A funny story...

2008-02-25T07:01:10Z

I was raised reconstructionist so a lot of the silly rules of Judaism have been treated like rules of the Matrix. Some can be bent, others broken. But my girlfriend did something amazingly wonderful. Not being Jewish but being raised in NYC makes her almost honorary. Her also being a chef makes her take some interesting chances with Jewish cooking, often, as we all know, not always the most interesting. So one day a bit after Passover she was making me some matzohball soup. Picking up the discounted kosher for Passover mix she set to making them for me. But we did not have schmaltz in the house. We did have some bacon that morning so we had some bacon fat around.

Yes, she went there. Matzoh balls made with bacon fat! Oh they were tasty. Wrong, but so very good.

Just thought you all would get a laugh and a smile from that.

nothing about turkey bacon...?

2006-06-28T21:32:28Z

maybe this is blasphemous. Sorry, sorry. But turkey bacon is better for you (of course you know that already) and if you buy Louis Rich it actually tastes a _little_ fatty.

see my problem is that i love love love the taste of bacon. But i have this deeply ingrained mental block on eating pork. Unless it accidentally sneaks into my italian hoagie or magically sprinkles itself on top of my cobb salad.

My solution: yum! Turkey bacon!

So - some friends are having a "Battle Bacon" dinner this weekend, and I'm making something I'm calling Brunch Pudding. I'm making French Toast Bread Pudding (out of homemade Challah), adding crisp chopped bacon before cooking, and will serve with fresh strawberries and a maple-bourbon sauce. I'll let you all know how it goes, and will post the recipe if it's yummy - along with any other winners from the dinner.

Any favorite weird recipes involving bacon out there?

Cheese-Burger with Bacon.

2005-10-27T21:07:03Z

The word "Palestine" is mentioned and a feminist conference turns ugly.

Reprinted with permission from www.frontpagemag.com

On Saturday evening, November 8, 2003, the eve of Kristallnacht, I addressed a woman's "networking" conference of mainly African-American and Hispanic-American womanists and feminists at Barnard College. The conference was described as a grassroots, multi-cultural, multi-generational and multi-disciplinary organization for women in the arts. Indeed, the women seemed to range in age from 20-65 and were dressed in corporate business suits, ever-colorful African/ethnic attire, youthful jeans.

Booths were arranged in a semi-circle -- it was as if the panels and performances were taking place in an African marketplace. Scented candles, beaded drums, sleek handbags, photographs, Citi-banking for women consultants, African skirts, all vied for my attention. In addition to my son, who had driven me there, and myself, there were a handful of white people, including a photographer from whom I bought two prints and a psychologist who identified herself to me as an admirer and as someone who had suffered a brain injury in an car accident.

The conference was closed to men -- but one of the organizers made a split second decision to allow my adult son in and seated him by himself at the very back of the room on a chair set apart. Growing up in a feminist household, he was used to this. Privately, we both sighed and wondered when feminist men would finally be welcome at a feminist conference.

I doubt that the organizers of this conference knew anything of my background but they were more than welcoming. They had real class and great soul. For example, when I'd explained that I was just in the midst of both a major move into Manhattan and a book tour, one organizer said: "We understand what it's like when a woman is jammed up doing too much. We'll love you anyway. You can let us know at the last minute." She was so damn upbeat and understanding that I decided I'd come no matter what.

In retrospect, I realized that I should have known what was coming; perhaps I chose not to know.

A few days before the conference I had the following conversation with one of the organizers. She asked me what my most recent book was and I told her it was The New Anti-Semitism. I explained that Jew-hatred was a form of racism -- only it was not being treated as such by anti-racist "politically correct" people. The organizer did not say: "I don't agree with you" nor did she say: "This won't play well to our constituency." She only said: "We need you to explain the ways in which women sabotage each other and remain divided so that we can understand and overcome it in order to come together. We need you to talk about your book Woman's Inhumanity to Woman. Your speech will precede our big Unity panel."

