Here’s how we work our Shabbos Seuda. We spend approximately half the time just listening to what our kids have to say. They all have something to share, even if it’s not related to the parsha. Of course we’re excited when they do say something related to the parsha but they can talk about other topics of interest as well.
i think he said pretty clearly that he does not eat those foods if given the choice and that he does not display disgust to a host. Just because those foods elicit that response in him (and I am right there with him, as are other adults) does not mean he demonstrates the response at a hosts house. And if he said that, why can you not seem to accept it to be so?
I think it is fair to guess that a primary reason why you would not know about those types of food related responses is because you don’t share them so it would not necessarily come up. I have a handful of friends who dread rosh Hashana meals because fish heads turn their stomachs, as do sheeps heads and random other traditional items. We talk about it more then, than other times, and other people probably don’t talk about it at all.I don’t know about foods with 7 except for:
יין (Yayin) 10+10+50=70 7+0=7
דג (Dag) 3+4=7
בּשׂר (Basar) 2+300+200=502 5+0+2=7Syag Lchochma,
“i think he said pretty clearly that he does not eat those foods if given the choice”
When does he not have a choice?
“and that he does not display disgust to a host. Just because those foods elicit that response in him (and I am right there with him, as are other adults) does not mean he demonstrates the response at a hosts house. And if he said that, why can you not seem to accept it to be so?”
I’m not talking about an active display of disgust. I’m talking about non-verbal, involuntary reactions that occur when one feels “forced” to do something that disgusts him/her. Observant hosts can usually tell which dishes the guests like and which they don’t like.
“I think it is fair to guess that a primary reason why you would not know about those types of food related responses is because you don’t share them so it would not necessarily come up.”
That’s fair. Plain yellow mustard nauseates me, but when it’s mixed into other things (such as barbecue sauce or marinades) it becomes tolerable.
I never realized my food choices and table manners were so fascinating to people.
And shopping prowess. 😁
zahavasdad,
“I never realized my food choices and table manners were so fascinating to people.”
Gotta hock about something on the CR!
Words adding up to 7 in Mispar koton, in order of the seuda; Ner, Yayin, Challah, Dag, Maran, Bazar, Kugel (spelled chaseir). That’s at least 7 things.
“He for example thinks one should eat Chulent at Melava Malka instead of the minhag Hamakon of Pizza (Because there is some “Holiness” of Chulent over Pizza)” – see Gemora Shabbos 119b I believe – the story of the egla tilsa – lechatchila one should eat freshly cooked bosor for Melava Malka (and wash).
