I hate when people suddenly decide that the whole dish of olive-dip (or at least seven chickens on a ten-chicken plate) is for them and their buddies. Not because I care about the dish, but because grubkeit disgusts me.Anarchist Chossidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04129716759837282565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594551858000480911.post-40914788413326224762009-01-12T14:20:00.000-05:002009-01-12T14:20:00.000-05:00bricktop - for your personal knowledge and future ...bricktop - for your personal knowledge and future reference - a 'dish' in this case refers not to the china, but to the food served on it...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594551858000480911.post-83209676553665284952009-01-12T13:52:00.000-05:002009-01-12T13:52:00.000-05:00oh your post makes me wonder who is scarier - germ...oh your post makes me wonder who is scarier - germs or hamas terrorists.. actually our bodies are designed in such a way, that they can handle germs pretty well. a little bit of germs strengthen immune system.. it does not mean that serving utensils should not be used, but the throwing away part.. think again about hungry children in israelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594551858000480911.post-73892204706611348012009-01-12T09:45:00.000-05:002009-01-12T09:45:00.000-05:00So what's the proper way, according to you, to cut...So what's the proper way, according to you, to cut hallah?Ookamikunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01145237927656807738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594551858000480911.post-25337860215920468632009-01-12T07:57:00.000-05:002009-01-12T07:57:00.000-05:00Actually I'm of the yekkish persuasion so pretty c...Actually I'm of the yekkish persuasion so pretty clear about table manners myself....much the annoyance of my husband (chasidish, so you can imagine) and children.

I take stuff with my hands or my fork, I eat with my hands, I steal food from friends' plates and I growl and bark too ;-)<BR/><BR/>My pet peeve is when I have sushi and people start taking it with forks or even worse, start unrolling it. And I do tell them off.<BR/>Also irks me a little when people refuse to eat some of the food without even trying it.

But, at most of the Shabbat meals I go to (and the ones I host), everyone takes his or her own wine before kiddush, so it's not a problem. <BR/><BR/>I also hate the breaking down of the passing. I feel like the passing referee at practically every meal I go to.<BR/><BR/>A HUGE pet peeve of mine when I am over at someone else's house is when someone is setting the table, and she TOUCHES THE RIM OF MY GLASS. Why would anyone do that? I have to put my lips there. There is the whole rest of the glass to touch. <BR/><BR/>I should probably stop complaining and just cook more often so that I can set more of the rules. But would I still be Jewish if I stopped complaining?katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09428267916507575555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594551858000480911.post-90814796093993170142009-01-11T03:08:00.000-05:002009-01-11T03:08:00.000-05:00I hate the wine thing!!
