Gefilte Fish

Where are we? Right on the gefiltered fishing boat.

loaf yumm jar ok jar balls nuh uh.

my favorite sunday lunch back in the day was mashed gf with chrain on matzo, messy but so good.

555 – that would be a good point if gefilte fish was a food.

When you can catch a Gefilte fish, Ill call it an animal, Until then its disgusting

555 – yes. but please, you cannot possibly compare hot dogs to – gulp – gefilte fish

Syag: C”V Of course I’m not comparing. I would never touch any dog food / made from dogs/for dogs. Just the name is repulsive. Do you actually know the ingredients of hot dogs or how they make them? At the same token, do you know the ingredients of gefilte fish? Would you also say -GULP- on sushi? What about meatloaf do you eat that?

DY: That thread doesn’t say much. What am I missing?

I dont care if you like or dislike what I like. You are not me, I happen to like Sushi and find gefile fish vile. You can like whatever you want. If you hate Sushi, good, there is more for me.

We are differnet people and like differnet things. You can find vile anything I like and I wouldnt care.

People are told that certain foods have some sort of “Kedush” well they dont, they are generally just foods you are used to or like. If you are used to and like Gefitile Fish, its a nice food to eat. if you cant stand it , then its vile and disgusting and nothing holy about it

DY: That thread doesn’t say much. What am I missing?

Chrein?

I think you should check out your yichus.

Frankly mayo on gf is just plain wrong do it with chrain or swallow it plain.

To clarify/repeat. All what i said was, the Torah writes ??? ????? ????? Three extra words instead of one word ???? on animals that Jews are not allowed to eat. To teach us not to say disgusting on food that a human consumes even if it is a goy. Kal v’chomer a Jew.

ZD: Nobody called the gefilte fish ‘Holy’. Just that people eat it. And why does it have to be an animal to be considered by you food? Chickens are not animals they are birds. Are they food? What about bread? Is milk considered animal or animal by product? B’kitzur how do you define ‘food’?

Syag: That last question was for you too.

Salmon gefilte fish is actually good with mayo, although it’s probably better with “chrayonnaise”.

555 – so in other words you don’t have an answer?

also, i was taught differently on that pasuk. i was not taught that it was teaching us how to view food. i learned that the pasuk was teaching us how to look at the character traits/qualities of living beings.

Who said anything that I said only animals are food, Apples of course are food too.

I have definatly heard Gefiltle Fish called “Holy” in fact there is a whole book on “Holy foods”. Some I like some I dont really care for. Dont really care for chicken myself and there are others.

PS Add sugar to the broth, if that’s your inclination.

I’m a Liberal. I LOVE Gefilte Fish. It’s a perfect forsphies before the roast duck is served. After all they both started as water animals.

I love roast Duck!!!

CTL, so maybe I should ask why the people who hate gefilte fish are all liberals.

ZD, sad to say, you never were zocheh to have tasted my Mother’s (O”H) gefilte fish. It remains to this day, unparallelled within my universe. No one, including moi, has ever even come close to that delicious, sweet (but not too sweet) yummy, perfectly made Shabbos and Yom Tov delicacy. I wish I could still have it, but she had no recipe, and it was the one thing she made that I never learned how to duplicate.

“Challah” is actually holy and none of us eat it, we actually burn it… Had to put that in.

Original story from Mishpacha in Hebrew here).

A certain Ba’al Teshuva who had been learning in Israel for two years was eating at a kollel couple’s house on Shabbos. During the meal, it became apparent that the Ba’al Teshuva did not like cholent. The kollel husband remembered reading that one who does not eat “chamin” on Shabbos is to be suspected of being an min (heretic). In addition, he also realized that the Ba’al Teshuva did not shukkle (sway rhythmically back and forth) when he davened (prayed), as many Orthodox Jews do. Upon observing these two behaviors and realizing that the Ba’al Teshuva comes from a country where Judaism is not kept very well, he reasoned that the Ba’al Teshuva must not be a Jew according to halacha. Further questioning of the Ba’al Teshuva’s background turned up nothing to indicate that he was not Jewish. Nonetheless, the question was forwarded to Rav Eliyashiv, who determined that the man must undergo a giur (conversion).
