mybat – oi vey! 6 kosher restaurants? No pizza and no ice cream? Boy, how the Yidden suffered!
Breaking news, kids. 6 kosher restaurants would have been a dream where I grew up (and when). Also, printing kosher symbols on labels was unheard even up to only a few years ago in certain countries. “Checking the ingredients” was how it was done, or by buying off a list distributed by the Rabbinate. Of course, ingredients were so much more straightforward in those days… you couldn’t imagine doing such a thing now if you keep kosher.
