What's your secret??

Bevvie says,

Kudos!

marymc says,

Don't look down.

Bevvie says,

What's the gefilte fish?

Believe says,

Oh my. You are stronger than I am. I walk quickly passed them in grocery stores.

marymc says,

Fish balls made from a mixture of ground deboned fish, mostly carp or pike, packed in jelly made from fish broth.

Bevvie says,

Thanks, Mary. Don't believe I have ever seen it, and never want to either! (but still kudos on the feature)

Bevvie says,

It's back! Yay!

BrightLight2 says,

Happy Seder!

marymc says,

thanks all. It was heinous, but evidently worth it.

JAD says,

congrats!

mared says,

Congrats on your feature.....Well done, I'm going to have to look-up gefilte......

Level1 says,

Congratulations on the feature! Keep it up :-)

Believe says,

Oh there it is again!! Congrats on lasting beyond a moment.

Steve__Anthony says,

Nice job Mary.

RedStickWriter says,

I did not know what it is and had to look it up on Wikipedia. I'm a seafood lovin' guy from Louisiana, but I'm afraid I'd have to be in another room to avoid gagging. Some people feel the same way about the crawfish loved by my people. I should mention that I don't like those salty little minnows on my pizza. Good memoir, bad menu.

L2L3 says,

Good job! On two counts:]

marymc says,

Thanks everyone. It's the only part of hubby's heritage I just can NOT embrace. Of course, my people are known for haggas and head cheese (not that I partake in those either).

RaisedByWolves says,

Lox of luck!

marymc says,

Oy!

SeaGlass says,

Gag.

Hiloboy says,

Sadly enough- I would probably eat and like it. I live on an island- seafood is part of my life. I hope I can find some..just to try it and I'll get back to you on my experience.

alphapapa says,

I'll passover those fish balls also.

marymc says,

Hiloboy, Hawaii is SUCH a wonderful smorgasbord of fresh seafood! Why on earth would you want to try something that has been preserved in jelly????

Contemplative says,

The thought just makes me nauseated. No anchovies, sardines, or herring either. Dad tries to occasionally sneak them into his half of pizza but I always smell something fishy. Ewww! Some people love them, more the merrier.

marymc says,

Thanks notyouraveragegrandma! And congrats on you driving accomplishment! That is awesome.
