[Sca-cooks] Mrs Levy again

[Susan Fox-Davis]

My father's family is Orthodox, and they never seemed to have a problem with
fish at a meat meal.  Gefilte fish or various herring appetizers seem to be
favorite appetizers, to the point that my mom made sure there was a herring
buffet at the house just after the ceremony before going off to the wedding
reception when I was married.  Not, as you say, on the same dish as the main
meal though.
