Oh, thanks.

Smoooooooth! :)

Glatt kosher is like REALLY kosher, with a rabbi present and everything.

I'm not Jewish, but if you can hum a few bars I can fake it ...

My best friend in high school was Jewish. I spent a lot of time with his family. I learned enough kasruth (kosher laws) so that I was trusted to house and cat sit and not mix up the dishes and silverware.

:)Yeah!

We had a phone directory in college and my nickname of "smooth" was so well known, a lot of people didn't know my real name. So I put two entries in the directory. One with my real name, and one under smooth. glatt was a variation on smooth cause I was taking German.

(this was a snooty college with single rooms for upperclassmen, so many people got their own phones each year.)

We had phones in our dorm rooms in college. I thought we were so state of the art, not having to use a common payphone.

But we had roommates, unless we paid extry!

What was my nickname....hmmmm, yeah, maybe I didn't have one. Ahem. No really, I didn't have one!

:lol:

Yes, but only because I saw them growing in Sri Lanka - it surpised me at the time. I tell that to my children when 'nanas come up in conversation (after making gagging noises and explaining that they are inedible) so that they don't grow up too dumb.

And yes, I think of eggs as dairy as well. Not to the point of assuming someone on a dairy-free diet can't have them, but from the same associations as Dana. Except I don't keep mine in the fridge.

Glatt = Smoove B ?

We they are sold in the "Dairy Section" of most stores, along with yogurt, and that is dairy too.
:D

Eggs are not dairy and pineapples are not citrus. What is wrong with you people? lol

Shall we start the "do carrots belong in Jello" argument now? :lol:

Who puts carrots in Jell(y)?

merkins....

weirdos

yup.

*cellar explodes*

Now here's a wild coincidence for you. Progressing through my Nutrition textbook just this evening, I came upon this sentence:

I still agree with the distinction of pineapple as a bromeliad, I'm just pointing out how your average person would have every reason to be misled on this topic. Even professional dietitians confuse them, it would seem.

In all my life I have never heard anyone over here suggest that a pineapple is a citrus fruit. Maybe that's because they're very common here, as are many other tropical fruits. Actually, wouldn't a pineapple technically be a vegetable anyway? There's certainly no seed inside.

As to eggs, again, haven't heard of it as dairy, but I've heard some pretty heated discussion from hard core vegans chewing out vegetarians.

Just another textbook out of Texas :rolleyes:

That there textbook explains a lot about some of the professional dieticians/nutricianists working in the health system ;p

@ clod Right. And that's why I was surprised, I'd never even heard of them being considered citrus before, and to find it so entrenched....

I like black grapes and swiss as a dessert. Never tried pineapple with cheese, but it sounds good.

And no, pineapple is not a citrus fruit. Totally different.

That is pretty funny...
