Two things I had forgotten

[fpb]

1) How much I like gefilte fish.
2) What scary awful prices kosher foods cost. I guess that is one thing that stokes the legend of Jewish wealth - if they can afford to pay four pounds for a bag of gefilte fish or two or three for a few slices of salt beef, they MUST be well off!

Kosher food is less expensive where I live (New York state), but I also know many observant Jews who are vegetarian or semi-vegetarian (eating meat or fish only on the Sabbath) just to reduce the headache of keeping kosher. I'd imagine that would be even more appealing where meat is expensive.
