An (almost) non-dairy post

French Jews have made it to the Dining section. They apparently have a way with chopped liver. I wouldn't touch any kind of pâté OR chopped liver, or liver of any kind, but it seems like the sort of thing Dreyfus may have eaten, so it gets a mention.

Also worth mentioning: "Before the stroke, Sharon reportedly had a meal with family and friends that included hamburgers, steak, lamb chops, shish kebab and chocolate cake. After leaving the hospital, he ate Chinese noodles."

I don't know the portion size we're talking about here, but replace "shish kebab" with "falafel" and "chocolate cake" with "chocolate" and you have something awfully close to my own diet.

Another report claims: "A day before his stroke, Mr. Sharon enjoyed a typical meal with a close circle of family and friends: hamburgers, steak in chimichurri sauce, lamb chops, shish kebab and an array of salads, the Maariv daily newspaper reported."

"An array of salads," eh? This is a bit more well-balanced, unless we're talking tuna salad, chicken salad, French Jewish pâté salad, or similar. Still, lamb chops and salad, preferably with goat cheese in the salad, very tasty. Lamb chops, steak, and hamburgers all in one meal is probably overkill (certainly from the animals' perspective), but again, if these were really tiny hamburgers...