When I arrived, performers were rapping and singing and dancing and the energy was fabulous. They were running late and I waited patiently and happily. I whispered to my son: "There's still a whole world out there. And in ways, it's quite wonderful. Perhaps I have become too obsessed with The Jewish Cause, with Israel. Maybe I need to remember that I am also connected to more than one issue."

And then my first questioner blew it all to Hell.

I had been asked to talk about what women can do, psychologically and ethically, in order to enact sisterhood and to work in productive, even radical ways. As I spoke, the women in the audience sighed, cheered, applauded, nodded in agreement, laughed, groaned, nudged each other -- it was a half hour of good vibes.

And then my first questioner blew it all to Hell. All it took was The Question and it only required one Questioner. I could not see who was speaking. A disembodied voice demanded to know where I stood on the question of the women of Palestine. Her tone was forceful, hostile, relentless, and prepared. I could have said: "The organizers have specifically asked me not to address such questions." I did not say that. I could also have said: "I am concerned with the women of Palestine but I am also concerned with the women of Rwanda, Bosnia, Guatemala, who have all been gang-raped by soldiers who used rape as a weapon of war; I am concerned with the poverty and homelessness of women right here in America; I am concerned with the women of Israel who are being blown up in buses, at cafes, in their own bedrooms." I did not say this.

Instead, I took a deep breath and said that I did not respect people who hijacked airplanes or hijacked conferences or who, at this very moment, were trying to hijack this lecture. I pointed out that the subject of my talk was not Israel or Palestine. I did not want us to lose our focus. She grew even more hostile and demanding. "Tell this audience what you said on WBAI. I heard you on that program." Clearly, she wanted to "unmask" me before this audience as a Jew-lover and an Israel-defender.

I took the question head-on. "If you're really asking about apartheid, let me talk about it. Contrary to myth and propaganda, Israel is not an apartheid state. The largest practioner of apartheid in the world is Islam which practices both gender and religious apartheid. In terms of gender apartheid, Palestinian women -- and all women who live under Islam -- are oppressed by "honor" killings, in which girls and women who are raped are then killed by family members for the sake of restoring the family "honor;" forced veiling, segregation, stonings to death for alleged adultery, seclusion/sequestration, female genital mutilation, polygamy, outright slavery, sexual slavery. Women have few civil, legal, or human rights under Islam."

I continued; "Islam also specializes in religious apartheid as well. All non-Muslims (Christians, including Maronites and Melkites, Greek Orthodox, Catholics and Protestants, Jews, Assyrians, Hindus, Zoroastrians, animists) have historically been viewed and treated as subhumans who must either convert to Islam or be mercilessly taxed, beaten, jailed, murdered, or exiled. The latest al-Queda attack in Saudi Arabia was primarily directed against Lebanese Christians and Americans."

I continued. "Today, the entire Middle East is judenrein, there are no Jews left in 22 Arab countries. And, the Arab leadership has backed the PLO strategy in which the 23rd state remains under constant and perilous siege. Historically in general, but specifically since 1948-1956, Arab Jews were forced to flee Arab Islamic lands. Most are living in Israel, the only Middle Eastern state in which Jews are allowed to live. Jews cannot become citizens of Jordan, Egypt, or Saudi Arabia, for example and yet no one accuses those nations of apartheid.

I said that Israel was not an apartheid state. I talked about real gender and religious Apartheid, as practiced by Muslims. I told the truth. Clearly, they had not heard it before. The audience collectively gasped. Then, people went a little crazy.

Someone muttered darkly, coarsely, in a near-growl: "What about the checkpoints? What about the fence?" As if checkpoints and fences are the same as being killed by your brother or father or, most recently, in Ramallah, in the Rofayda Qaoud case, by your mother (!) for the crime of having been raped--in the Qaoud case, both raped and impregnated by your mother's two sons. I asked the audience if they thought that being detained at a checkpoint was really the same as having your clitoris sliced off, the same as being stoned to death for alleged adultery. The only response I got was from the first questioner who demanded that I denounce Ariel Sharon -- but not Yasir Arafat -- as a murderer.

