Health: Enough about chocolate...lets tallk about...

have you tried pizzas with chocolate???

Kyros:I've actually asked Kurma Das (ACBSP) if we can use cheeses like mozzarella or cheddar and stuff. He said as long as it's kosher, it's fine, but they use this culture which is a type of bacteria that helps make the flavor. There are other milk products that use the stuff, so I suppose it's okay. I think very "aged" cheddar is not aloud though, but I'm not sure.

Misunderstanding - Kosher does not mean vegetarian. Kosher means blessed by a Rabi. So if you see the word kosher on a label or someone says don't worry it's kosher - question the ingredients.

I thought it was just beef and dairy products.

Anyway, I used the term kosher because it also means proper or legitimate. For us that would mean vegetarian.

"Mayapur is the spiritual world, isn't it?"

sitapati Prabhu, I hate to interrupt your personal extasis, but we might be still stepping and living in and around the fine layers of maya that cover the dhama. So be careful.

There are temples that still use white sugar (yes, the type that is whitened with bones) to make the maha sweets. "Where" and "for what" they use it is not as important as "what" they use.

On a similar topic, one time there was a question to Srila Prabhupada about eating the rotten maha-prasadam as it is spiritual. He said "The Gosvamis could do it, you will get sick" not the exact words, but it is in the vedabase somewhere.

... and i'm in mayapur, too. and i'm really, really sure i'm not _in_ the spiritual world, somewhere close by at best. not everything in mayapur, west bengal, is the spiritual world, unfortunately.

You should eat an itallian roti with good cheese sabji on it, baked... (it is called pizza).

sri_govinda_das:I am truly sorry that you all do not appreciate ,chocolate,pizza,pasta ,chips,olives and the endless varieties of cheese which are vegetarian.

Nope, it is because your wife is a christian girl... You just like anything Itallian do you;-) Don't be sorry, nobody in their right mind would have given Prabhupada pizza in Vrindavana...he liked kachoris!

sri_govinda_das:I am truly sorry that you all do not appreciate ,chocolate,pizza,pasta ,chips,olives and the endless varieties of cheese which are vegetarian.Having grown up in the old fashioned iskcon of too much ghee and opulent prasadam and endless feasts, I hope krishna puts all of you next to rasa108 in some truly sterile environment which you all deserve .....You all seem to have lost the truly wonderful spontaneity which acompanys devotional service.

^^Is this devotee humor?

Well yeeees..... it was not a serious question from the start (maybe read it again...)

race horse.... spiritual life
