Deadeye, he was very polite to you, it had nothing to do with you eating there. They were most likely at least conservative and Shrimp gumbo is not kosher. It would require a through cleaning of the microwave.

Yep!!

Warsaw too!!!

Ummmmm, maybe because there's only a FEW Morons who would look at it, let alone POST it, in the US???    [flame]

I feel lucky to live in one of the most ethnically mixed cities in the country.  On one street I can get real Jewish deli, Korean, Thai, Chinese, Japanese, German, Italian, Hungarian, Greek, French, and even Genuine American food.  What a country.

There is a general belief that when a person puts there friends in  categories as 'black friends'  'Jewish friends', they are trying to hide a deep seated prejudice.

as a person living in NY, ya know where there are more jews than in isreal! I did'nt know that there were many living in anywhere except florida and LA. but here a tip, don't talk to them about the "old testament" it's insulting! and as far as their food is concerned, yuck! it only exsists because "GOD said so" they would've adopted italian or some other food long ago if they had a choice. I only say this because many times i've had to eat at these delis with my Kosher friends, can't even get a turkey club or a italian hero !

Shellfish, invertebrates (crab, lobster), serving meat with dairy products all aren't kosher.  Ergo no cheese on sandwiches, lasagna, most pizzas etc

Most Jewish schools keep kosher kitchens.  shrimp gumbo was a big no-no.

Depends on how observant they are.  Keeping kosher isn't too hard once you get started.  Some families keep two sets of cookware and dishes.

Ma Danby has a rather eclectic family.  She's half-Serbian/Montenegrin and half Irish/Penna Dutch.  Her older brother married a Jewish girl from Indianapolis. Her sister a Jewish guy from Manhattan, family is one of the diamond industry families.  Hey younger brother a girl who is half Black and half Japanese, with deep ties to the music and acting industries.  All have Jewish friends.  Going to Hannukah dinners used to be a hoot, listening to all the stories of grandmothers and great-aunts, and comparisons of brisket recipes, latkes recipes, what is the right way to grind the onions, What Onions?, secrets for matzoh balls.  And then a few days later at her parents for St. Pizza Day when all the kids select and decorate the tree, and then Christmas Eve with the Serbian extended family at Ma's parents.

Then we go over to our kosher friends for New Year's Eve, and get to hear their best ways for brisket and latkes.  

I hate to admit it, I never met a brisket or latke I didn't like.

Auggie -

From my WIDE range of experience. lemme remind you -

Defending yourself from antisemitism charges from this guy is like chasing thewind (pun intended)

Ignore him. He throws antisemitism charges around like I do pennies.

Truth be told, he does it so much, he renders it meaningless.

Matzos anyone???

Only in America, A right wing christian extremist goes into a deli, complains about the price and the lack of interest they have in converting to his religon.

Maybe next time you should go to a mosque and leave your shoes on as you wander about reading your bible.  Maybe they will be so impressed with your religon they will convert on the spot.

We should be happy you finally ate some good food.  I was not aware that a deli was the center of thought in the Jewish world.  I have heard stories about jewish owned businesses hiring non-jews.  Maybe the christian waitress already had her own bible?

Wow, a deli is a center of religon and the bible mentioned guns.  This whole time, I thought a deli was a place where you got food and the gun was first used in europe in the 15th century

You talkin' to me, pal??? [b] YOU TALKIN' TO ME????[/b] [:D]




Thank you. People who aren't "extreme" in their beleifs ain't worth their weight in horse sh--, uhh, feces, far as I'm concerned.



Yes, its VERY American to do so. [:D



Who's talkin' about converting anyone to anything?? I said "discuss." Only a weak minded individual would regard  a simple "discussion" as so overpowering as to regard it as "converting" anyone.




Well, THEY had a Jewish manora {sp?) right there on the counter, so go read them the riot act about trying to "convert" their customers.

Me, I regard their manora as their freedom of religion, but apparently you regard my desire for "discussion" as offensive or something to be criticized.

And gee, I just thought this was a nice little thread for fun....

What a maroon.

What is even more amazing is spending three pages and three days discussing what Gman had for lunch.

It has been swimming in my head all weekend even worse than that silly Chimpanzee postcard song.

Hey -

My littlest act or thought is EMINENTLY relevant and important.

[:D]


ETH -

I've never been much of a "Bayt-uhlles" (think Brit pronunciation )fan. I've always thought their music was best enjoyed WITH hallucinogens.

Thanks a lot, Hun. Now everytime I hear that song I'm going to laugh and think of a fat, blowhard viking.

I guess that would be better then cooking with jews....

Wow, for some reason I found this hilarious. If you believe the statement then the statement it's self is prejucial since it catorgizes people as prejudice.  

My heads spinning.[:D]

Regardless, I'm tickled as hell I didn't send that ham to my boss who is Jewish.  I guess I would rather have a deep seated prejucdice than be insensative and stupid.[:D]

Tj

No, you came across as a PUTZ.

Oy, and this is news why?

Gee, last week I ate with Mexicans, Chinese, and Thai's!

Having lived in South Carolina I know what passes for entertainment ... and eating at a Jewish Deli normally doesn't. You must live such an exciting live ... you do need to get out more.

[rolleyes]

Well G-man, people who are extreme in their beliefs are generally intolerant.  Extreme is usually close to irrational.  If I were you, I would not consider my irrational behavior and intolerance of others to be an accomplishment.

As far as their "right" to place a manora(sp?) on private property during a religous holiday.  The deli was private property, unless it was in a public building?  So you went into a jewish owned business during a religous holiday and whipped out your bible hoping to "discuss" the failings of their religon?  That is sounding like the irrational extremist I was talking about.

I am a maroon for questioning you?  What kind of classless jerk goes into a store and expects the owner to justify their religous beliefs in order to sell him a sandwich?  You are short on manners and a few billion braincells.

Do you try this at Piggly Wiggly or Kmart when you shop there?  Maybe you can start chasing anyone with a tan down the street and screaming bible verses at them.  Or do you already do that when you are not here?

See, now, I thought you were being serious UNTIL you posted this.

But your OBVIOUS hyperbole here tells me yer just having fun here, in this thread, as I am.

I did NOTHING more than read my Bible (uhh, the SAME OT they ascribe to, in large part) in their business. NOTHING MORE.

No proseletyzing, not even any eye contact with them while I was reading. The world is safe from me and my Bible, I'm SURE you'll be glad to know.

Cranky much??? Why insult me???

NOT like the "Paul" I've come to know and appreciate.

Or, in the legendary words of my maternal grandfather, the store delivery boy: "Heil Hitler, Frau Kohn, here's your matze."

Yeah..........and?

How anyone can mistake this as noteworthy is strange, to say the least. Had you sat down to dinner with say...a man from mars...now, that might be worth posting.

I'd rather see better Arafat in the picture. Just to keep everything in the family...

Hajj Al Husayn, Gran Mufti of Jerusalem and relative of Yasser Arafat, met Hitler in 1937.

From Nurembeg trial extract:

"At the Nuremberg Trials, Eichmann's deputy Dieter Wisliceny (subsequently executed as a war criminal) testified:

[i]The Mufti was one of the initiators of the systematic extermination of European Jewry and had been a collaborator and adviser of Eichmann and Himmler in the execution of this plan. ... He was one of Eichmann's best friends and had constantly incited him to accelerate the extermination measures. I heard him say, accompanied by Eichmann, he had visited incognito the gas chamber of Auschwitz.[/i]"

Raven, you better change that image.

Oy!
