What's gross is the overuse of capitalization so prevalent in this country. Unless "Boneless Smoked Ham" is a name of a play, there is really no call for it.
on a serious note, i often wonder what exactly is evil, like pork could be used as a doorstop so in that context its not evil. on the other hand if eat something purely out of enjoyment then thats evil, so is it purely subjective?
-TRS: We may never know if they'll ever learn - since the ham your shvigs sent you is the same ham Chaviva and I blogged about the other year.
It was sold at the Balducci's on 8th Ave at 14th Street, on Sunday, 12/2/07 - when Nancykay Schapiro brought it to light! Check out the last picture and you'll see they're the same.
All traditional Ashkenazic Jewish recipes are awesome, when cooked and served in a right way (with right other ingredients). For example, if you put them in the egg salad with onions. Or with mashed potatoes.
Gribenes . . . Does anyone evem make them anymore? All of this heimish food reminds me of a childhood memory - I once opened the fruit crisper in the fridge to eat an apple - only to find a half dozen feeselach my mother had purchased for soup looking at me. Yikes!
What I personally don't like is hair on chicken skin. Which, it seems, the holier the shchita, the more likely it is to be there (but then again, we have a very poor selection of kosher meet here). In my family, we always burn it off. Unfortunately, it's not always the case with all Chabad House–served chicken.
After three years of living in the middle of nowhere, pigeons were a welcome sight signifying that I am finally in a place of civilization. Of course, after four years of living in that place of civilization, subway was a welcome sign that I was in a place of Western civilization, not that of American South.
Well, Baton Rouge, LA, doesn’t have pigeons. It makes up for it with squirrels, armadillos, ’possums, geckos, flying cockroaches and rednecks. New Orleans has all of the above plus pigeons and drunken tourists from the North.
Oregon jsut has homeless people, some of them shipped in from other states. Orange chicken is incredible. It's breaded with this tangy sweet sauce poured on top like a glaze, completely counterproductive to any nutrition one might possible derive from the chicken itself. Which of course is why it's popular.
talking about sauce...e and i were recently walking accross the manhaton bridge, when we got to the other side we were attacked by savage waves of soy sauce odor which protects the area known as Chinatown. there, we were forced to buy one of those peruvian hats with the payos on the side and the pompom on top for $6.
Anyway, both are p’tcha (although the first one is a Russian version, holodetz, or cholodetz, or холодец, which I ate throughout childhood — it’s amazingly tasty; kind of like carnivorous version of jello).
The second thing is actual cow feet, but looks like a lung. Which I had misfortune of trying once.
The first one, I've never seen anything like it. It IS like jello... When I was in 1st grade I held a cows lung while my teacher took a picture. It was for our science class.
They had blood-pudding in “The Name of the Rose”. (Which I probably shouldn’t confess having read — at least on a frum blog.) They pretty much turned a pig upside down, collected all the blood, waited for it to congeal and made some stuff out of it. In Ukraine they had blood sausage on the markets — which was exactly what it sounds like. Making a hot dog, but instead of entrails like they normally do, out of blood.
(No, I never tried one. Even when I was an atheist.)
Maybe he is from South England. Hogwartz was i the North, right?
I know a Jewish fiddler from England who goes to a local conservatory. We once had a chat about Martin Hayes. He was surprised that someone who looks like me knows any music besides Niggun Shammil.
Hogwartz is in Scotland? Says who? I wanna see the source.
Harry Potter brings back good distant memories and not so good recent memories. Actually, good recent memories with a bad aftertaste. (Where is that Chopin when one needs it?)
Yeah, I did the same in college. The first one. On the floor of the my room, using a crack from the door to the bathroom for light. Then I fell asleep, and that was how my roommate found me in the morning.
I borrowed it from my Colombian friend. He really hated Venezuella. In the hallway of our floor we had a big map of the world. He cut out Venezuella from it using a pen knife.
Well, I am still at work. Even the Japanese post-docs (the most hard-working people in the building) have left. But now going home. Good night. Gutt Yom Tov.

What a great deal!
Gross.
Your shviger sent this to you?
lol thats great
This was in a store in Texas? Where'd you get that from?
well im sure u can get it in new york too, its quite a common food
fail.
My mother sent it to him. One of her Jewish high school buddies who lives in Texas sent her the picture.
Aha.
