The Recipe "Treif" disclaimers

Most recipe books & published recipes in Hamodia, Yated, Shopper, The Voice etc are of the non-Torah opinion that when their recipes contain non-kosher ingredients e.g. fresh herbs, Vegies, strawberries, etc (which a consumer is not qualified at all to check-hence treif) -

-they write a disclaimer "Ask your local Rav re: checking & cleaning for infestation". You know that there are NO Rabonim that know how to check let alone clean...see Chasam sofer O/C 132.

It's actually a treif "EXCLAIMER ! ! !"

Even though all Rabonim know that the herbs, vegies, fruits in the recipe are ossur because of infestation that you can't clean ..,

USE IT ANYWAYS.

What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear the latest? Queens Vaad honcho Joel Schonfeld at Young Israel (Schwartz's supreme boss) wrote a magazine article that kashrus is not from the yesodei Hatorah so if you criticize eating shrotzim at 5 lavin a pop, you are the biggest ausvarf of them all for hurting his feelings for pointing out that VHQ doesn't check properly or not at all! According to the article, he holds that you blogging rabbis are the "dark side" of kashrus!

Let's hope that Joel never learns Achiezer chelek 4 where R' Chaim Oizer and all the gedolei doro like the Brisker Rov, R' Shimon Shkop, etc, etc, level a huge insult at him before he was even born by signing a giluy daas that kashrus is of the yesodos of Yiddishkeit.

There has to be a way to pressure these publications.

Is R' Shmuel Kaminetzky a rebbe of Lipschutz?

Would Hamodia answer to R' Elya Fisher of Ger? You could also get to the Gerrer Rebbe himself if you speak to Rav Shteiman who has a kesher with him.

Did C.S. go to the levaya? A lady who was rosh yeshiva of JTS was niftar. She was originally from Boston so she may have worked with KVH.

According to the NY Observer, OU client Milk Street was not being honest about the real reason their restaurant was not doing well

http://www.observer.com/2011/12/milk-street-cafe-is-closing-occupiers-or-no-occupiers/

Milk Street Cafe is Closing, Occupiers Or No Occupiers

Poor Marc Epstein: Without the Occupiers at Zuccotti Park to blame for the downsizing of his business, there was nothing for him to do but shutter up shop of his Wall Street Kosher palace. Because as it turns out, it didn’t really matter how many barricades were torn down, people just weren’t eating at at the Milk Cafe.

As Mr. Epstein told Gothamist:
” It was quite an experience, and I would like to thank all our employees, and thank all our patrons for coming to us.”

Especially patrons like Howard Wolfson and New York Assembly Speak Shelley Silver, who went out of their way to remove the barricades that Mr. Epstein claimed forced him to cut almost 20% percent of his workforce in early November.

SO LETS GET THIS STRAIGHT:

kashrus is of the yesodos of Yiddishkeit.

BECAUSE:

R' Chaim Oizer and all the gedolei doro like the Brisker Rov, R' Shimon Shkop, etc, etc, SAID SO.

SPOTLIGHT! YOUR BRILLANCE AND ILUYES IS BREATH-TAKING.

Did C.S. go to the levaya?

He didn't go but he saw to it that her plot was donated free of charge a"p hoiras REY & RSW.

Does anyone remmeber the recent discussion about Hungarian party planners playing Russian Roulette with kashrus and shmiras Shabbos? A reader added an observation about faker Hungarian chassidishe hiding Haagen Dazs cholov akum ice cream at the back of their freezer.

'You know who' at the Queens Vaad who tries to assign every sharfe comment on this blog as having been authored by "Spotlight", jumped out wagging his sticky finger again that it is Spotlight talking and that he is "probably lying anyway".

We all know what 'you know who's" agenda is to defend all things Queens Vaad AND Hungarian.

He couldn't have picked a worse time however to deny that Hungarians act this way when this past month, Satmar hocker Isaac Abraham & his wife tried to generate publicity for themselves again, this time over Haagen Dazs ice cream of all things!:

http://www.brooklynpaper.com/stories/34/47/all_dimecream_2011_11_25_bk.html

The Abrahams went to the press that the Haagen Dazs cholov akum they bought to fress at Duane Reade was contaminated with a ten cent dime.

