OU does not certify things as dairy equipment anymore. As such, the soymilk he served after the meal (as I'm gleaning from your post) may have well been parve and completely muttar to serve you after the meal.<br /><br />It always annoys me to see people judging others, especially without knowing the facts.

What I want is for Rav Ralberg to openly confront the rumors and either explain them or refute them; this whole "being quiet thing" and non-confrontational approach is a turn-off for me, and probably the whole orthodox community.Zoe Strickmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07940789852735669214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10890885.post-14719131320123352422008-10-27T09:22:00.000-04:002008-10-27T09:22:00.000-04:00What is the difference between a bag of dairy chip...What is the difference between a bag of dairy chips with an unreliable hechsher and a cheese with an unreliable hechsher?

(Probably wrong.)<BR/><BR/>I'm not familiar with the hechure, but I usually look it up on the web before buying food with a hechure I'm not familiar with. My barometer is that if the hechure is an orthodox hechure, I'll eat it. Conservative, no. Reform, definitely not.<BR/><BR/>When it comes to meats, we stick to Chassidishe hechures, and if we can't find those, when eating out, we'll eat Glatt. As for other types of meats (the part of the conversation we should avoid but I'm including anyway), as Lubavichers there are certain types of meat we don't eat because of what happened when a bunch of Lubavichers were beat up by another group of Jews and when the Lubavicher Rebbe asked their Rebbe to apologize, he wouldn't, and so goes the story... ;)<BR/><BR/>So that was the long answer to your question. The short answer: I don't know that hechure.Zoe Strickmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07940789852735669214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10890885.post-82301803005969387012008-10-24T13:46:00.000-04:002008-10-24T13:46:00.000-04:00I think pretty much all communities say that Trian...I think pretty much all communities say that Triangle-K is fine for items which don't need a hechsher. <BR/><BR/>Just a random question... would you eat tablet-K outside of the home?Ahuvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12313911386166259760noreply@blogger.com
