Ärende: Kosher for 569
======================
-> Well, my friends Joel and Ellen are the lab case - he's the
-> one who gets excessively exercised about the rituals but has
-> no idea of the practical aspect (although he once did serve
-> as a rabbi's assistant in a pickle factory - therein should
-> lie a joke, but I can't think of one, and can't formulate
-> one that isn't extremely dirty) in the household. The reality

Most pickle jokes are, except for the ones my family tells - all of my
first cousins were born with the last name Heyns.  

-> fish and vegetables, and we and her parents chow down on
-> lobster with pork sauce and suchlike (quite literally). The
-> grandkids look on with a look that has elements both of
-> disgust and of envy.

At which end of the table?  The kosher end or the treyf one?
 
->  RH> I've eaten some of them, especially anything with beans.  They
taste
->  RH> like food....  Then again, I love custardy, creamy, sweet bean type
->  RH> things.   
-> 
-> I usedta, before the self-preservation thing came in. Since then,
-> my vices are less offensive - things like large steaks and beakers
-> full of neat whiskey.

Less offensive to the digestive tract, maybe.  I've known my share of militant
veggies and anti-alcohol types who would have taken more offense at the steaks
and whisky.  
 
->  RH> I eat a Happy Meal about once a year, but that's about it.  
-> 
-> I eat many happy meals but have never had a Happy Meal.

Just as well.  I get them when I have an overwhelming french fry fit, and
to get the toys.  Those get donated to a shoebox toy drive at the end of
the year.

->  RH> All it takes for me is cigar smoke.  I think the saline that makes
->  RH> people barf has a much higher concentration of salt than real
chicken
->  RH> soup.
-> 
-> The books said something like a teaspoon per cup, and the
-> water must be tepid.

That would do it.  I can't think of anything more gross.
 
->  RH> Much more like it. Throw in some fufu dumplings and you're got
dinner.
-> 
-> Fufu is too frou frou.

Ever chowed down on it?  I prefer fried plantains myself, but I'll take the
West African grits too.
