Ice Cream definitely qualifies as dairy. So enjoy even if it is not Berthillion.

"Shavout"

That sounds like something I would shout at the neighbour's fat tomcat if he tried to sneak into my livingroom to devour a freshly caught and still kicking mouse..... ;D

"Shavout, you darn puttycat !!! And take that filthy rodent with you !!!"

Hi everyone! Here I am the morning after that big meal, and I'm still bloated after eating pasta, quiches, salads, cake, etc. I'm invited to another one of those fattening meals tonight, and I'm so glad that my daughter's wedding isn't until August because I feel that it'll take a couple of months 'till I can fit into my dress again.

And Gitte, it's funny that you should think Hebrew sounds weird when you speak a language that seems impossible to pronounce !!!!!!!!!!!!

Not only that.........here in Israel when you refer to a meal as being dairy, people think of it as being non-meat.

This holiday also commemorates the time when Moses received the Torah on Mount Sinai.

Can you tell us what Shavout is? And what the connection is to eating dairy? I think I'd sleep for a week if I ate all that cream at one meal.

I don't think I read far enough through the thread before replying. But what is the connection to dairy?

I don't think there is any connection. It somehow has become a tradition in Israel (no one I know here seems to know why), but Jews in other countries probably have never heard of it. For all I know, it might have started because during all the other holidays we eat those large meat meals, so this way we get to eat something different. I really must find out when and how this tradition began.

holger: It really does seem as if the site is moribund. Too bad and as I no longer have emails for anyone on my computer just want to wish you all well. I do check periodically but mostly now go to slow travel and the France forum there. Apr 22, 2015 7:54:32 GMT -5
