Guest guest Posted July 10, 2001 Report Share Posted July 10, 2001 Please excuse my massive ignorance. I have some of the families from school coming for lunch on Sunday ( obviously didn't suggest sat), and some are Jewish ( I presume reform as they live too far from the synagogue to walk, and the mums don't dress as modestly as you describe). Was going to offer poached salmon, and some form of chicken , can I offer both at the same meal ? and if I do I presume the chicken mustn't be in a creamy sauce. Glad last Sabbath was a success, maybe now the exams are over things will settle down. Curran Mum to 4 boys.

Let me put it this way. Much as I like you, if you invited me, or any of my community, to lunch, we'd politely refuse. If it was important that we accept your invitation, the most we would eat in a non kosher home would be raw fruit and vegetables. There is so much more to making a kosher meal than just not serving pork , or not serving meat and milk together. Therefore, if your friends have accepted, one can assume that yes they are reform or certainly not observant Jews. I am not saying this in any way to insult or offend, just stating things how they are Was going to offer poached salmon, and some form of chicken , > can I offer both at the same meal ? and if I do I presume the chicken > mustn't be in a creamy sauce. There is a certain type of Jew who may keep kosher at home, but eat out and not be strict at all. You could either ask them if they eat meat or fish at a non kosher home, or would they prefer just vegetarian. I am willing to bet they will either say they're not fussy, or they'll go for the salmon. You *can* serve fish and meat at the same meal; but a kosher meal wouldn't have them in the same course; the normal thing is to have fish first, then eat some bread and drink something to clean the mouth, and serve the meat (or chicken) on different plates with different cutlery (or the same, but washed!). I hope this helps and doesn't offend. Ruthie > Glad last Sabbath was a success, maybe now the exams are over things > will settle down. > Curran > Mum to 4 boys.

Yeshaya couldn't take her yelling and interrupting everyone. (Today I took her to a Jewish lecture that DH gave, and her hearing aid whistled loudly throughout, disturbing everyone LOL! ) Partly that for some reason on that Sabbath I was *very* touchy and overreacted to him winding me up; I must learn to float above the teenage windups. And partly he was bored and unfulfilled. This Friday we are going to DD1 for supper. My Uncle and Aunt cancelled for next Friday night and are coming the week after instead. So I have next week to plan for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