I absolutely refused to do so.

The lightning rod of "Palestine" was enough to turn a very friendly audience quite hostile and a bit unhinged. Two or three women proceeded to ask aggressive questions in which they tried to get me to say that I had somehow "disrespected" poor women in my remarks; I had said nothing of the sort.

As I left the podium, a young African-American woman stopped me to say that I'd "hurt" her by how I had "disrespected" a "brown" woman. "What brown woman?" I asked. "Your first questioner was a brown woman" she said "and so are Palestinian women." I said: "Jewish women, especially in Israel also come in many colors including brown and black." She stopped me. "But you're a white Jew." As if this was proof of a crime.

I did not bother to tell her that without my glasses I could not see the face or color of a questioner so far away, that my answer to the question would have been the same no matter what color the questioner happened to be.

As I was trying to leave, one woman, who said her name was "Lupe," (she was dressed in a button-festooned serape, and had a cross tattooed between her eyebrows) loped after me and continued to demand that I deal with the Palestine question. She kept trying to get at me physically. One of the organizers kept putting her own body between Lupe and me. Lupe behaved like a trained operative, her rage was legitimized, empowered, by her politics.

The three young African-American women who had invited me were VERY supportive of me, they hugged me and thanked me for coming and looked rather embarrassed about what had happened.

What's important is this: Not one of them tried to stop what was happening, not one stood up and said: "Something good has just turned ugly and we must not permit this to happen." Thus, the "good" people did nothing to disperse the hostility or to address the issues. Perhaps they were simply unprepared on the issues; perhaps they agreed with the view that Israel is an apartheid state and that anyone who would dare defend it was supposed to be treated as a traitor and enemy. Perhaps they simply lacked the courage to stand up to the fundamentalists in their midst.

There was no room for civilized discourse when the word "Palestine" is seen as a symbol for every downtrodden group of color who are "resisting" the racist-imperialist American and Zionist Empires.

Afterwards, my son told me that he was on his feet the minute The Questioner spoke and although I could not see him either, I was glad to know that he was in the room. Things could easily have turned much uglier. (By the way: Talk about gender apartheid! The conference confined him to his men-only single chair section).

It seemed that The Questioner had at least one, and possibly two henchwoman with her. Clearly, she wanted to "get" the pro-Israel white Jew.

I couldn't help reflecting on my life's work against racism. For example, in 1963, I joined The Northern Student Movement and tutored Harlem students. This was the Northern branch of the civil rights movement. In the late 1960s, I was involved with both the Young Lords and the Black Panthers. I marched outside the Women's House of Detention when they jailed Angela Davis. I was involved in the Inez Garcia case and have written extensively about the cases of both Joanne Little and Yvonne Wanrow, two women of color who, like Garcia, had killed (white) men in self-defense. In the mid-70s, I interviewed Jews from India, Iran, Afghanistan, and North Africa, and Jews who had fled Arab lands about "cultural" or "ethnic" racism in Israel. By the early 1970s, I also began organizing against Jew-hatred on the left and among feminists in America. Over the years, I have lectured on the complexities of both racism and sexism in the Caribbean, Europe, the Middle East, and in Japan.

For nearly 30 years, I taught working-class and students of color at a public university. I admired and loved them and was sometimes able to help them in ways that changed their views and their lives.

Here's what's sad. Clearly, my speech touched hearts and minds; there was room for common ground and for civilized discourse. But not once the word "Palestine" was uttered, not when "Palestine" is seen as a symbol for every downtrodden group of color who are "resisting" the racist-imperialist American and Zionist Empires. Once the "Palestine" litmus test of political respectability was raised, everyone responded on cue, as if programmed and brainwashed. It immediately became a "white" versus "brown" thing, an "oppressed" versus an "oppressor" thing.