Sara: why is it gross? Is kishke gross? Is tongue gross? Is p'tcha gross?
Dowy: it is.
Anon: what's your problem?
e: happy now?
le7: thank you for explaining that one.
It's gross because a refined Jew feels disgusted when seeing something so evil for his or her soul.
I wasn't aware those adjectives were applicable to Sarabonne.
Is 'Jew' an adjective?
Depends, but in this case, no.
A refined Jew? How many distillations?
What's gross is the overuse of capitalization so prevalent in this country. Unless "Boneless Smoked Ham" is a name of a play, there is really no call for it.
ptcha defnitly is gross
on a serious note, i often wonder what exactly is evil, like pork could be used as a doorstop so in that context its not evil. on the other hand if eat something purely out of enjoyment then thats evil, so is it purely subjective?
If pork is used as a door stop, will it be elevated?
Totally posted something similar two years ago!
http://www.kvetchingeditor.com/2007/12/tee-hee-funny.html
WOW thats awesome
During Passover I was down in West Palm Beach, and in their local Jewish paper there was an ad for Easter Brunch and I thought that was bad...
Dowy: so in a certain sense, you're saying that it's kelipas nogah?
CA: if it was elevated then it wouldn't be a very good doorstop.
Chaviva: will they ever learn?
Tuvia: was it advertised as being kosher?
axe and trs - why not?
-TRS: We may never know if they'll ever learn - since the ham your shvigs sent you is the same ham Chaviva and I blogged about the other year.
It was sold at the Balducci's on 8th Ave at 14th Street, on Sunday, 12/2/07 - when Nancykay Schapiro brought it to light! Check out the last picture and you'll see they're the same.
Cows tongue is pretty nasty too. But that's mostly because I saw it before it was cooked.
And I am most certainly refined! Um...ok, fine. Whatever.
Tongue is awesome.
(mumble... mumble... spoiled americans... mumble... mumble...)
Sara: Would you like to share that with the class?
CA: I agree with you on tongue. And how about gribbenes?
All traditional Ashkenazic Jewish recipes are awesome, when cooked and served in a right way (with right other ingredients). For example, if you put them in the egg salad with onions. Or with mashed potatoes.
Gribenes . . . Does anyone evem make them anymore? All of this heimish food reminds me of a childhood memory - I once opened the fruit crisper in the fridge to eat an apple - only to find a half dozen feeselach my mother had purchased for soup looking at me. Yikes!
You want to know what else I don't like?! Chicken legs in my soup!
But I still like kishke, intestines and all...unless I think about it.
Chicken legs (as in drums) or chicken feet (as in with toes)?
Chicken feet, as in with talons.
Ah, but then you could use them to pick your teeth after the meal! Fantastic.
What I personally don't like is hair on chicken skin. Which, it seems, the holier the shchita, the more likely it is to be there (but then again, we have a very poor selection of kosher meet here). In my family, we always burn it off. Unfortunately, it's not always the case with all Chabad House–served chicken.
I recall the TRS-Le7 clan telling me about this very problem, except the chicken was breaded with sauce. What a delightful surprise.
Breaded with sauce?
On topic:If you use ham as a doorstop it is bizayon ochel. If you use it to feed the homeless goy on your corner the ham is elevated.
On topic2:This got sold in Brooklyn and Manhattan last year and even made the news.
Off-topic:The holier the shchita the higher the overhed. THe higher the overhead the less the slaughterhouse can afford to pay pluckers.
Talons in the chicken soup.
Reminds me of pigeons!
Breaded with sauce as in Orange Chicken.
Pigeons are evil.
Orange chicken?
After three years of living in the middle of nowhere, pigeons were a welcome sight signifying that I am finally in a place of civilization. Of course, after four years of living in that place of civilization, subway was a welcome sign that I was in a place of Western civilization, not that of American South.
hmm u were living in a place without pidgeons?
ah the amrican south, my mistake
Well, Baton Rouge, LA, doesn’t have pigeons. It makes up for it with squirrels, armadillos, ’possums, geckos, flying cockroaches and rednecks. New Orleans has all of the above plus pigeons and drunken tourists from the North.
Oregon jsut has homeless people, some of them shipped in from other states.
Orange chicken is incredible. It's breaded with this tangy sweet sauce poured on top like a glaze, completely counterproductive to any nutrition one might possible derive from the chicken itself. Which of course is why it's popular.

