The deli is also closed on Shabbat, unlike most non-Glatt Kosher delis, and all meat is bought from the most Orthodox suppliers (ie, NOT Hebrew National).</i><br /><br />I now have an idea of why it might have failed. Adherence to these rules certainly wasn't cheap.<br /><br />PeterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-32556184833423020622012-11-26T13:19:14.377-08:002012-11-26T13:19:14.377-08:00My mother lived in the Netherland Gardens right ab...My mother lived in the Netherland Gardens right above the mall. I brought her many a chopped liver sandwich from Skyview. My daughter now works up the street from Liebmann's so I go there now.<br />It saddens me to see these places close. New York was famous for their Jewish Deli's especially the Bronx.Old Pathfinderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03830909963735290070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-35252009271233407732012-11-26T06:15:23.173-08:002012-11-26T06:15:23.173-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Brooks of Sheffieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18297071358029060908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-88950319908285659052012-11-26T06:15:22.844-08:002012-11-26T06:15:22.844-08:00I was not saying that "glatt" actually t...I was not saying that "glatt" actually translates to "super strict." I was just offering a simplified explanation, indicating that the strictures guiding glatt kosher certification are more rigid. Which your explanation indicates.

Without getting too much into the endless minutiae of Jewish dietary laws and politics, glatt, which means smooth, refers to the unblemished lungs of a slaughtered cow. In order to be considered kosher a cow must not have any cysts, nodules etc, but the lungs are exempt from this. Glatt kosher beef means that even the lungs are without blemish. <br /><br />Nowadays Glatt kosher is a label that gets attached to all manner of food, but in reality unless it applies to beef it is without meaning and has become a religious bludgeon to denote that one is a more observant Jew. And of course it allows merchants to jack up the price of already more expensive items.Toni Kaminshttp://www.tonikamins.comnoreply@blogger.com
