Gebrochts

Which mikva has eggs and potatoes?

n.

1. A receptacle for holding water or other liquid, especially a tank for catching and storing rainwater.

2. Anatomy A cisterna

“My mother is of the opinion that everyone should stop eating gebrochts so that they can share in the burden of our brothers and sisters who don’t.”

Maybe she can share in my burden for tuition.

Or ask her to do hatarat nedarim, so that she can share in our enjoyment.

“The Goq: Do you make sugary treats for your guests or do you cook with”

i don’t have guests

my husband doesnt eat gebrokts. but i do. last year when i got married i said i wont either. by the next night i was back to eating gebrokts. it was just too hard.

goq- well then maybe there should b a coffeeroom kiddush at ur house this weekend so u can figure out how u would make those treats..

We don’t brok, but we’re not up to cooking/baking either. So we didn’t dig up our recipies.

Maybe someone can find the link to last year’s recipies. I do recall someone posting a good ice cream recipe.

Goq- Im sorry.. but eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew. Ill bring the rice krispy treats..

” ‘More potatoes?!’ Everyone will be complaining

It’s not my fault, We don’t eat gebrokts!!!”

Ravis- although actual gebrokts is with water, many people keep the matzah away from anything wet,(even eggs etc) as an extra Chashash Chometz.

Cantoresq- since we don’t use kneidlach- we fry a bunch of egg crepes(dozens and dozens).

We then cut each crepe into small pieces and add some to each plate of soup- like lukshen!

You want recipes for food or for cake? I love the challenge of cooking for Pesach. I find new and tasty foods every year!

..everyone should stop eating gebrochts..

I agree, I don’t know about other people, but I personally don’t like vomit…..oh, my mistake, you probably mean geBROKTs. Carry on…

hellllllloooooo what about pesach rolls and matzah pizza???? the classics!!!!

Fresh fruits and vegetables are kosher year round and kosher for Pesach. I don’t even try to do the fake cakes and pastries and as a result I actually eat more healthily on Pesach than during the rest of the meal.

Here is one recipe, from *Indian-Jewish Cooking* by Mavis Hyman:

“Kuccha” Tomato salad

Cut tomatoes up into small pieces.

Add finely chopped scallions and cilantro (coriander — fresh is best but dried leaves work well, too).

Add salt and lemon juice.

Mix and serve.

Delicious.

hello – we dont eat matzah meal!!

All the people who say they dont eat factory made things and do everything themselves like squeezing orange juice etc. let me ask you – do you buy or make your pesach matzo and wine? Cos either you buy or you make. You cant buy matzos and wine and claim not to eat mass produced food.

Someone told me they brok but their sons in law dont so their married daughters wont come to them for pesach unless they agree not to brok. He said to me with a sigh that he cant have both… its either the maidelech or the kneidlech!

Ken zayn- we can only be Machmir the most we CAN. We cannot set up our own Matzah Bakery. We therefore, only use from the strictest bakeries, and we choose them carefully.

Same with wine.

But whatever we can make alone without turning over the world, we try to do.

cherybim: It’s a minahag mentioned by the Rama! So you may call it what you wish, but see the Rama and all he says

You can purchase time at a local matza factory and make your own.

You can actually even make your own. Discuss how with your LOR as different people have different ways of doing it best.

I am sure there is a way to make homemade wine too.

We eat gebrochts, but there are plenty of non gebrochts options.

We eat a lot of roast chicken, fish, meat and vegetables.

This dish is always a hit:

Cut up beets and onions into small cubes, sprinkle with a little bit of sugar and salt. Bake for about 15-20 minutes. Add cubed white potatoes, sweet potatoes and/or parsnip (carrots would go well too). Add garlic, salt and pepper (cumin during the year). Roast until done.

my shvigger, a’h, used to make raisin wine … and, of course, borsht.

smartcookie and SJS: There are more people making their own wine than you would think. If you are Brooklynites, go to the terminal market at grape harvest time and see what goes on. Its a little messy, and the results can be iffy, but it is more than a few meshugaim, i started in NY as a hobby, and it came in handy in EY, as I was able to make enough to get thru shemita, and the year after. In fact I overestimated, and still have gallons to go. This also helped me avoid a certain hashgocha that was getting hard to avoid.

On matza, YES YOU CAN HAVE YOUR OWN BAKERY. If you sift thru the halacha and the shu”t, it fairly jumps off the page at you that the commercialization of matzo is not a good thing, the halacha was written for the home or town co-op, and it is a huge enhancement of the mitzva to do your own. My personal interest in this has taken me to look at many operations, and one formative experiance caused me to be mekabel never again to eat a commercial hand matzo. If the mods let and you would like some how to, i can do an off site tutorial.

Derech HaMelech: And you don’t put the gebrochts (like matzah into the soup) from shmini shel pesach into each persons individual plates or bowls? if so, those keilim are the same you use all pesach.
