NO! He shouldn’t for religious reasons anyhow.
oh my this is my favorite
Not as far as I know either. I’ve never in my life heard it mentioned. Nor have I ever heard of anything remotely resembling the laws of kashruth in the Syriac Churches. I do know that consumption of such things as raw lamb’s liver (not by me, not by a longshot) has been common in the Levant for ages and ages.
Italian sanguinaccio, for example, is a little sweet for my taste but otherwise not bad at all. (The thought of sanguinaccio always reminds me of my dad (God rest him) who got tricked into eating it when he was told it was “chocolate” pudding. Thereafter he would indulge in it from time to time.) Anyway, it’s not my favorite thing, but if it’s offered, I can do it without a problem.
Marlo, I would say that if you feel that it would cause a weaker brother to stumble, then stay away from the dinudugan. On my own feeling, I would say icky and walk away from the stuff as fast as I could waddle. But if your brother is okay with it, then chow down.
It’s basically the old adage “waste not, want not.” In general, many such things seem to be an acquired taste.
Morcilla…you made me hungry. Try it as a soup with with veggies. Yummy!
I dunno … It’s probably best to leave the details to one of our Slavic brothers (or sisters), but that’s the way it was explained to me by several Poles and at least one Ukrainian. The taste rather gives credence to the theory, but as I said, I kind of like it. …
Well … kibbeh naye is certainly raw, but I’ve never seen it bloody. It’s never been on my short list, but if it were dripping it would never have been on my table. Trust me when I say sitou wouldn’t have even suggested it.I too had only read about the ban on blood as opposed to being raised with it. I could have never imagined my sito, or any other Lebanese for that matter, giving up kibbeh naye.
Ah, so it seems that the Alexandrenes (at least in part) do keep some of the laws of kashruth. Interesting. Maybe one of our Coptic brethren might want to weigh in on this one.
In that case I’d hesitate to tell you the stories of my rather barbaric family. Suffice to say, my family would have their naye one way or the other.Well … kibbeh naye is certainly raw, but I’ve never seen it bloody. It’s never been on my short list, but if it were dripping it would never have been on my table. Trust me when I say sitou wouldn’t have even suggested it.
As I said, I have only personally known Ethiopian Catholics adhere to it, though no doubt by proxy their Orthodox counterparts are as practicing. To be honest—curiously enough—it has never come up among my Coptic acquaintances, nor do I know to what extent the laws are known (or practiced) among the Copts. For the Ethiopians, however, it seemed to me to be a matter of common knowledge.
