Am I supposed to know what that is?
I believe that “riced cauliflower” is cauliflower that’s been chopped into tiny pieces, similar to rice grains. There is no actual rice in the dish, so it’s safe to use for non-kitniyot eaters. Google “riced cauliflower” for more details.
Its the latest rage of the carb conscience crowd replacing carbs i’ve even seen recipes for making a pizza crust out of it.
I would eat it. Rice is not chametz.
LB: CLARIFICATION: I would eat riced cauliflower and if someone else mistakenly thinks its regular rice then he/she will think I am eating kitniyos and not actual chametz.
I think the real question here is: If you are Sephardi but look Ashkenazi, can you do something that Sephardim are allowed to do or would it be considered “maris ayin” (the appearance of doing an aveirah even though you’re not).
I can’t imagine it’s a problem since there is no such thing really as “looking Ashkenazi”. There are plenty of Sephardim with light skin and I think people realize that.
However, I could see there being a problem if you follow the Ashkenazi minhagim for some things. I don’t know if it is a problem – you’d have to ask your LOR – but that’s the only situation in which I could see a problem.
But even if that’s the case, in our situation in which you are doing something that is even fine for Ashkenazim, I can’t imagine there’s a problem.
I have two nephews from (two different) “mixed marriages”. They look nothing alike – one is super-dark and one is super-light. The one who is super-dark happens to be Sephardi and the one who is super-light happens to be Ashkenazi, but it can easily happen the other way.
I think it means the Sephardi must have Ashkenazi blood, because dark skin is usually dominant. My light-skinned nephew from a mixed marriage has an Ashkenazi great-grandfather on the Sephardi side, so I think that’s how that happened.
My dark-skinned nephew is Indian on his father side so I don’t think there is any Ashkenazi blood there. He is very dark, but I don’t think my sister likes it when I call him an Indian and sing “one little, two little, three little Indians” to him.
Well she did laugh, so maybe she didn’t mind that much. Then again, she laughs a lot, so I’m not sure.
lol, just saw that this is a Troll post.
