Great article.
I had a houseguest and I toasted bagels for breakfast. I got out the cream cheese and smoked salmon, and he said, about the salmon, "I guess that's required for your religion?"
I said, "But I'm not Jewish!"
I didn't know that was required.

My favorite Kosher story is the controversy in New York over the copepods in the water supply. Some families were filtering all their water for fear of consuming the hapless little crustaceans.
- AlbertCory 4y agoI guess I inadvertently used "required" in both senses here: (1) required for Jews to consume smoked salmon, and (2) required to be Jewish to consume it. I really meant (2) in the last paragraph.