These are the Brownshirts of our time. The fact that they are women of color, womanists/feminists is all the more chilling and tragic. And unbelievable. And to me: Practically unbearable.

Afterwards, my son, ever-wise, said: "Well mom, you have your answer. The Jew-haters will never allow you into their wider, wonderful world. You can't go back."

Favorite use of bacon

2005-08-31T14:16:00Z

Favorite use of bacon... in cooking! I mean yeah, I guess bacon would make an okay bookmark, but you'd get your pages all greasy (I get everything greasy anyhow), or a tasty tongue depressor, but here's your opportunity to share your favorite recipes where the almighty bacon transforms an otherwise blase meal. Here's my din-din tonight:
I whipped up some homemade pierogies earlier in the day. For those unfamiliar w/ Pennsylvania Dutchy cooking (they're actually Polish originally, but a staple food 'round here nonetheless), the pierogi is a cooked pasta shell filled w/ mashed potato, cheese and sometimes onion. In mine I use mashed 'taters made w/ sour cream and cream cheese (in place of milk), they keep better in the fridge and taste better. Add some shredded Monterey Jack and Swiss, wrap the suckers up and freeze 'em for later. When you're ready, just boil 'em for five minutes, drain 'em an they're good to go--in the pan, deep-fryer, or just plain boiled are fine. In this case, I'm sauteeing the lil' bastards in bacon grease and minced garlic.
I get eight strips of Kunzler's low-fat bacon to desired crispiness and toss in about sixteen freshly-boiled piergies. Toss in some freshly-chopped scallions, season liberally w/ onion salt, pepper, parsley, celery seed, and fresh chives. When yer just about done, dump some fresh-grated parmesan on the whole mess. Unlike the dry-as-dead-skin Kraft "shaker cheese", the block parm melts real nice. Dump the mess o' bacon, pierogi and such onto a plate and drop an 8-oz container of sour cream on top. Hoo lawdy, my plate done runneth over... my belch could kill a moose at twenty feet.
So what are you makin' with your bacon?

Unforgettable Bacon

2005-07-22T06:40:16Z

I went to Washington state for a weekend to see a show at the Gorge. I drove with a friend about 180 miles east of seattle to a nowhere town called Othello, where my friend and I stayed for the weekend. There was this breakfast joint we hit up every morning we were there. I swear to god, up until that point, i had never ever had bacon that tasted as good and as fresh as it did in that town. i have still never had bacon that tasted the way it did in that town. i swore to myself i would never have bacon again so that i would remember the quality of bacon that i had that weekend. sadly, i'm bad bad jew, and i still eat the bacon, and i've forgotten how super duper that taste was.

So, that's about it. there's my story. talk amongst yourselves.

my mother always comes over for xmas day with me and my kid, and her dad (episcopalian), and my best friend (presbyterian), and my dad (catholic), and my brother and cousin and aunt (jewish).

we usually have bagels and lox, often with bacon, and for dinner we eat a ham.

if i come from a corrupt family, and i recognize it, does that make me more or less responsible for my breaking of the laws?

Why I Love Bacon/pork (a theory)

2004-12-20T18:06:49Z

So being a jew, I am supposed to be raised w/o pork, as my grandmother kept semi kosher and we lived with her after my parents split when I was very young.

So while my friends ate bacon for breakfast, my grandmother would get "firebrand beef strips" or turkey bacon. While these are all well and good for the jew who avoids pork, it seemed to speak to me as saying, "bacon is so tasty, it is a shame you can't have any so you have to settle for this lame ass substitute while the rest of the world dines on delicious smokey goodness" Plus it also didn't help that while she avoided serving pork, shellfish didn't phase her and we dined on Maryland blue crabs every summer as well as other shell fish which are supposedly just as unkosher as pork. So I grew up eating shellfish and I can chose to eat it or not, depending on my mood, BUT since pork or more so bacon, was so taboo, if it is there in front of me, I cannot even resist.

