DoctorWhat posted:They can eat whatever they want outside of the household. They can go out and get a pepperoni pizza or gorge themselves on shrimp. But contaminating (in a religious sense) shared dishware isn't permitted and that's a totally reasonable house rule. I mean, she said that as soon as he moved in pork and shrimp were banned from the house, so that’s not really accurate. Orthodox kosher requirements are religious extremism in the same sense that Amish rules about technology and electricity and buttons are extremism. Just because some people find them to be funny or cute doesn’t make it not weird extreme behavior. This would be like someone who was a really extreme Catholic moving into your home and telling you that you also cannot eat meat during lent, or cook it in the house. I f you try and enforce your own rules about ritual purity on someone else, you’re the rear end in a top hat.

The biggest problem with vegan food replacements are that they are so desperately trying to go "look see! just like the normal ones!" when you can just make a vegan dessert that tastes loving amazing. Went to a vegan wedding and literally the only food that disappointed were the vegan cupcakes, because the entire point was they tried to make them look and taste like cupcakes but instead it had a weird chemical taste to it and did not taste remotely like cake.

A coworker made an insanely delicious vegan chocolate stout cake. He used coconut oil and avocado for the frosting? As far as I’m concerned it was made from magic and was very rich and moist. Never tried a vegan cheesecake. IDK why some people get so hysterical about being subjected to vegan food though. Boyfriend sucks.

Yeah, I generally think vegan and vegetarian food that is just it’s own thing is great when prepared by a skilled cook. Tofu is a great ingredient when it isn’t trying to replace meat. But trying to make vegan or vegetarian ingredients do the job of meat/milk/eggs etc results is very disappointing food.

also meat is associated with toxic masculinity e: not in a sense of "if you eat meat you're toxic", in a sense of "people who have made toxic masculinity a way of life have made meat-eating part of that image"

Last time I was involved with a kosher audit, equipment that had contacted a treyf substance could be sanitised with boiling water* and was ok to use for kosher production. Is this only in some traditions? * chemical sanitisers didn't count, had to be boiling water.

Stainless dishware seems to be typical in India, and it makes perfect sense for durability, easy cleaning, and just generally the properties you want from your dishes. Are ceramic plates and bowls the default just because they are traditional, or am I missing something?

Because only the INSIDE is ceramic. Normal use things are sealed with a glaze. You may come across some specialty cookware this is not sealed......croc pots, certain roasting suff, cast iron.......but that's not like normal dinnerware or cooking vessel kind of things.

I looked it up, and the family should switch to Corelle, which is halachically glass and can be re-kashered (made kosher). The real point, though, is that religious law is determined by the officials of that religion, and observant Jewish scholars have put a hell of a lot of intellectual labor into deciding whether any particular kind of dishware can be made kosher again after contamination. People who aren't Jewish scholars can't first-principles it, because we don't actually understand the first principles.

People who aren't Jewish scholars can't first-principles it, because we don't actually understand the first principles. Agreed because anyone I've ever known who is serious about being kosher has a kosher kitchen which involves, among many other things, seperate prep areas with their own sinks, dishwashers, stoves, etc. Maybe the story we're talking about is some modified version, but someone has certainly picked and chosen their own rules about this and I'm not sure it's possible to tell if that's someone in the story or some other person/group.

The "ideal" situation for people who observe is for the whole family to be more or less all into it and agree on a Rabbi who will answer any questions they might have, which is not the case here.

The religious rules lawyering aside, steel dishware would be more compact and lighter than the ceramic equivalent. The concerns about insulation and use in the microwave make sense, but I think I'll pick up a few steel plates and see how they compare.

I do get the impression for some Jews it seems like figuring out the rules is all part of the fun. I mean sure they may be arbitrary, but they're there and everyone knows them, and you can talk to experts about edge cases if you're unsure. Also see that old, probably literally ancient joke about two rabbis arguing over a point of contention and God himself descends to declare his judgement, and both go 'You stay out of this'.
