Re: Your impressions of other countries
(I hope I worded this well lol. >_>;;)
Re: Your impressions of other countries
Re: Your impressions of other countries
(Not that that's too surprising, lol, given proximity).
Re: Your impressions of other countries
I've been getting differing opinions from different people here, so I'll probably figure out the hyped-up fear vs. reality after a while. But so far I'm trying to be careful, and paying attention to warnings, and hopefully that'll be enough.
Re: Your impressions of other countries
And you're right about the distance thing. Sometimes I wonder how the world would look if, instead of states, the US was a bunch of countries, like Europe. It'd be interesting, that's for sure.
And yeah, southern California does have a bit of a reputation, even where I am, though how much of it is deserved is debatable. On the plus side, if you're near LA, they have some really cool food trucks!
...But yeah, I'll admit, that's not a place I'd be comfortable roaming alone at night, which I know isn't really helpful, sorry. ^^; Are you there long term? Or just visiting?
Also, and I'm sorry if this is out of bounds, but I found some recommendations for some good Israeli/Jewish food (I admit, I don't quite know if there's an overlap, but these are what google has told me) if you're interested. (x) (x mostly an interview, but names the restaurant later) (x), though most of it is in LA, so I don't know how helpful those are. ^^;
Re: Your impressions of other countries
And I'll be here a while.
Not out of bounds at all! I'm not in LA, though I do get there sometimes, and I will check out the eateries :) I've already had some great pizza here!
Sadly I can't partake of most of the food trucks, since I only eat Kosher. But I hear there are some Kosher ones too, so maybe one day!
Re: Your impressions of other countries
Neat! You hear for work or school? (Obviously those aren't the only two possibilities, but those are just the two I can think of lol).
Oh hell yeah there are! (All in LA, sorry, since I don't know exactly where you are, and you said you get there sometimes.)
Yelp
The Holy Grill
Mexikosher
JewishJournal.com's recommendations
Forward.com's recommendations
Yeah, that's kosher
Plus, most dessert trucks, I would think/hope? I know that there are some that include bacon for Proper Hipster Cred, but not all of them? Though I guess it would also depend on how strictly you keep kosher. (At least, if I'm understanding my Jewish friends correctly? Like, I know there's the "no pig products/no mixing of dairy and meat" level of kosher, but then isn't there also the "area must be cleansed with fire + blessed by a Rabbi" level of kosher? I think? And IDK if the food trucks follow that.
ALSO, dumb-ass question, sorry, but would you be able to eat at Halal certified places? I think there's some crossover, but I'll straight up say that I have no clue. Though it would make sense, I think? Because the food is probably similar and now I'm rambling, sorry. ^^;
Re: Your impressions of other countries
Well, I'm actually on the "cleanse it with fire" level of kosher, though there is no blessing by rabbis involved. The confusion is that some of the kosher certification organizations send rabbis to do inspection in factories and such, but that's about checking that they are adhering to the rules, no blessings involved.
And actually, afaik kosher is generally more strict than Halal, so I can't eat there... I believe that most kosher is halal, but halal does not necessarily mean kosher.
Re: Your impressions of other countries
Hopefully some of those places work with your preferred Kosher level. (Or however that should be stated. ^^;)
Thanks for the clarification!
Re: Your impressions of other countries
Yep, some of those places are kosher for me too :) I am excited.
Re: Your impressions of other countries
Yay! :D