So this is my theory for why I love bacon. Of course, when I don't want to take the time to spew all these excuses out at people (ie: other jews who NEVER eat pork) I just reply and say, "Its ok...my husband is methodist." which usually leaves them confused.

It may sound gross to some, but I have always loved chopped liver but I make mine with plenty of delicious crispy bacon. Even people who wouldn't think of eating chopped liver have tried it and liked it - never underestimate the power of the smell of bacon.

Why are there so many UCSC jews???

2004-11-16T23:55:17Z

I just noticed something on this site, there are two different UCSC connected tribes, what's the deal with that? I am a jew who happened to go to UCSC, but I didn't join because there were other jews from UCSC, I joined because I wanted to. Am I really that average, that typical, that generic? What's going on here???

Jew-wannabes love bacon, too

2004-09-24T19:27:47Z

I'm not really Jewish, though I often claim that Sammy Davis and his wife were my parents when I go to Seder every year. Basically, I just wish I were a Jew. Ironically, I grew up knowing only one Jew, and she was a Jew for Jesus (which many Jews claim really puts her out of the Jewish category, but I digress). When I went to Harvard (a bastion of Jewish intellectualism) I was in for quite a shock with my fundamentalist Christian little self. My real name is Matthew and I used to always tell people they could remember my name because it's the first book in the new testament. I can't tell you how many blank looks I would get before I changed that little mnemonic clue.

So, enough with the introductions. Basically, I think that bacon is not really pork. It's not even meat. it's an unquantifiable substance that exists outside of all other known categories of food products. That, to me, is why Jews love it so much, but don't go to hell for eating it. It's been touted as pork which gives it that little bit of naughty frisson when you eat it. But, because it isn't really meat, you can't be punished for eating it.

Anyway, I LOVE bacon. I have gone to Seder for the past 15 or 16 years. I had an overbearing, verbose and well-meaning mother. I figure I must be Jewish. Whatever the truth of that last statement, I'm glad to be among fellow bacon eaters.

team rowdy jew on tribe!

2004-06-17T18:39:44Z

at last! we've finally brought team rowdy jew online...
Team Rowdy Jew was created in 2001 at the sham-blah-blah music festival in the kootenays by rocky mann and kit rottenchild because, goddamnit, it's just not hip enough to be a jew in canada in this day and age and we figured we needed to change that.
and so- team rowdy jew was born for jews and goyim alike.
as long as you love every one, or especially if you have a fondness for jewish booty, or food, or that speacial brand of guilt you see your friend's mom serving up, you are wayy more than welcome to join...come, celebrate judaism in all it's glory!!!
we have a very loose political stance...we don't want to kill any palestinians...we're against the apartheid wall...if it was up to us, we'd share the home land...we're all for unity and peace. we want a world where we can celebrate diversity and not be descriminated for it, regardless of what our culture is...
team rowdy jew is also rooted firmly in the belief that we should all have a really good laugh about the stereo types of judaism..cause well..fuck yeah... their funny. if you can't laugh at your self...?

i would like to welcome one and all to join this team...
while our membership offline exceeds 150 people, from vancouver to halifax, from denmark to lybia, we are sorely lacking in an online community...

show the world how much you love your jew-osity, or how much you just love the jews...

come get rowdy with us...

Ah, the joys of traif

2004-05-03T23:28:53Z

Howdy from a nice Jewish girl who's been eating all kinds of traif, including pork products, from a very tender age.

Funniest bacon bit (pun intended) I ever saw: there used to be a hot dog shop near Harvard Square, Cambridge MA, called (if memory serves me right) The Underdog. The star of their menu was called The Blasphemy -- a Hebrew National hot dog topped with cheese and bacon. A note under the menu said something to the effect of "If you don't understand why this is a blasphemy, take a visit to New York City sometime."

