Gefilte fish, C or D?

Amateurist, the buffet/deli meal at Chez Marinne is urgent and key, IMHO.

if i run into emir kusturica i will ask him why his movies stink now and he will punch me out like he punched out that serbian politican a decade or so ago.

Chez Marianne is at the junction of rue des Hospitalières-St-Gervais and rue des rosiers. I do not recall it being particularly expensive - you can choose a "sampler" platter of 3-6 items and then they just cram it all onto a plate for you. It is more Middle Eastern than Jewish, so you might want to look for gefilte fish elsewhere (Jo Goldenberg's, just around the corner on the rue des rosiers). When I eat at Marianne, I usually get a kefta, some feta or halloumi, Tzaziki, and a salad of some kind. The food is very, very rich but incredibly tasty. They have a good wine selection too, if you like that sort of thing.

Proust was Jewish? You learn something every day.

Big vote for gefilte fish over here. I know it's disgusting to many, but what I like is what I like, how can I change? The place for Jewish food in Sydney is Bondi. Unfortunately it's too far away from where I live now. Damn I miss it.

Jewish woman to my sister one day in Bondi: "I love matzot - but I find it binds me up."

I think they need to see this thread...clearly not all Ashkenazic Jews love gefilte fish.

When googling gefilte fish it is remarkable how many pages are entitled 'carpe diem'. It's the universal gefilte fish pun.

And as much as I like gross pickled stuff, preserved fish, and other assorted nasties, gefilte in gelatin is a big no-no. Thanks, but no thanks. Bleargh.

♥ matzoh ball soup, though.

what i like about the jarred in jelly fish balls is that most of the time they dont taste like fish at all.

but i still couldnt eat those if i wasnt around other jews being jewish.
