Feivel, if thats the case we should eat Jewish food
SJ
that’s interesting
thats exactly what Rabbi Moshe Wolfson, shlita said.
that as much as possible we should only eat Jewish food
i dont really know what he meant though
i always felt he meant cholent, kugel, kishke, gefilte fish, lox, bagels, whatever and for whatever reason certain foods are generally associated with Jewishness today.
i dont believe he meant we should investigate the history of every food.
but im not really sure what he meant exactly
i dont know what he would say about pizza for example
or falafel
but he did feel there was such an inyan
he did not mean to poskin this as Halachah
just that it was a good mahalach.
in any case SJ, i wasnt really referring to the practice of eating different foods
more to the practice of eating in restaurants, especially when making a whole production out of it.
[as Rabbi Avigdor Miller,tz’l said: eating is a bodily function as is the opposite of eating. we dont get dressed up and use candlelight to perform that function]