As Woody Allen once said: "Why pork was proscribed by Hebraic law is still unclear, and some scholars believe that the Torah merely suggested not eating pork at certain restaurants."

Cheers! (wanders off in search of a bacon cheeseburger or something)

When was your first?

2004-04-19T13:29:29Z

For those of us who were raised keeping kosher, it may have been a big step to finally taste that forbidden fruit...
May i ask when and what it was?

For me, i was only 6. I was playing at a neighbor's house and their mom made us sandwiches. I took a bite without asking what was in it... i could taste meat! and cheese! "what is it?" i asked. When i heard that it was ham and cheese i looked up at the sky, expecting something big and bad to happen. When nothing did, i finished the sandwich--but i didn't tell my mom!
I didn't really "fall off the wagon" until much later in life... might have been sushi that finally did it for me.

Bacon adventures

2004-04-12T06:47:48Z

There are times when cuisine is just hit-or-miss, you know? I mean, when it's done well, it's just so wonderful you want to tell all your friends about it. But what about those times it just doesn't go right? Wouldn't you want to share that too, so it can be avoided? Or how about if it's just plain funny?

How about this...

I go out for breakfast with some friends in Berkely one morning. They chose a restaurant that is very popular for making really excellent breakfast food, that is old fashioned, yet with a Californian healthful attitude and emphasis on quality and organic ingredients. It's a sort of down-home old fashioned looking place. The owners collect odd antique kitchen equipment and utensils, then hang them from the big wooden rafters.

It was hard to oder, cuz they described the food so nicely. I finally decided to get fruit pancakes, or some such thing, and some excellent coffee. I realised I needed some protien with all this, so I asked for a side order of bacon. The menu says, it's low salt, apple-smoked bacon, with no nitrites.

I get my bacon a bit late. No big deal. It's all been quite delicious. The strips were small, greyish and not all buckled from the heat of a grille. Definitely done cooking, crunnnchy, not crispy. Let me tell you...bacon is just not the same without generous amounts of salt...and nitrites...

The waitress showed up, to remove some of our empty dishes, and caught me turning the salt shaker upside down over my bacon. She looked horrified for a second, but then said with a slight chuckle, "Are you putting -sugar- on your bacon?"
My turn to be horrified, I said, "Oh..no-no-no. It just really needed some extra salt. Just not the same without it, you know." Now, she had a look on her face like, if she didn't have dishes in both hands she would have slapped her forehead and let out a "Douh!" I seem to have become a charlatan in her eyes, who had missed the point. I grinned and said cheerily, "Got Nitrites?!"

Really now...what is the point of eating thin slices of fatty pig, if they don't taste, well...bacon-y?

blood in beef

in Israel (or perhaps in all kosher beef) they drain the blood out of it. not only does it not taste right, bloodless and all, but it doesn't digest well.

i've vomited for 24 hours the last few times i've tried it. maybe the blood in the beef helps you digest it? or is there some other reason why kosher beef is so shwag?

pork belly

2004-02-26T01:32:19Z

I'm new to this un-kosher thing but have been experimenting lately and am loving it. The pinnacle of this happened last night.

I went to the Fifth Floor restaurant in San Francisco and ordered their niman ranch poached pork belly. For those unfamilliar with the dish, it's pretty the same cut as bacon except instead of making the cross cut slices it is cut as a steak. The restaurant slowly cooks the pork belly with black truffles and serves four cubes, each side about an inch and a half.

It was amazing... incredible... unbelievable. I imagined high salt and somewhat chewy but instead it was very slightly salty and had the tase of this amazing meatyness. The texture was incredible too as the marbled cut was tender, juicy and just about as close to perfection as meat could get. The black truffles gave the meat cuts this wonderful spell and deepened the flavor.

Had to share the experience. If you're ever in San Francisco try it. (I have to admit that I was only able to afford the place because a close friend of mine works there. The pork belly entree alone is $36.)

If you have the opportunity, try it. If you've had it at other places, please do share your experience
