[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to Seder dinners in my Catholic Church growing up.   Church was huge part of community, and there were always various types of dinners in the church hall, and a passover seder was one of them.  It was interesting.  I Liked the [b]mint jelly.[/b]   Maybe it only happened a few times, and maybe it was a learning/cultural exploration thing, but it definitely happened.  [/quote]

I’m sorry, what? — a Jew [/quote]

lol. Its that not a thing?  you eat mint jelly with lamb?   I remember my mom telling me you ate mint jelly with lamb, and we never had lamb at home (literally never) so no mint jelly.  I remember the matzoh wasn't half bad with some of the mint jelly spread on it.

We must have only done it once or twice whenI was longer as I don't have too many memories, but we did have the books and the prayer, and our priest would explain what each thing meantasa we went along and different people had speaking roles.

I grew up in a small southern town with a small percentage of Catholics.  There was one Jewish family in town.  I think my church did the best they could with what they had and good for them for trying a little cultural diversity and religious diversity?  [/quote]

Uh, it's me with the mint jelly again. I replied before I realized it had become a thing.  Sorry not trying to start anything here.  The intent was definitely to be in solidarity with our brothers and sisters of the Old Testament.  My church was pretty progressive, all things considered.  The Catholic Church was the only church in small southern town where blacks and whites worshipped together.

We eat ham for Easter, btw.  Lamb was definitely considered exotic in my southern town in the late 70s.  In my memory, I literally did not like any of the food served - except that mint jelly.  :)

But yeah, mint jelly is about as goyishe naches as it comes.[/quote]
