I think this is one of TRS's most brilliant posts in a long time! I love it.

Just like a guy said...

Qtap: good question.

Sebastion: you tell me.

Just like a guy said...

Mottel: glad to hear that.

The Roman Jewish community in Italy is the oldest in the world outside Israel. Until 1870 the Roman Jews were confined to the ghetto, where they held on firmly to their traditions.

Because they were poor people, their traditional simple style of cooking endured. It could be that the traditional plain cooking of the pagans and Christians of ancient Rome is an imitation of their Jewish neighbors.
I am pleased to offer today, exclusively in Manhattan, the novelty of a traditional, authentic and delicate Kosher Cuisine of Rome to all those who are in search of tastes that are out of the ordinary.

Hmm, I'll have to try that out. Looks good.

bonne said...

In the next world we'll all be on Atkins and won't eat pizza.

Just like a guy said...

Hey Sara, not all of us are going to hell.

bonne said...

I was thinking of sacrifices so boohoo on you sir.

Just like a guy said...

They offered Matzos with all those sacrifices. Can anybody say "mizza"?

Altie said...

i guess you shall have to wait to find all this out. unless of course you are planning a trip to heaven any time soon. then be sure to tell us all about it. and bring us back a souvenire.

le7 said...

Not us a souvenir, le7 a souvenir.

This looks like sample output of a question-generating algorithm.

Jesse said...

cant you eat sausage on ur pizza as long as its glatt, and the cheese is cholov israel?

le7 said...

Jesse - that's the only way to be (dang I want so bad to use Jewish words) violating the commandment of not eating meat and dairy together!

everyone's favorite heretic said...

good point, le7. That's why I technically never had milk and meat together. And don't be scared of Jewish words. We can't hear your accent over the internet.

Anonymous said...

in partially related news, it's really cute how sarabonne says "refined," which is clearly a translation of "eidel."

Point is, jewish words don't bite. They're your friends!

le7 said...

E. (FH) - Yeah you'd really have to work hard to have meat and milk together... why don't you do that next? Actually cook a kid in it's mother's milk!

Aren't you sweet.

everyone's favorite heretic said...

s'iz shever tzu zain a goy. (See what you can do with Jewish words?)

le7 said...

I dunno what you said man.

e said...

"It's hard to be a Goy." It's a parody of the usual, "S'iz shver tzu zain a yid." ("It's hard to be a Jew.")

le7 said...

Ahhh well then.

e said...

well then what?

le7 said...

Or do you mean it's hard to become a goy? (I mean I don't know much about this subject but...)

everyone's favorite heretic said...

I meant it's hard to be a goy. "It's hard to become a goy" would be 'S'iz shver to vern a goy

le7 said...

I know, I was just trying to change stream. Thanks for ruining that.

e said...

oh. whatever.

Mottel said...

It's easy to be a goy - just steal an apple and you get the death penalty.
But to be a Jew . . . Now that's some hard capital punishment to pull off!

e said...

wtf are you saying? nobody's trying to get executed over here.

Modeh B'Miktsas said...

E: bull. S'iz grin tzu zahn ah goy. S'iz shver tzu zahn ah mumar.

TRS: BRILLIANT

Yitzchak said...

But you left out the obvious question3: What is it to be a dead Italian?

Just like a guy said...

Modeh: but what would the parallel be?

Dowy said...

Is it to be italian is a dead what?

Sebastion said...

le7 said...

What is it to be live pizza in a dead Italian's stomach in this world?

Just like a guy said...

I hope you all realize that these aren't parallels, right?

le7 said...

I know, I was just joining the fun.

Just like a guy said...

Ahh. Maybe I'll make a "best-of" of the best questions...

Anonymous said...

Hey, whatever happened to "Dear TRS"?
sarabonne

Just like a guy said...

Like you, I can only write when the spirit is upon me.

So maybe tomorrow night?

bonne said...

Sounds like a plan.

Jack Steiner said...

Hmmm, pizza sounds good right about now.

Just like a guy said...

Sara: sorry, you got a sappy poem instead...

Jack: Doesn't it?
