This esoteric experience of burning karma is, in fact, related to a little known Jewish technique of burning your kishka's out. For those who don't know, a kishka, in one definition, simply means, "intestine." A more modern interpretion relates to heartburn.
Himey Yonkel says that the first known experience of having your kishka burned out was the first day Katz's Deli, on Delancey Street in Manhattan, opened. The first customer ordered a pastrami sandwich, sat down, took a bite, swallowed, his face beamed and he cried out, "This is heavenly!" However, about an hour later, he was walking down Broadway, near 39th Street, in the garment district, when he cried out, "My kishka's are killing me" then he belched and the people three deep away from him could be heard saying, "It smells like pastrami around here." Since then many millions of native New Yorkers as well as tourists regularly participate in this ancient tribal rite of having their kishka's burned out.
