Ham, Lamb, or Something Else?

We are not traditionalists here. I learned to eat pizza for breakfast 45 years ago!

We've all all the above, plus beef of every cut, pastas from every nation around the world, and we've done our share of eating out too.

This Easter we are going to Applebee's. Not only is this Sunday Easter, but it's also my birthday! So, my 92 year old mother is coming with us.

I'm not Jewish, but I've also participated in REAL Passover celebrations this time of year too in my past. The first one I ever attended was 1976 in Israel, in Jerusalem, at the Hebrew University. I've since conducted several since for various Church groups (but not in the last 17 years - I'm not doing that line of work any more.) But still, something about the Easter Season makes me want to go get a Lamb bone from the local meat market every year. The only problem is, (the tradition). ... the bone is not suppose to be broken. When you get them from the meat market, they are almost always cut into 2.

If anyone is interested in the Passover Celebration and all the various foods and their symbolism, an easy search on the internet: "Passover Traditional Service" will turn up a bazillion web sites. It's an interesting read.

Bitter herbs and all,eh?:c

Participated in my first Seder at a lifelong elementary school friend's home. She grew up Conservative but her paternal grandpa was Orthodox. He'd regale us by demonstrating dairy laws by pouring milk over raw meat. Early science experiments.

The man's family are Reform Jews and the Seders his mother had were very authentic from a secular POV; ordered from Zabar's in NYC or Publix when in FL, LOL.
