Today we made Easter food.

[camwyn]

We made calzones at my house today. They involve ricotta and parmesan cheese, and ham and salami and sausage. I accidentally nicked one of my knuckles with the knife and bled a tiny bit into one of the meats before realizing and heading off to bandage up. Later on, I had to peel and devein a pound and a half of shrimp.

Meat and dairy in the same food product. Animal with cloven hooves that does not chew cud. Blood in the food. Blood of a living creature in the food. And stuff that swims in the sea but does not have fins and scales.

The only way I can think of to make today more treyf (since the cheese was not kosher and probably involved enzymes from calves, thereby violating 'baby animal in its mother's milk' rule) would be to throw in an owl. Possibly certain types of insect. That, or ensure that the pigs involved in making the sausage were slaughtered on the same day as their offspring.

Add some communion wine. Or better yet wine of some sort previously used in a pagan ceremony.

Also, don't forget, it's Passover, so the calzones' crusts count too!

Oh, yes, the fermented-products thing. Not only are they made from wheat flour, but they were made with yeasted dough. So that's all wrong then.

This (http://www.sicilianculture.com/news/2002-pizzarustica.htm) is my personal favorite treyf-o-rama recipe.

Gotta love those Italian Catholics for coming up with all this stuff...

Well, if the wheat was grown in the same field as grapes. Or any of the ingredients had been dedicated to the Temple. Or if you threw in some fruit that grew in the first three years since a tree was planted.

Hmm. I don't think there was any fruit involved unless peppercorns count towards that. I know the ingredients weren't dedicated and I don't know what was growing in the fields this stuff came from. Ah, well.

... This post is frighteningly educational.

Well you probably could throw in some frogs. I know they ain't Kosher. And what about the pots and pans you were using? You could have made it all with the milschic stuff. That should trayfe it up some more, maybe have some non-Jews come over and help cook it too.

[camwyn]

Well, everyone in the house was Catholic, so that's a start. And all of the utensils being used had already been used for both meat and dairy products, some of which were kosher-animal-based, some of which were not.

Are snails kosher? My sister made some of those last week in one of the pans, but they weren't included in the actual Easter meal.

Snails aren't Kosher as far as I know. Which I think is a good thing.
