Thread: Gefilte Fish ????!!!! Passover for a confused Christian .

Flash back to the Spring 1970 Army Basic Training in Louisiana!. You're talking Deep Old South. About 1/2 the recruits were reservists from the New York City area and Jewish; the other half thought shit was spelled with a "e" on the end of it!. It was an interesting time.

It was terrible, but it brings back strong memories every time I think about it. Good Pesach.

Speaking of kosher kitchens, i lived in an area of london with a large jewish community, and we got a newsletter from time to time, in one of them it told you how to prepare eggs, if i recall you had to mash it with a fiork in a certain direction, for a certain number of circuits iof the bowl, but we did also have accewss to fantastic salt beef bagels yum yum

What, no latkes, lol? Enjoy your time with our Jewish bredren, they are in my prayers.

In Christ

No like horse radish, I eat my fish straight up.

Well Passover has done just that and it went very well. Had a toast with a young Jewish couple in the building and The Boyfriend even said a blessing/prayer before we toasted. I learned two wonderful things...1) Love Matzoh ball soup and being a good cook ,am now on a mission to make my own from scratch version as opposed to the box stuff. 2) Gefilte fish liked'em but, figured since I was a good cook, I could make better and so the challenge begins. Life is interesting.

Nightblade, ya da man! Good luck on the gefilte fish making. It can be a tedious process. I have vivid memories of my mother chopping up by hand (no grinder) the blend of fish she used for her gefilte fish. She always made a huge pot of them since they disappeared rapidly.

I'm always surprised by what I learn on this forum.

Seing as there are jewish residents at your work, you are going to HAVE to have a lot of practice runs before next year, you wouldnt want to offer them not quite right passover goodies now would you.

Apparantly is a major shortage of the stuff as most comes from whitefish from the great lakes which still has 4 ft of ice.
