SC - kojel

[Christine A Seelye-King]

Concerning kosher jello, wasn't it a discussion here not too long ago
where we talked about jello?  I seem to recall the idea being that once
the protien had gone through every process necessary to make it gelatin,
it was significantly changed from it's original form, and therefore
kosher and not meat?  The distinction was that for vegetarians, it still
didn't matter, because it once WAS meat, but for the purposes of
rabbinical blessing, the origin didn't matter so much as the result.  
	I'm pretty sure it was here, unless my mind is really gone, and what
I've been using for one is that broccoflower that went missing...
