It's not a sin for Gentiles, so yes we can.

a) I thought you were Jewish. Oh well. b)I don't think it's right for you guys to talk about it because this is the JTF (not GTF) and a lot of us don't eat it anymore and it's not right to temp us like that. So...... yeah.

Mo, we have discussed it before... Although I fully agree with you about this we should understand the audience of JTF.

I think we should give strength to Jews who are keeping mitzvot while still not offending the gentiles.

But I think it is insensitive to talk about bacon cheeseburgers in front of me... I really used to love them. Even one of my Rabbis admits he used to like ham sandwiches... We are supposed to keep kosher because Hashem commanded us, even though we may like the food.




can you put non dairy cheese together with turkey bacon?

I stopped eating subway when I started keeping Kosher... I used to like it but over time it began to suck.



Have you ever had kosher subway? There is one half a mile from me. They charge more than the non kosher subways, they do not honor what they show on tv either. And what gets most people is the color of the meats since as you know with kosher meats they need to drain the blood out.

I don't like Subway food. I don't think it's healthy. I prefere McDonalds or Burger King (it's not healthy too but I do like it more than Subway!)

Same. If I hadn't started keeping kosher I still would not have eaten there.

Out of curiosity, are we allowed to discuss treif restaurants/food on this forum? Kind of openly admitting to a sin you know?

I have complained about this before...

Since most of the members are not Jewish they feel that it is ok to talk about cheeseburgers, bacon and such in front of us who cannot eat it...

I just keep reminding every Jew to keep kosher...

No real Pizzas on Passover either!

 :)


What do you mean no real pizzas on passover?

Unless a person is purposely trying to tempt someone to stray from their beliefs...I don't see the problem.

Not to talk about non-kosher food. Aside from the fact this is a Jewish forum, and non-kosher is against religion, is it really relevant to talk about eating that stuff?

Once again I fully agree with you. But as I explained before we are in the minority here. I believe it would do all the Jews a great service if they kept Kosher and lived by our Torah. I think that by discussing trief food some Jews may come to think Kashrut is not important. But I also am not the master of JTF and I can only work within the parameters which have been set by the leaders here.

Ultimately this comes down to how Chaim wants to run this organization. I will stand firm that encouraging Jews to keep mitzvot is very important but I will also understand when it comes to Chaims decisions.

PS: I think it is awesome that JTF shuts down for the Sabbath... Some have suggested to run the forum over Shabbat, but I recommended against it.
You shall make yourself the Festival of Sukkoth for seven days, when you gather in [the produce] from your threshing floor and your vat.And you shall rejoice in your Festival-you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your maidservant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, who are within your cities

But this forum has both Jewish and Gentile members.  I'm not trying to be disrespectful.  If non kosher food comes up...I don't think it is out of disrespect for the Jewish members.  I don't necessarily think that food, or a food chain, is the most important thing we could be talking about...but we can't be serious 100% of the time.

I wont eat at Subway because the bread is too doughy.

I buy French rolls at the store, remove the soft dough from the middle, and eat only the crust...it has to be crunchy.

My favorite fillings are turkey breast or homemade meatballs.

Here is a recipe for homemade meatballs.

1 and 1/2 lbs fresh ground sirloin.
2. 1 onion finely minced.
3. 1 half  teaspoon of cumin powder
4. 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon
5. 1 tablespoon of oil.
6. half cup of fresh parsley chopped finely.
7. 1.2 teaspoon of curry powder
8. 1 teaspoon of elephant garlic grated finely or sauteed to a mush.
9. 1 egg
10. 1/2 cup bread crumbs
11. 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper.

Mix all ingredients by hand in a bowl very well for 3 minutes.
Shape meatballs into the size of golfballs.

Sautee meatballs in a little oil till browned. Then add 2 cups of water to the pot.
Next you add 1 teaspoon of curry powder to the water and 1 teaspoon of garlic salt.
Now you add 1 teaspoon of oil to the meatballs, water and spices.
Cook for 1 hour covered, on a med low boil.
After 1 hour you add fresh Cauliflower cut up, 2 X 2 inch pieces.
One whole cauliflower is suggested for the meal.
Cook meatballs and cauliflower for an additional 2 hours to make it tender.
Stir every 10 minutes and keep cooking at a low flame.

Total cooking time is 3 hours for tender meatballs and vegetables. Serve with hot French bread.


If you do not like cauliflower, you can use celery, potatos or squash instead.

P.S. This recipe is Kosher.

I also like how JTF shuts down for shabbat, but I see no problem with gentiles talking about non-kosher food here. Reading comments about non-kosher food on a forum doesn't make me feel like going out and buying it.

OK, let me qualify my comments then.

1: Subway is one of the best fast-(non-kosher)-food places in my opinion--possibly the best.
2: I know there are kosher Subways, but I don't know how good they are.

I eat there on occasion and only get the Veggie patty since the meats aren't kosher (and yes, I'm a hippocrit because I might as well only eat in kosher restaurants).  Anyway, don't be fooled.  There is no calorie count on the veggie patty..only the veggie delight.

Thank goodness I have never purposely tasted Ham, Bacon, Shrimp, or Lobster...and anytime I ever accidently had it, I became nauseated.

I can't believe that the discussion of non kosher food can cause such a pitfall. If this is the case I think  it would be almost impossible to watch TV or open a magazine. People can't be tempted so easy on an important issue like this. I think most people who chose to keep kosher are not tempted over the talk of Subways or a McDonald's cheese burger. If anything I would think foods like this would reinforce the reason to keep kosher.
I fully support JTF's decision to close the forum on Shabbat because its the right thing to do from a religious standpoint. In it's early days the forum did remain open. If the forum remained open during the weekend there is no doubt in my mind that the membership to our forum would be well into the hundred's of thousands by now. Saturday night was the busiest time on the forum when it was allowed to stay open. Still and all we need to maintain a religious standard and closing down the forum may be worth the price of upholding this standard.
