- .RH MOD.RECIPES-SOURCE SABBATH-STEW M "20 May 86" 1986
- .RZ "SHABBOS-CHOULNT" "European Jewish traditional sabbath stew"
- This is a food that religious Jewish people eat on Saturday afternoon.
- Religious people do not cook on Saturday, so this food must be put on
- the stove on Friday, before sunset. It then cooks overnight,
- filling the house with a delicious aroma, until after services
- Saturday afternoon.
- \fIShabbos\fR means ``Saturday'' in Hebrew,
- and \fIchoulnt\fR means ``a mishmosh'' in Yiddish.
- (\fIchoulnt\fR in fact comes originally from the French
- \fIchaud lent\fR which means ``warm slowly'')
- The amount of each ingredient depends on what taste one likes, how
- much is available, and the tradition handed down by one's parents
- or Rebbitzin (Rabbi's wife).
