What Are You Eating?
וכן היה רבן שמעון בן גמליאל אומר:
קרביים לאו בשר, ואוכליהם לאו בר אינש!
And so Rabban Shim‘on ben Gamli’eil would say:
Guts are not meat,
and those who eat them are not human!

This is an offal post!
:)
But what is included in the category of gut? Al pi halocho?
I can see chitlins as objectionable, and clearly not 'meat'. Same with digestive organs entirely.
But are liver, kidneys, hearts all included in the 'guts'?
Oh and by the way, E-kvetcher, that pun was offal.
You're welcome.
LOL. for the offal.
According to R' Shtainzaltz/EvenYisrael, 'guts' included hearts, liver, kidneys, etc. — and that their predominance in what's today considered stereotypical traditional Jewish food is the result of them being adopted from being animal food to being poor people's food some time between the end of the Gemara and today.
sorry, i'm an incorrigible punster, please don't incorrige me:)
what's the bracha for haggis, by the way?
Depends on whom you ask.
A Scotsman would opine: "Boruch Ata Adonoi Eloheinu, melech ha olam, oseh ma'aseh vereishis".
This is appropriate whether you intend to eat it or not. More likely not.
I would instead say 'none for me thanks', followed by "Boruch ata Adonoi Eloheinu, melech ha olam, shegemalani kol tov".
I set them up, BOTH knocks them down...
We should take our act on the road!
Rabbosai,
FYI: more offal crap over at the back of the hill. I am weak willed, and could NOT resist doing that offal thing.
I am offal-y sorry.
