!

This was so good! My entire family loved this kugel, and believe me, we;ve tried many kugels over the years, but this one was one of the best. I do think, though that 8 eggs was a bit too much, but that's a personal thing, because I know many kugels require many eggs.
