“Don’t worry, we have kosher options!”
The kosher options: water. With ice if you’re feeling adventurous.
If you keep kosher, you’ve definitely had this conversation at least once.
Restaurant: “Of course we have kosher food!”
Me: “Oh amazing, what do you have?”
Restaurant: “Salad!”
Me: “Is it prepared separately?”
Restaurant: “…”
Me: “Are the ingredients kosher?”
Restaurant: “…”
Restaurant: “Would you like some water?”
And suddenly we’re back to square one.
Traveling while keeping kosher is basically a full-time detective job. You can spend three hours researching kosher restaurants, Chabad houses, Jewish communities, and kosher grocery stores before even deciding where you’re going on vacation.
Meanwhile, your non-Jewish friends are choosing restaurants based on the menu.
We’re choosing destinations based on whether we can eat anything other than bananas.
What’s the most ridiculous “kosher option” a restaurant has ever offered you?
Because someone out there has definitely been offered bacon-free bacon.