Does "orange" refer to a color or to a fruit?
Both, sometimes they'll add little slices for a touch of authenticity.
All I know is that this stuff is amazing.
This, on the other hand, looks disgusting. And supposedly it’s the same dish, but the first one is Russian, while the second is Jewish.
I just yelled, "Oh my G-d! What is that?!"
Poor roommates.
Yelled about which one?
Anyway, both are p’tcha (although the first one is a Russian version, holodetz, or cholodetz, or холодец, which I ate throughout childhood — it’s amazingly tasty; kind of like carnivorous version of jello).
The second thing is actual cow feet, but looks like a lung. Which I had misfortune of trying once.
The first one, I've never seen anything like it. It IS like jello...
When I was in 1st grade I held a cows lung while my teacher took a picture. It was for our science class.
oh
that
is
just
evil
I thought it was kinda cool at the time.
both are evil in my opinion. those are the things i lay awake scared about
Oh, the food...nu, better chicken talons.
i cant think of any strange food in english culture, i mean unless warm beer counts
I agree it may look strange, but it tastes really good. It’s very meaty, with cold jello on the side.
Bring memories of childhood. Along with pirozhki.
It's not strange because it's jsut like yours, though you folks have blood pudding.
Just like mine what? Who has blood pudding? There was no blood anything in my family.
wats pirozki
wats blood pudding?
Oh, that last comment was directed to Dowy.
Harry Potter ate blood pudding. Maybe it was jsut a wizard thing...as opposed to English.
i made the mistake of looking that one up - pirozki looks ok though...
Pirozhki.
Egh, I feel so sorry for Americans sometimes, with their plastic food and Chinese takeout. No neshama.
Just image-google “пирожки”.
Dowy is English?
Shocking. I know.
Hope I don't get in trouble for revealing that tidbit.
They had blood-pudding in “The Name of the Rose”. (Which I probably shouldn’t confess having read — at least on a frum blog.) They pretty much turned a pig upside down, collected all the blood, waited for it to congeal and made some stuff out of it. In Ukraine they had blood sausage on the markets — which was exactly what it sounds like. Making a hot dog, but instead of entrails like they normally do, out of blood.
(No, I never tried one. Even when I was an atheist.)
Maybe he is from South England. Hogwartz was i the North, right?
I know a Jewish fiddler from England who goes to a local conservatory. We once had a chat about Martin Hayes. He was surprised that someone who looks like me knows any music besides Niggun Shammil.
My mom has some sort of jug from Africa where they mixed blood with milk. But then my brother mixed Sprite with milk.
You would have to ask sir Dowy.
I should mix chocolate soy milk (my recent favorite drink) with Dr. Pepper (my second favorite drink).
actually hogwarts is in scotland...btw in kings cross station there is actually a platform 9 and 3 quarters, for the tourists of course
Hogwartz is in Scotland? Says who? I wanna see the source.
Harry Potter brings back good distant memories and not so good recent memories. Actually, good recent memories with a bad aftertaste. (Where is that Chopin when one needs it?)
you describe it like a whiskey...well i actually looked it up on wiki...
Well, whiskey would be a good solution right now.
Hmm, interesting.
So, when they say it’s a school for kids from UK and Ireland, do they mean Northern Ireland, or the Republic too?
lol i duno, wat good memories do u have of harry potter?
i think i once stayed up a whole night to finish one of them.
talking about staying up the whole night...tata happy hanuka!
Yeah, I did the same in college. The first one. On the floor of the my room, using a crack from the door to the bathroom for light. Then I fell asleep, and that was how my roommate found me in the morning.
I borrowed it from my Colombian friend. He really hated Venezuella. In the hallway of our floor we had a big map of the world. He cut out Venezuella from it using a pen knife.
As I said, good memories...
Well, I am still at work. Even the Japanese post-docs (the most hard-working people in the building) have left. But now going home. Good night. Gutt Yom Tov.
in england they eat kidney's too.
CA: What's the code to put a ling in a comment?
A link? (a href = "www.yourlink.com")name of the link(/a), where parenthesis () are replaced with <>.
If you're lazy just prepare it in blogger's editor and then post it in the comments but . . .
< a href="LINK" >Text< /a >
Remove the spaces before the < and >
As an "expert" in this field I will supply a pompous and unhelpful answer even though a better one was already given:
