Usually we tell people if stuff is kosher and they are thrilled.
Today one woman grabbed a cookie, asked the price and went to the cash register when my husband said - 'it is kosher too' and she jumped. No! And went back and put it down and left!
I am stunned. |

I am stunned. I'm stunned, too. I actually understood your post.  Now I am trying to figure out why it's in existence, or what it relates to, or why it means something in the big, huge scheme of things. |

I heard that if you eat kosher food you turn Jewish.

I heard that if you eat kosher food you turn Jewish. But you don't have to be Jewish to love kosher food. As for "turning" Jewish...nah. We don't take just any old Herschel, Moishe or Shmuel into our ranks, yanno. We're picky. We answer to a higher authority.  |

That's the silliest thing I ever heard of.
Maybe they didn't understand what kosher means.

We don't take just any old Herschel, Moishe or Shmuel into our ranks, yanno. We're picky. We answer to a higher authority. umm, let's see what I've had to eat in the past week... Wed - Schwarma made with Halal meat Friday - Spanikoptia Saturday breakfast - Bagels and Lox Saturday dinner - shreeded pork tacos with rice and refried beans Sunday Dinner - Matzo ball soup Monday Dinner - Corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, and carrots So by the above accounting I have to answer to Jehova, Allah, God, Queztalcoatl, and Zeus... So instead of going to one type of hell for my actions, I have several to choose from!  |

On a semi related note (not really), my niece who hosts our St. Patrick's Day dinner/event had t-shirts made.
On the back it says "coisir ar se!" Rumor has it that it is pronounced "kosher ah shay." We assumed that Yoda was declaring our dinner kosher. 
Supposedly translates to "Party on, Shay!" |

NancysSummerSip - Matzoh ball soup is the first thing we taught DD to make. All by herself. It's DD's go to dinner when I'm working late and DH has to do something after work. AND I would share...

So we need to find Jewish deli food in Chicago when I get there. After all, I have to do a comparison: New York vs. Chicago. After all, you already lost in the hot dog and pizza categories. |

NancysSummerSip - do we have to go over this again? Chicago thin crust pizza is the best. Chicago style hot dogs (walk through the garden) are the best. Good Jewish style deli food in Chicago? I've been to NY, we don't have a chance. You win on this one  . Hell, even LA has better Jewish style deli's then we do (Matzoh balls the size of a softball, and chicken broth with schmultz (sp?) to make me weep)

That crust is so thick, you could use a slice as home plate at Wrigley Field! And fuggedabout that green neon relish stuff. There is no normally-occurring food on the planet that is neon green. You do get huge props for the Italian beef, however. I want me some of that, with giardiniera (I had to look up that spelling). |

The customer who didn't want kosher food may have objected because it's more expensive (I know it's because they're more regulated and, in some cases, are prohibited from using cheaper ingredients). I've also found that kosher meat tends to have a blander taste because of the requirement that no blood be left in it. (I know your customer was buying a cookie, not meat.) I went to a 3-day class at a resort in the Catskills where the food was kosher years ago and that was my biggest issue- very bland-tasting food.
OTOH, I've been spoiled by real Jewish bagels- the ones where you shape the dough, then boil them in water with a little bit of lye before baking them. Anything else is just a hard roll with a hole in the middle.

The best Jewish deli I've been to was in Miami. It was packed with locals so you know it had to be good.

Ha ha ha ha ha! I'm mostly Sicilian (cough*mafia*cough) with a little bit of Scot-Irish, so if I put up my dukes (or my relatives) there's no way I'm losing any part of a fight lol ETA: Oh, and I work close enough that if I wanted to, I could go to Langer's every.single.day for lunch. Or Canter's. Or Junior's. Or the Apple Pan. Or Patina. Life is good  |

I'll try to cut long joke and see if you will get it. When cowboy saw Jew eating matzo ball soup he asked if he can have some. After he tried he loved it and asked - what other parts of matzo do you eat? Also for all in NY! Domino Russian delicatessen in Brooklyn makes gefilte fish out of this world! And no, you do not have to cook it. You have to buy it, bring home, cut and eat it...until you pass out. I don't know if it is kosher though... |

I don't know if it is kosher though... Gefilte (or gefulte, spelling depends on where you are from) is made from a combination of whitefish and pike, and it is indeed kosher. Thanks for the tip about the Russian deli; next trip to NYC, I will get there. Oh, and as for your joke...  |
