I’m cool because I just started the first thread in this category!! 😀
Your thread was moved.
People do actually look for recipes there, and are not interested in your really bad humor.
Cool meaning cold, or interesting?
Reminds me of a story they say about R’ Shach. Supposedly they once served him ice cream at a dinner and after taking a spoonful, he whispered to the fellow next to him, “it’s very cold, no?”
For Pesah, experiment with new root vegetables for the non-gebrokts, non-kitniyot crowd.
I am serving company yucca this year, for example, fried, and served with a mojo sauce of lime, garlic, EVOO, and cilantro. Other ideas are plantains, cassava root, and other tubers.
Other things I’m experimenting with are spaghetti squash with different Italian sauces, for dairy meals and a meat meal, different kugels made from squashes, blintzes made from potato starch, potato starch crepes and manicotti (again, for dairy meals), vegetable stews and tagines with dried fruits and nuts,
French fries is a cool side dish 😉
You can’t get too creative in the kitchen on Pesach, y’know. The more creative the recipe, the more flimsy the end result. (on Pesach)
If you’re not into cooking so much, and if you don’t east gebrokts, just live on potatoes and onions for 8/9 days.
I joke that if the Hayei Adam had his way with potatoes, the Ashkenazim would all starve to death on Pesah, r”l.
Nowadays, people tend to mix their desserts into the main course,
and just call it ‘kugel’ instead of cake.
They say a smart person knows a tomato is a fruit, but a wise person knows not to put it in a fruit salad.
