My daughter came up to me while I was on the computer and handed me a bottle (1/3 full) of Stella Artois.
“Ema said you can have this,” she said.
I asked, “Where’s the rest of it?”
“In the cholent.”
I am so looking forward to lunch tomorrow.
Lunch? You call the heilige seudas Shabbos lunch? You must be modern orthodox! </ hyperbolic, sarcastic, fanatical rant>
I tried that once (beer in the cholent). It took a while, but I’ve b”H since been able to restore sholom bayis.
tsk tsk, A waste of a good beer. beer is beer, chulent is chulent. best not to mix the two. And of course, always remember,
Don’t drink and dive.
No, seriously. I totally missed the pool. Whatever…
Of course, all the alcohol will have evaporated.
Beer lends a nice flavor to cholent. I also like a little bbq sauce, a ton of fried onions, garlic, paprika, and smoked salami, in addition to chulent fleisch, onion soup mix, etc.
Daay Yochid, who do you think is better in Hashems eyes, the one that calls Shabbos Seuda “lunch” but does not cheat and steal or talk loshon hora and makes machlokes, or the one that calls it ” Seuda” but does all of the above? Stop focusing on the petty issues and worry about the serious ones
GM,
I was joking. But thanks anyhow.
As long as its Rolling Rock….bring it on!
achosid
Rolling rock isn’t beer. Stella is beer.
Dear daughter of takahmamash,
kol hakavod, but really, we don’t put beer in the cholent: whisky is much better, and in Adar we should increase joy. During Pesach I advise plums liquor, because cachaca is too sweet. Shavua Tov, Chodesh Tov!
I wish I had a steaming bowl of cholent on a day like today, with some kishka and at least 3 kinds of kugel and deli.
We had a healthier shabbos lunch 🙁
So what’s wrong with healthy? Healthy can be delicious too. Even cholent and kishka and kugel can be healthy.
“Even cholent and kishka and kugel can be healthy.”
Good luck finding people who will want to eat a healthy cholent kishka and kugel!
Mah Zeh Shabbos “lunch?”
Healthy does not have to taste bad! It is easy to make cholent and kugel healthy and no one will know the difference. Kishka is significantly more difficult, but not impossible.
only boys like unhealthy chulent kugel and kishke.. girls like it healthy and good… and whoohoo i luv fri nt cholent.. my fam dus it every week now.. just a tad complicated w the whole keep holding it w oven mit thing cuz of bishul..
I know boys who like healthy food and girls who like unhealthy food, as well as many people of both genders who appreciate both.
Friday night cholent is an interesting idea. How do you keep it from burning since the crockpot stays on for all of Shabbos? Or do you make it in a Dutch oven instead?
its rlly commen.. so my mother makes it earlier than usual so its ready at like 10 but i think she adds extra water to the crock pot right be4 shabbos.. cuz i think accordinf 2 halacha the meat has to be cooked be4 shabbos.. correct me if im wrong peeps!! but ya u cud do it in a crock pot or in a pot on the stove on a blech.. and whats a dutch oven? sounds cool!! theres r a lil tricky halachos tho.. like u gotta keep holding the crock pot and someone else has to dish it out quick!! cuz its rlly hot..
Cool, I’ll have to try it 🙂
A Dutch oven is just a large pot.
We eat vegetarian chulent and kishka sometimes, but the only thing healthier about that is less cholesterol, but it has more carbs. It still uses booze, a healthy amount of oil (albeit good-for-you oil), but it’s heavy on processed fake meats.
takamamash, the processed fake meat is likely from tofu
tofu is from soy
rov soy, thanks to Dows and Monsantos of the world, is gmo.
And Friday night, is when the spices and additives (really important in veggie chulent) are at their peak flavor.
takahmamesh-
boy u make us sound like pigs.. the point is u just eat normally by the meal then 3 hours later have half a bowl of chulent..
Vegetarian cholent does not have to have processed fake meat, or alcohol, or tons of oil. I make it with vegetarian baked beans, barley, potatoes, fancy mustard, BBQ sauce, seasoning, and pareve kishka.
Miss Purple, “peeps” has not answered your question so I will. Hope that’s ok. Yes, according to halacha the meat has to be cooked before Shabbos. Not totally cooked but more than half cooked and edible (exact amount of “cooked” can vary and this is Hilchos Shabbos we’re talking about, so it doesn’t have to be cooked to a super soft falling off the bone doneness, but it should be cooked.) This does not apply only to the meat; it’s any food you”ll be leaving to cook on the blech. So if you are suddenly inspired to add half a cup of beans or a raw potato to the chulnt on your way to light candles- Don’t!
I make a really good chili for shabbos also- onions, green peppers, tomatoes, garlic, Morningstar crumbles, veggie chorizo, beans, jalapeno, chipotle, unsweetened cocoa powder, cilantro, brown sugar, Dos Equis, and a bunch of spices. Goes well with corn chips and with sour cream, pico de gallo, and cheddar cheese (I hold that cheese could be melted on shabbat as long as it is not done at yad soledet bo, which is how Hakham Ovadia Yosef holds regarding melting cheese on shabbat). While I enjoy Jameson with my chulent, tequila goes well with the chili/Mexican chulent.
Where can you find kosher vegetarian chorizo?
I see it all the time with a KSA hechsher- Soyrizo brand. Lightlife also has a hechsher, and both are strictly parve. I’ve purchased it at ShopRite in Brooklyn, Shaw’s and Hannaford’s in the Boston area, and at Whole Foods in the city.

toda rabs!!
rebdoniel-
omg u cook soo gourmet!! mayb when im all grown up thats what ill cook.. bt isnt chilli w ground meat?? cuz that wudnt go so dandy w cheese, now wud it?
Miss Purple, you are sweet!
I realize there is a certain member of the grammar police wishing to have your form of English banned from the CR. But for my part, I’m touched. I don’t think anybody ever told me “toda rabs” before!
Bevakasha!
aww u made my day!! esp w wiy and haifa being oh so sweet abt it…
The Purple One,
Yes I do like to cook gourmet. I generally use treif recipes and adapt them for kosher cooking.
I use a product in a lot of my dishes called Morningstar Farms meatless crumbles. They are a vegetarian ground meat substitute made from soy and are certified OK-Dairy.
Aside from chili, I make Swedish meatballs, “Beef” Stroganoff, Lasagna/Baked Ziti, American Chop Suey (a New England dish), Shepherd’s Pie, and many other dishes with the crumbles.
rebdoniel-
wow u hav got some patience there!! u shud open up a restaurunt!! not kiddin..
takahmamesh-
cool i never heard of it.. thanx 4 informing me mayb ill use it one day.. 😉
rebdoniel
Why would you use a dairy meat substitute instead of meat?!
if hes using it with cheese or milk??
takahmamash- todes is old?? I’m not old, am i?? Maybe i am… Shucks
Fake meat tastes a lot better than fake cheese, hence my copious use of meat substitutes (which are really hezkat halavi, not dairy, as the OK labels them, in actuality).
takahmamash- it’s still in use today! 🙂
Beer gives a good flavor
