Regardless, it's pretty clear that whether a food is Kosher doesn't much matter to Abby and her family. Which is fine, some Jewish people don't keep Kosher. It surprises me that it's not mentioned in a BSC book, because so often they have all these little tidbits about different people's lives.<br /><br />And yes, I was also happy that Abby at least tried to be honest with Ross, even if he didn't get it at first.SJSiffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00996362396265436534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9214193336996953667.post-83161661432763870442013-05-06T22:37:44.986-07:002013-05-06T22:37:44.986-07:00I liked that Abby realized she wasn't into Ros...I liked that Abby realized she wasn't into Ross Brown more then just a friend and didn't lead him on.

She eats non-kosher pizza with the other girls, is allergic to shellfish (which are not kosher, so she ought not to know she's allergic), and there's never any mention of her turning down any of Claudia's candy (which, granted, may mostly be kosher anyway). But it sounds like the Stevensons are really only "culturally Jewish", so they may just like to eat at kosher delis. I don't know. I always thought the books would have been more interesting if Abby had been religious.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9214193336996953667.post-11357291581960046682013-05-05T15:25:27.047-07:002013-05-05T15:25:27.047-07:00Ah, interesting!

The deli is kosher but that doesn't mean Abby and her family are. If you want a good Ruben sandwich around these parts, you have to go to a Kosher deli.Alycianoreply@blogger.com
