SC - Re: seder menu.

[Jeff Heilveil]

Salut!
The seder menu looked fabulous, and I wish I was there.  I had a few
comments though...

Unless you are sephardic (spanish/morrocan Jews) legumes are plum out,
which would make the chick pea dish traif (I think garbanos are legumes).

Gefilte fish is traditionally made with carp, not pike and whitefsh.  Pike
and whitefish is a later adaptation, and was done so because the two fish
ground together come close to resembling carp.

Other than that though.... yum!!!!

It is funny about the Sephardim.  I think the extra limitations arose from
poor crop years in the north, which didn't affect the Spaniards and the
middle eastern Jews.  I had seder with some Iranian Jews once and the food
was wonderous, but the peanut-pea dish was not exactly what I was
expecting.

Cu drag,
Bogdan
