Posted on March 3, 2004

March 3, 2004 at 12:42:07a.m. I recently dined in a fairly nice restaurant in Brooklyn. A sign in the window assured one and all that the restaurant employed a “mashgiach tmidi just for vegetables.” Ot azoi! That was impressive, let me tell you! A full-timer just to make sure the veggies are fit for kosher Continue Reading »

Oh My G— !

Posted on March 2, 2004

March 2, 2004 at 2:46:37p.m. I never write G-d for God. I am tempted to write -o- (dash, o, dash), however. And I absolutely have to laugh, chortle, and guffaw at those Jewish journals that insist on writing H-Shem. That is just the pinnacle of ridiculousness. Hashem is a replacement for God’s Hebrew name (it Continue Reading »

WHO WAS THAT MASKED MAN?

Posted on March 2, 2004

March 2, 2004 at 10:56:10a.m. Every now and then we are able to pierce the veil of secrecy that shrouds the mysterious “K” found on some food items. Who is that masked “K?” And why is s/he hiding behind the eleventh letter of the alphabet? Well, today we get to “out” a few “K”s. The Continue Reading »

Whoda Thunk It? Kosher from Poland

Posted on February 29, 2004

February 17, 2004 at 9:36:46a.m. I would like to tell you what the stuff is, but I don’t read Polish. So working by what the pictures look like, we shall endeavor to describe the products. First of all, the name. These goodies come from KOPERNIK of Torun. Certification is, as we said before, OU, and Continue Reading »

Foiled Again!

Posted on February 26, 2004

February 26, 2004 at 9:28:52a.m. Reynolds Wrap? Release? won “Best New Non-Food Specialty Item” at the Kosherfest New Product Competition in New York City last fall.

RECIPE: BARBEQUE BRISKET

Posted on February 25, 2004

February 25, 2004 at 1:13:52p.m. Go to the bank and take out a small loan so that you can then go to the kosher butcher and buy a brisket. Three or four pounds is a good size. Ingredients: 1 cup of ginger ale (ginger kale for those of you of the right wing persuasion) 1 Continue Reading »

PASTA SAUCES

Posted on February 24, 2004

February 24, 2004 at 11:59:02a.m. Mad Cow, LLC makes a sauce called Karma Licious. It is an amazing sauce. All natural and vegan, the sauce contains five grams of non-GMO soy protein. The sauce actually debuted at the Natural Products Expo back in 2002, but we have only just now found it. For a meatless Continue Reading »

Another great Manhattan eatery

Posted on February 23, 2004

February 23, 2004 at 4:40:27p.m. If you read my review of the original Village Crown, you know I love this place. The staff uptown claims that this one is even better than the original. I don’t know about that (I’ll just have to test them both a few more times), but it is at least Continue Reading »
