“However I wouldn’t call eating food just for the taste of it ehrliche behaviour. Can we agree on that?”
I dont know what that means.
See Non-political’s excellent examples
Additionally
When Hashem promised E”Y, it is reffered to as “Zavas chalav u’dvash” Obviously this can have a metaphorical meaning too. ein mikra Yotze midei peshuto. I doubt this was geared only towards the non-erliche yidden. Sure there is a level to not be excited by food. As is said regarding Moshe Rabbeinu who obviosuly didint long for E”Y because the food. HE longed for the mitzvos he can do there. Obviosuly some Coffee room posters are on that level, and obviously there is such an idea. but to say enjoying food and even eating not solely to serve Hashem is automatically not-Ehrlich is silly.
In this weeks PArsha we read of the Mahn, chazal tell us the Mahn tasted like anything. Was this too just geared towards non-erliche yidden?
My favorite comment is this one
“if you go out to all these restaurant a lot (not just once a week) then you should not fool/corrupt yourself into thinking you are just going to eat to have strength but know the truth yourself that you are going to enjoy that specific restaurants pleasure food”
As if going once a week to a restaurant (!!!) THAT is “so that he/she can have strength to serve Hashem,” only more than that is a problem
By that benchmark. I am a big baal madreiga and very erlich indeed
