SC - REC: My seder menu

[Seton1355 at aol.com]

<< Awright, cuz, how come you didn't invite me over for dinner!
 I do beg forgivness...next year, perhaps?...

 >>>>First, is this a meal AFTER the traditional Seder>>>
This WAS the Seder/seder meal.  You tell half the story,eat and then conclude.

>>>>>>> I was noticing everything on the web page seems to be here.>>>>>>
What web page?   And, where?
 
 >>>>>>I left out the cheese because we were having a meal meal.I'm assuming 
you meant a meat meal. >>>>
Yes....damned demon keyboard!

>>>>>>Would the new cheeses they've come out with, that are non-dairy, I 
think some kind of tofu variant, have been acceptable? >>>
No, strictly speaking.  Tofu is a Passover no-no (as is rice for Ashkenazi 
Jews) but, the non-dairy cheesed don't melt like regular cheese, they just 
sort of go limp...It's not a pretty site!  :-)

>>>I tried a couple and they were edible, though not as tasty as a well-aged 
cheddar ;-)
 AGREED

 
>>>>> I used arrowroot as a thickener instead of rice flour because rice flour
 is  not kosher for Passover for Ashkenazi Jews.... What flavor of Jew are 
Ashkenazi?>>>
Jews whose ancestry are from Eastern Europe

>>>>> And why is rice (and I think some other grains) not kosher for 
Passover? >>>
Sigh.....oy......I feel Hebrew school coming on.......... Certain grains 
mentioned in the  Talmud as being a no-no for Passover and once something 
becomes a custom in old-time Judaism.......... Rice, beans, corn anything 
that LOOKS like it is swelling as if with levening is forbidden.

>>>>Up until recently, I had thought that any plant product was kosher, as 
long as there were no animal products (other than manure for fertilizer) used 
in their production?
Kosher yes, For use in passover, no...the laws are VERY stringent for 
Passover.

 >>> All in all, beloved cousin, it looks like a great meal. Thanks for 
sharing it.>>>
Thanks cuz, for your kind words!
 
>>>>> I'm still wondering about the lamb shanks and hot horseradish business 
from the virtual seder plate you sent us- I can't think of a nicer 
combination, and I thought this was to be a sacrficial meal.>>>
Sacrificial meal?  no.  It is ment to be a symbolic meal  (up until the 
eating, and then it's a real meal..  LOL) 
 
 Phlip, who has never walked away from a kosher meal, feeling she was missing
 something, unlike with other specialized diets.
