Happy Rosh Hashanah! Holiday Eats from The Jew & The Carrot

2008_09_30-Rosh.jpgShana tovah umetukah! Today is Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. We offer the longer blessing because we love the meaning for cooks and eaters: a good and sweet year. On Rosh Hashanah observant Jews will be serving apples, honey, sweet challah, pomegranates, and other new fruits to symbolize a sweet new year.

For more good eating and Rosh Hashanah coverage, we turned to our friends over at The Jew and The Carrot. Here are our favorite posts from their week of sweetness; vegan alternatives to honey, beautiful honey pots, oranges on the Seder plate, meaty advice and more below.

 
 

Here are a few of the good pieces from our friends at The Jew and The Carrot.

I'm not saying this to purposely stir up trouble, but how about a post about Eid? Today is the end of Ramadan and a time for families to come together and celebrate (with food none the less!).

As Amandica said, I'd also enjoy a post on the Eid.

As someone who grew up Jewish in a Christian majority town, it makes me happy to see a post on Rosh Hashanah. If you're not Christian, sometimes it feels like it is all about Christmas and Easter. For that reason, it would also make me happy to see a post here about Eid.

I was just going to post the same thing that Amandica and sciencegeek already did. I really appreciate the Rosh Hashanah posts, but Eid would be nice as well.
