Chassidim eat bamba. But it's ok because they look heimish. Classic yeshivish. Good stuff.

I started to read and I thought this was going to be a dissertion on Rabbeinu Ephrayim, werewolves and Binyomin.

Alas not. Your post is the usual word salad of different concepts and matters. Gedolei torah, ta'amei hamitzvos, full time torah study and hashgocho all in one big cholent.

Talking of cholent and kigel. When I was young they were 'special' shabbos fooods. Now 'bnei torah' fress them at every opportunity. Real 'bnei torah' these spiritual people are. Not my torah, but hey, they look heimish so its okay. If a besruggied would fress like that 'look at how megusham these modox are" would be the response. These holy spiritual beings can't learn late at night unless cholunt is an offer. Sad really.

Wow, you must be fun to be around. Coming out against cholent and kugel now, huh? What's your next target, herring and kichel? I guess you want us to starve?

I dunno. You were the one or maybe it was the other chap who brought 'pas b'melech tochel' as overriding other ma'morei chazal about earning a descent living and all that goes with it.....

Yeah, Test is really incredible. The next Ernest Hemingway. He should audition for The New Yorker. I propose his first column be on the topic, "Bamba Fressing, Classic Yeshivish, and Looking Heimish - by Stodgy Bloke"

Mmmm... I think he would taste scrumptious. Much better than bamba.
