[Sca-cooks] Rosh Hashanah - matzoh time - Jewish influence in Spain

[Susan Lin]

Suey:

I am no expert by any means but the Conversos were often turned in by
family members looking to court favor.  The evidence against them was
sometimes slim or non-existent.  If a person chose not to mix milk and meat
or chose not to eat pork those things alone brought suspicion on them.  I
can make an educated guess that the difference regarding the swiss chard
might be that the chard was cooking in pork fat in once instance and in
chicken fat in the other.  I am horrible regarding documentation (my
downfall at my first A&S last month, the first time I ever entered
anything) If I come across actual, useful, documented sources I'll be happy
to share them.
