i know this sounds weird, but it is my impression that kosher does ntot
allow meat and dairy in the same meal/same time? if so does this include
all dairy or just milk? also can you use a substitute like parkey or
soy/rice cheese? i know this is off topic but i just read about soy cream
cheese substitute and that set me wondering, Lee

I'm not Wendy but Parkay contains dairy, I believe. Here we can get Nucoa
and Benecol. They are the only two with no dairy in this area. I hear tell
there is a Fleischman's with no dairy and there is also one called Mother's,
but I think it is only put out at a certain time of the year. Some soy and
rice cheese also contains dairy. You have to check the label.

thanks, i had no idea, Lee

All dairy is included in the injunction to not eat meat and milk in the
same mal, etc. You can use supbstitutes like soy milk, etc as long as
there is no lctose in it t all. that is , often why you have to use
non-daiary products that carry a small label that tells you that it is
approved by a kosher supervising agancy.

There is a soy cream cheese substitute, brand name, Tofutti. They also
make a sour cram subastitute. You can amake a substitue by adding bit of
lemon juic eor vinegar to the soy milk to kind of curdle it. All kinds of
tricks to try to broaden ones repetoire.

thanks, i find this subject very interesting, when i think of this i am
reminded of a jewish friend who first introduced me to this when we first
ate lunch together, i ordered a cheeseburger and glass of milk, lol, she
asked if i would not order it and when i asked why i learned about the
basics... so i got grilled chicken and iced tea instead... later in the
evening we had milkshakes instead of dinner, wonderful memories, Lee

That is astonishing. I've had a number of friends who kept kosher, and they
never asked other people to observe their rules in a public restaurant. If
you are sharing the food, sure. But otherwise? Very strange.

I'm glad you weren't bothered by it. I would have been surprised, to say the
least.

we had a very interesting friendship, we both do the same kind of work,
except she had more disabilities than blindness, we were able to discuss
anything, and our relationship was much more open than most women share...
she stuttered tremendously, but as i grew up next door to a guy that did,
not only did her stuttering not bother me, i was able to NOT help her so she
actually calmed down and she talked better, she would NEVER have asked
someone else, but she was comfortable enough with me that she felt she
could, just as when she came to a meeting a few months later, i asked her to
NEVER wear the perfume she had on around me... i am allergic to most but
this one was really hard on me... again, i am sure she wouldn't have asked
another person, but we had almost immediate trust in each other,

I think lactose per se is not the issue, if it is possible to create it
chemically without physical milk it wouldn't be dairy. The issue is
physical milk, i.e. milk that was produced by an animal.

There is no rule that says a Jew shouldn't watch a non-Jew eating meat and
dairy together, or for that matter eating any other non-kosher food such as
pork or shellfish. Our rules are only applicable to ourselves.

However, if your friend was fully observant she would not eat food prepared
in a non-kosher establishment.

sorry,

it wasn't the "kosherness", if thats a word, of the food, it was that she
was raised kosher and the smell of the two together really bothered her,
kosher only got explained when i asked what it meant, she gave me a very,
and i mean "designed for the ignorant gentile basic, but it was just by way
of explaining that she was grossed out by the smells, Lee

This topic is making me yearn for the Kosher dairy restaurant on Fifth
Avenue near a former office of mine in Manhattan. Their blintzes,
especially the potato ones, were to die for. Of course now I couldn't eat
them anyway...

So maybe it's just as well!

However, I think something pretty closely resembling real cheese blintzes
can be made low-carb. The blettlakh (crepes) don't have much flour to begin
with, haven't looked at a recipe but if a person is only going to eat one or
two blintzes, that part might not really be an issue... and the filling, ok
first of all use splenda instead of sugar, and then make sure to use
full-fat farmer cheese and cream cheese for the cheese parts, and the eggs
aren't a problem anyway... ???

As a person who observes the kosher regulations, I would have no problem
with someone etng non-kosher food or combinations when eating with me, as
long as I have access to foods tht fit my religious requirements. If you
are not Jewish, yourself, you are under absolutely no obligation to
follow these rules.

This is probably one of the times that it is lucky I'm not Jewish. I love, I
mean LOOVE, latkes.

I always made zucchini latkes with part potato, part zucchini.

Do you think something like latkes would come out with only eggs, zucchini,
onion, salt and pepper?

BTW, even worse, the Sephardim eat DONUTS for Chanukah, no good substitutes
there. The Moroccan ones are called sfenj.

You need a little something to hold them together, if you care about
that. Last year, I used some gram (chickpea) flour, but you could use a
wee bit of matzo meal I suppose (I've done that). Obviously, you'd serve
them with sour cream, not applesauce!

thanks but as i said before kosher was a sidbar/only a related topic, that
was brought up when i ask why a cheeseburger and milk grossed her out, and
no I am not jewish, although, if there were a jewish sect with jesus i might
be pursuaded, sounds odd but many of the customs do make a lot of sense, I
just heard a BBC heart and soul on the prayer for those who have passed on,
i won't even attempt a spelling of it, very beautiful if sad ritual, Lee

Also Bimuelos! I think you would need some binder for zuchinni latkes.
Perhaps a wee bit of flour. perhaps chick pea flour whichis a bit less
carby.

Possibly, but since the zucchini has no starch to bind things together you'd
have to experiment with the amount of egg. One thing that you would
*definitely* have to do is coarsely grate the zucchini, then toss it with
kosher salt in a colander and let the liquid drain for 1/2 hour. To reduce
the saltiness, rinse it briefly with cold water and squeeze the liquid out
with your hands.

I know. I'm really sorry about the multiple appearances of my posts, I have
complained to my ISP whose news server it is, they referred me to the
hosting outfit, who acknowledged my complaint but haven't yet responded.

Well, I'm gonna look for chickpea flour which I imagine might be ok since I
can eat chickpeas... but IAC I think if I don't mind them coming out not
exactly like latkes it would even be ok without. I don't deepfry them
anyway (I know, I know, latkes are SUPPOSED to be fried...), so as long as
the pan is hot when I put the batter in they should form and be able to be
turned without breaking.

: I think lactose per se is not the issue, if it is possible to create it
: chemically without physical milk it wouldn't be dairy. The issue is
: physical milk, i.e. milk that was produced by an animal.

That is why those of us wh keep kosher need to have our hachsher on many
priducts , because there well may be ingrredients with a long distnt dairy
base that can be a problem, like much lactic acid. this is also why many
with milk allergies look for products that have hechshers tht show either
meat or neutral(parev) so they can have the assurance that there is no
dairy based acids etc in the product.
