Today's redundancy:

Jewish Synagogue.

*stares at all the poor, unfortunate, lox-hating people*

I'd weep for them, but then they might start eating lox and leaving less for me!

Edit: Incidentally, fun fact, the lox you're likely to buy in the supermarket (smoked salmon) isn't, technically speaking, lox. Lox is salmon cured in a salt brine. Smoked salmon is just, well, smoked salmon. It's still yummy, though.

*blink* people. hate. lox?

but it's a classic! bagel with cream cheese and lox, capers yes; red onions if you can get 'em (otherwise make sure it's on an onion/everything bagel), washed down with a tall glass of orange juice.

i didn't even use to like fish and i still liked my bagels with lox! and lox doesn't smell fishy, at least not if you're refrigerating it properly.

Lox doesn't even really smell. I don't know what they're talking about. It's rather like when Jazzy told me that hummus is gloppy. That's called not well made or slightly bad.

I have my lox with: bagel (duh), tiny bit of butter, cream cheese, onions. No tomatoes or capers. And no orange juice. That's just weird.

I had a problem with capers once...cant stand them ever since.

[ursamajor]

ooh! i forgot the tomatoes. which are necessary, but only if they're fresh and bright. out of season tomatoes just look anemic and depressing.

Lox is an American Jewish thing I guess, because we don't have that stuff over here. It sounds delicious!!

lox, like cholent, brisket and ever shabbat chicken, is one of the gifts of God to the Jewish People.

More lox from you. But it's not really personal to the lox. I don't eat any animals. I do tend to dislike fish more than most meats, because often if someone is eating fish, I can smell it and it makes my food less enjoyable. But lox isn't the smelliest of fish. And there are other meats that do this too. I don't like eating my lovely vegetarian dishes while smelling meat/fish.

[conuly]

For me, you mean?

Yeah, I can understand being vegetarian and not liking lox, or being allergic to fish and not liking lox. Other than that, I don't get it. But I also don't understand people who eat mushrooms, so....

[conuly]

Ethnice is a great new coinage, though.

[conuly]

It's associated with Jews from Eastern Europe, actually. The thing is, salmon was much cheaper here than in the old world, so that it became more popular over time.

Uh yes.... my fingers have a mind of their own... which is good, as the rest of me doesn't. But sometimes, it's just not enough.

I had an embarassing typo recently... I forget what Iw as writing, but it was something like, I needed to write the word "gun" and I had to erase the 'k' at the end.

[conuly]

I can't type reference anymore. It keeps coming up as referenced. And I know whose fault that is.

Don't forget to differentiate between Northwest-style smoked salmon (hot-smoked, dry texture, fully cooked) and Scottish-style smoked salmon (the cold-smoked wet stuff you're describing above).

Northwest-style smoked salmon is almost impossible to slice. It crumbles.

Hmm, it must be a kashrut (kosherness) issue then. *scratches head* if something is not eaten locally, it's because we just can't get the ingredients. Hungarian Jewish life in 2005, yay.

Or maybe it came from Poland and/or Ukraine and/or Russia to the US, circled around Hungary with us being left out...?
