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!

Hmmm. I don't find kosher food all that different in price than "regular" food here in Ontario (Canada). Must be a British thing.

Of course, we do have a relatively high Jewish population plus a fair number of people (like me) who aren't Jewish/don't keep kosher, but just like kosher food. I think the same is true with Hallal food. A know a LOT of non-Muslims who shop at the hallal delis.

If it is a British thing, I wish it would stop. I could enjoy gefilte fish and salt beef even more if I wasn't feeling like I was blowing money on unnecessary luxuries.