In the comments to the Brooklyn Paper newspaper article, a bunch of Williamsburg Yidden using cute names like chazirfresser are giving heck to the Abrahams for making a chilul Hashem.

Typical C.S. hoilelus.

The point of bringing the giluy daas of free'erdik gedolim was to show how retarded and ignorant the Queens Vaad is when they published a letter attacking their kashrus critics. A letter which stated the hepech of what the gedolim said is the daas Torah on kashrus.

Yet C.S. in his "brilliance" spins it around to "find" fault in whoever points out his own Queens Vaad tipshus. That's his ridiculous mehalech "haChaim" with everything.

"her plot was donated free of charge"

The only way the Queens Vaad & David Jacobson would give away something for "free" is if they stole the plot from yesomim who have no one to defend them.

"a"p hoiras REY"

The letter from Rav Elyashev orders the Queens Vaad to restore the graves to the yesomim they were stolen from. The Queens Vaad azei ponim have made absolutely no effort to comply. All they do is belittle the gadol hador as having no business dictating to America and they harass & threaten anyone who heeds the Brisker Rov's kal vachomer, ben bno shel kal vachomer, that you are mevatel learning to fight against Queens Vaad perpetrated bizayon hamaiss.

Avadda he will defend all things Hungarian. Even if he's moichel on his own kuved, he has to stick up for the boss. Before the Shoinfelds had a monopoly on Young Israel pulpits, they were Mizrachistisher Rabbi Drs. in Ungaren.

What do you think about the deli at Pathmark in Bergenfield going under hashgocho?

On the one hand, it's a plus that almost everything is from Alle and the mashgiach doesn't trust Rubashkin.

On the other hand, it seems he is a direct employee of Pathmark, not of an independent agency. He used to be a mashgiach for the Dallas Vaad.

Yeshivishe shechita? said...

cRc Chicago is the only hashgocho I'm aware of giving on dog food. It turned out to be even bigger bizyonos after the company owner was arrested for fraud.

WASHINGTON — Amidst evidence that Salmonella-contaminated pet foods are making the humans who handle them sick, the Food and Drug Administration is working to remove foods serving as vehicles for transmitting pathogenic and antibiotic-resistant bacteria to humans, from the market.

The Queens Vaad also gives hashgacha to all the dog food they cat people to buy.

http://www.pressherald.com/news/hunt-for-kosher-doughnuts-comes-full-circle_2011-12-20.html

What does it take to kasher a doughnut facility and all it's equipment? The so called orthodox rabbi in Portland, Maine, is an Avi Weiss talmid named Akiva Herzfeld.

From the article it seems he may have just done a Conservative style job of making sure all the ingredients these goyim are using "check out" and getting them to change the oil, but lav davka to kasher anything.

What kind of "mesorah" is Avi Weiss? Someone claiming to be a musmach from him is hanging out all day on the website of Shmatta Rosenberg yemach shemo. He calls himself "Chicago Sam" and is the yes-man for every anti-Torah thing from Shmatta. Today Sam is bashmutzing the giyoress almonoh of Rav Amram Blau with terrible motzee shem ra. Even people who are not frum wrote that Sam is lying and that the almonoh even altz shiksa hid a lot of Yidden in France from the Nazis.

Queens Vaad Kindergarten said...

The impersonator of Spotlight aka you know who needs to improve on his grammar and spelling because he writes like an illiterate.

Well, you said it. For some reason, most of the fress gesheften in Queens are known to have very bad tasting food on top of kashrus that stinks. So dog food is not such a veite description.

hunt und klavta said...

Strange. The leader, director, founder, noisemaker, and spotlighter
eats that dog food when he ah bissel hungry. He also feeds his kids that dog food but only if they cry first.

Elect C.S. for Dog Catcher said...

Ok, you got one of us takka that bishas hadchak gadol we will feed our hungry little kids a plain slice of pizza vechadoimeh.

There are more people than you think by the way who don't eat from your garbage Queens Vaad kashrus, whether the food is rauy l'achilas kelev or not (no pun intended). They just haven't gotten on your radar screen because they don't know or don't talk about it in front of any of the backstabbers you associate with.

There are people who won't even touch the plain pizza from Queens so they freeze a stash from elsewhere.

What's a klavta? I think the word you were looking for is kalba. But you should have known that, Mr. Pnei Hador ...
