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

Gefilthy fish is something that I had a hard time stomaching as a youth. I think the fact that my family teased me with the "name" as I listed it here, might have had something to do with it.

Since I could not tolerate horse radish, I went the opposite route, and spooned a little honey over it to sweeten. Was rather tasty like that.

Ed, a small, but significant point. If the residents he would offer his goodies to don't keep Kosher there would be no problem. If they keep Kosher, whether religious or not, in good faith they would have to refuse his gifts. Keeping Kosher also means that any food they eat must come from a kitchen, store or restaurant that is obeying the rules and laws of keeping Kosher. Compound that with the fact that for the week of Passover the very observant use dishes, flatware and posts and pans that are used only for that week, yearly. If they are cultural Jews than all bets are off on food source.

Magpie, interesting switch, will have to try that. Have one of my own. Rebelled against sweetened oatmeal (sugar, raisins, cinnamon, etc). Couldn't stand the stuff. Only way I can eat oatmeal and enjoy it is by salting it, then it's delicious for my taste buds.

Happy Passover, to all the Chosen!

I, personally, will pick up Gefilte fish when the mood strikes. I'm not a Jew, but, I found that I actually like it on occasion. And some other interesting treats, dishes and deserts.

God Bless Jerusalem!

MOTHER: But are you SURE the wine OK for passover?
SON: Ma! It says right here on he label, "Kosher. May be used for Passover."
MOTHER: "Maybe" nothing. It has to be for sure.

Did a seder the other night at church, it is really nice to get out of your own skin once and a while and get to understand others and in doing so find out more about yourself.

Next year in Jerusalem.

Okay...while I was away ha ha.. y'all got to gabbing without me so.......First off, the Jewish residents at my work are fairly relaxed. Second...I'm not Jewish so I have room to play with and this is mainly for my own consumption any ol hoo. Gefilte fish in all my readings seems to be in essence fish cakes made with just about any good whitfleshed fish. So we'll see what I come up with. As the Matzoh ball soup..pretty much a no brainer. This was a good learning experience for me as said. I actually don't mind the gefilte fish as an everyday food but, like I said, I think I can do a bit better than the jarred stuff. I'll keep every one posted though.

Oh almost forgot....I don't have the money or space to keep a kosher kitchen ,that would make me batty I do think.

ok, well perhaps not then, its a good job i never professed to be proffesional professor of what to proffer at passover. Thanks for setting me straight though Richard.

Almost forgot I had taken a pic of my modest little Gentiles Passover dinner....It wasn't too bad actually. A little Matzoh ball soup, some Gefilte fish,and some Grape juice(can't drink at work).
