The best substitute for chazir I have been told is veal, not beef and certainly not chicken, although you can always try it. NEVER be afraid to take any recipe featuring non kosher ingredients and change them as needed to permissible kosher ones. The ingredients in ANY recipe are NEVER set in stone. WE as Yidden have always done this. If we did not ever do this we would all probably starve, as this has been done all of the time. If we could not do so, ALL kosher cookbooks would have to be banned. Most treif dishes I have encountered can be made KOSHER….either by substitution, or sometimes by just omitting a no good item. It is quite natural to do so, without any worry involved at all. NEVER be afraid to experiment, just keep it kosher, whether by ingredient or by method (such as in very few cookbooks at all, even some kosher ones, does it tell one to BROIL liver before doing anything else to it! ) .
We are NOT copying the goyim……they probably stole it originally from us, anyway….and adopted it with their wishes! After all, their leaders controlled them for hundreds of years and always told them what to do……and also educated them as they wanted, teaching them only what they wanted them to learn, while often changing the truth. WE WERE and continue to be THE PEOPLE OF THE BOOK…..we are the really educated ones. They are getting rid of books now all of the time, replacing all with the internet. WE as FRUM YIDDEN cannot do so. How would I read anything on the internet on Shabbos or YUNTIFF? WE need the book or hard copy form!
Also, I have seen much too much of a new disgusting practice…..In a shul, how many people are now….NOT using a siddur…..but davening from a device! Do not be lazy…..go get and use a siddur! WE do not wish to copy the goyim, but here is the best way to stop doing so…..use a SIDDUR! OK, I am at a place where there are no siddurim….then OK, use the device then……BUT NOT when siddurim ARE available! ONLY use the device as a supplement! GO FOR the REAL THING! This time, no substitutes usually allowed! HERE…..they truly affect the taste….not to mention the product!
