Wait… what?
By Kristen | March 20, 2007
This just landed in my inbox: FreshDirect is offering a premade Passover seder plate and $20 gets you a platter, prefilled with all the necessary items.
To wit:
Why schlep all over town? Our seder package includes an attractively blue-scripted white platter full of all the essentials: a cooked lamb shank, a hard-boiled egg, parsley, romaine hearts, our nutty-sweet charoset and fresh horseradish root. Arrives ready to unpack and serve. Please note: This platter is not certified kosher.
I mean, I’m just a boring old shiksa, but isn’t that kosher thing kind of, I dunno, sort of important?
On an unrelated note, I can’t believe Shake Shack has been open for the season since yesterday and I still haven’t had a Shack Burger yet.

Hello! Yeah, I thought I remembered you saying you were also fond of the Shack.

how handy…and as a shiksa married to a nice jewish boy, unless the family keeps kosher (and most it seems, don’t) the kosherness is besides the point. what i like is the drinking a glass of wine for each question part.

I will never understand the who keeps kosher and when thing. I mean, if you’re selling a seder plate, wouldn’t it make sense to at least TRY and make it kosher?
The last Passover seder we had with my husband’s family was THIS long ago:
My favorite part was always discussing the grody things God did while at the dinner table. Like, “ooh, lice! and boils! who’s hungry?’

Well have you seen this:

And I agree, you’d think it would be kosher, esp. in NYC, way to cut down your business.

But you lose so much!
Making the charoset is so much fun, and a great way to get kids involved in the prep.
How difficult is it to tear some parsley or make salt water?
The egg needs to be more than just boiled anyway. First you boil it, then you roast it over an open flame.
Seems like a waste of $20 to me.
Oh, and for Passover, pretty much everybody keeps kosher. Even my family who don’t the rest of the year, do for Pesach.

Rachel: Oh, but have you seen the Passover Plague Puppets?
Rebecca: Oh, yeah, I forgot the egg needs to be roasted too. Man… FreshDirect, WTF?!

Seems like they missed something just slightly important. Anything to make a buck… Maybe they are hoping people won’t see the fine print?

At my first seder, my ex-sil was trying to get her daughter away from the table for a diaper change. However her daughter wanted her sippy cup and wouldn’t leave the table.
So in the middle of everything, my ex-sil screams ” Dylan leave the juice NOW” and one of the older adults who had a hearing aid says “WHAT?! GET AWAY FROM THE JEWS! WHAT SHE MARRIES A PROTESTANT BOY AND SHE HATES THE JEWS ALL OF A SUDDEN?!?”
