How kosher will you be for Pesach?

[Bubble99]

Just asking as my prawn/lobster eating B and SIL have decreed that my children can't have their usual breakfast cereal/rice cakes/pasta etc while we are away in a holiday cottage in Devon.

My PIL (who keep kosher) usually stick with no bread, and we all love matzos but this just seems excessive as they (my B and SIL) don't stick to any of the dietary laws (except pork) for the rest of the year.

Rant over. For now.

I think a lot of Jews do be a little more strict over Pesach. But I agree, its a bit silly.

Either you keep kosher, or you don't.

Personally? I think the bacon sandwich I had today leans towards the don't side.

i don't keep a kosher home,but i will not be eating bread ,cakes etc anything leavened, and encouraging the children to eat matzah

fully accept the hypocrisy of my behaviour though

i do like matzoh meal porridge for breakfast at pesach

Tee

Lulu. The kosher frosties are foul.

I'm waiting to see if SIL gets out a feather and a candle for the cottage

the chocolate coated matzoh is worth a go

What is Pesach please?

also known as Passover..to celebrate the exodus of the Jews from slavery in egypt , the egyptians were strcuck by ten plagues,but teh angel of death 'passed over the houses of the jews and they were able to leave egypt. i would do some links but on an unfamiliar laptop !!!!

we are not supposed to eat anything leavened or risen.. as the jews left in a hurry, with no time for their breadto rise

Oooh...I didn't realise it was Passover

I watched a programme about Jewish people once - one woman was doing this ultra deep clean of her kitchen for religious reasons - why is this? Kim and Aggie weren't even coming around!

the ulta religious get rid of any crumb of eavened bread and /or food that has not been certified as kosher for passover

Ooh this is interesting and some people have separate ovens??

Lulu - are you going to give me Goran for passover?? I don't think he's kosher...

yes, he can have a little break,don't give him too many easter eggs if you do easter at all. don't weant him all flabby

the religious will have two more sets of dishes and cutlery for passover, one for meat and one for milk, in addition to their two year round sets.
some do have ovens for meat only and a seperate fridge and dishwasher etc

So why can't the meat go in the same ovens?? This is really interesting

Nope, don't do Easter at all, but will of course, accept any chocolate that passes my way so as not to offend anyone in my family

when keeping religiously kosher you have foods categorised as meat, dairy and parev . parev is neither meat nor dairy

you cannot eat or cook meat and milk together,so no lasagne or cheeseburgers . some people do keep it seperate to the point of cooking meat in one oven and having anotehr for non meat,and one dishwasher for meat plates etc

Thanks Lulu - I love learning about other religions

hope i got it all right then!

Well I hope all Jewish mnetters have a lovely Passover (if you observe it that is)
