It's easy to make them non kosher, trust me :-) For example in case they used E120

Which is an additive mostly to find in anything, to my resentment I have to say.
In case You got a package there should be a little K in a circle on it :-) Or You can google if they are kosher if You know the name.

But usually food with hebrew inscriptions use to be kosher, for example I can find some Corny bars in CZ which are kosher (and some are not - depends on the things inside it and also where it is coming from).

I see! Kaki, that tells me something already!

I see, Kris.

Well, I can check about the circled K tomorrow. The sweets were a little something for my team, so they're in the office. I do remember that they contain lactic acid, though, which would be an important information if were to eat kosher. But there's no carmine in there, definitely. Which is a nasty trap, anyway - why do they have to put dead animals even into sweets?

I can't even buy candy without checking the ingredients.

I called them "Sharon fruits" because they were of a variety I've rarely seen before. Regular kakis are very yummy already... these are smaller, their shape more compact (not as high, and almost square). Their colour is more intense and their sweetness makes sugar cubes pale with envy.

Cheers!

Might be a bit too sweet for me then

But I will have to go for something to the shop today so I can check if they have some exotic fruit (most likely not on Sunday and in this place).

Markus · « **Reply #503 on:** November 12, 2012, 06:42:19 pm »

Mmmhhh... no kosher-certificate on the sweets.

And the kakis are all eaten, but I've just had a pomegranate.

What a mess, but worth the effort!

Cheers!

Hm :-) usually kosher certificate means that the food is of the best ... but it depends how you look at it.

I am enjoying Cranberry juice. One of my favourites.

I got the kaki/persimmon/sharon fruit today, so I will finally try :-) Haha, it's funny - another of things I am trying for the first time in my life - how often you can say that?

Markus · « **Reply #506 on:** November 15, 2012, 06:24:50 pm »

Hopefully every day.

Let me know how you like them! I'm having some every day now; I'm really fond of them.

Cheers!

I feel like having coffee.. just had my Sunday lunch at my parents: cauliflower cream soup, steamed sprouts, mashed potatoes

Markus · « **Reply #510 on:** November 25, 2012, 01:42:50 pm »

Oh, doesn't that sound yummy?

Something for Markus

Markus · « **Reply #512 on:** December 17, 2012, 08:18:19 pm »

That's a good one, Kris!

Did you really get some hoshigaki? I mean, they must consist of 120% sugar (plus another 25% carotenes).

Seriously, I can imagine how incredibly they must be.

Cheers!

Markus

Persephone · « **Reply #513 on:** December 17, 2012, 08:34:42 pm »

No :-) I just met it on facebook on Japanese pages I follow and I liked that idea!

Markus · « **Reply #514 on:** December 17, 2012, 08:44:04 pm »

Yeah, that must be very yummy. Thank you for showing this to me! BTW, I've just had two fresh ones.

But it's getting harder to find good ones; their season must be approaching its end.

Cheers!

We are munching popcorn with my son.

Markus · « **Reply #516 on:** March 04, 2013, 04:38:41 pm »

Awww, that must be fun!

I had carrot slices with orange zests, onion rings and chilli powder today. Ginger would fit in well, but even without that it was yummy.

Cheers!

Some kind of wholegrain - multigrain pastry, half of it with salted margarine (my favourite Danish Lurpak) and eidam cheese. Second half with DM vegetable spread Tomato-Basilikum (my favourite

), radish and avocado.

Markus · « **Reply #518 on:** May 18, 2013, 10:12:19 pm »

Sounds very healthy. Also sounds like food I would like.

Do you like it?

Persephone · « **Reply #519 on:** May 18, 2013, 10:49:00 pm »

Yeah

Just the avocado was a bit too old so not very tasty. Next I'll try to pick a better piece.
