Eating halva with lo mein or having halva for dessert? I would think mixing both would create a very ‘flamboyant’ taste, lol.

Why do you insist I think there is a problem with Chinese food? I initially posted it as to change the previous subject and talk about something less serious. By the way, I have tried kosher Chinese it tastes great in my opinion. It was some traditional rice with vegetables and hot sour soup. Yummy!

I also never said that the food you eat makes you a certain person. I said there are similarities between many of the Ashkenazi and Russian/Ukrainian cuisines. I think certain foods were adopted by the Jews from Eastern Europeans during the Pale of Settlement life, correct me if am wrong.

I’m sorry to intervene in your thread but what does sushi grade fish mean?

My family comes from Russian roots, and it is a staple to eat pelmeni/kreplach, holubtzi/holishkes, bagels, lox, cream cheese, kefir, herring, and braided bread; I have now started purchasing challah from a Jewish store they bake every Friday. It is immensely similar to Ashkenazi Jewish food and I’m very happy about it.

Hashemisreading, can I add hummus and halva? Now that’s yummy alongside Chinese food.

I want to take the chance to say I might have been wrong for mentioning your name in the CR trend thread, LU. I meant no harm , and if my actions were seen as offensive, I apologize.

Pointing a gun? Eerie! I’m interested to hear what happened.

Meno, I am sure Lilmod Ulelamaid’s intentions are friendly and I never got the impression her appreciation was not enough or insincere. Quite the contrary, she is absolutely nice. Sometimes words aren’t needed indeed, I’m not saying it’s plus one instead, but if she feels like it’s a better way for her express herself I don’t see a problem.

My only problem is when people try to shove “trendy” things in others’ faces just because they are trendy. And if you don’t do it like them, they judge you. That happens to be people from the secular ‘modern’ world. Yuck!

LU, I understand you.

Anyways, is kosher Chinese food a good thing? I read there are a few restaurants in New York that serve kosher. Would you eat there?

Hashemisreading, same. I also seem to be quite well sheltered.

May Hashem bless the person who found it. Everything has its reasons, I believe. It might be a call to action, maybe to focus less on your phone when you go out. I’m very happy you can have it back, Baruch HaShem!

Hashemisreading, sometimes we wrongly interpret written words. I don’t say or deny that bashing comments exist, however most of the time we just need Rashi’s commentaries to explain us what exactly a certain person is trying to express through their choice of words. In other words, what could look like a bashment (creative!) could be an encouraging word of advice, even if we don’t realize it.

LU, that was nice of you; with G-d’s help, it will happen.

My only interests are Jewish holidays and Yiddishkeit, not secular or gentile holidays.

Correction: I meant to say too much vegetable oil conspumtion is unhealthy, not vegetable consumption as in potato consumption.

Here’s my explanation:

I would suggest cholent, best way to preserve the vitamins of the potatoes and it is yummy to me.

Is Gary “Kasporav” a real person?

Doesn’t it contradict the Aharit HaYamim?

I do not think it is compatible with Jewish teachings, and slightly strange why wouldn’t they prepare for the coming of the Moschiach instead?

Also how could they prepare to survive if they think it will be the end?

Or maybe I have misunderstood the question?

I would have to agree with Rabbi Kroloff.
