Growing up in North Jersey, the pizza was always great– better than anywhere else I’ve been. And good deli was always just around the corner– you can’t get a decent bagel, even, in SE Connecticut.
But combining the two? For one thing, none of my preferred toppings would be kosher.
My wife won’t let me get pizza when we go down to Jersey: she says it’s too greasy. I say, when you pick it up, the grease is supposed to run down the back of your hand.
All I know of South Jersey cuisine is cheesesteaks on the shore, and the Pineys, who judging by my acquaintances feast on road-kill.
Ira thinks the intent of the law makes sense. But the actual intent of the law (and of literally tens of thousands of regulations from the federal alphabet soup) is to force innocent people to try to prove they are not guilty. Quick, Ira; prove to me you haven’t violated a law today. Can’t do it, eh?
It is one thing to prosecute someone who commits an actual crime. But regulations like this just work to make criminals out of innocent people.
If the only Kosher food you have had tasted like cardboard then I am very sorry for you. I have visited wonderful Kosher restaurants where the food was every bit as flavorful, inventive, and palate pleasing as that of any Traif restaurant.
My family keeps Kosher. We make tacos for dinner and enjoy them very much. We also make Chicken Marsala, Stir Fry Chicken, Stir Fry Beef, Pasta, and many more “ethnic” dishes. I can assure you that not a one of them tastes like cardboard.
Try a good Kosher restaurant and find out how tasty Kosher really can be.

I don’t know. While taken to extremes, I suppose the law could get ridiculous. However, I think the intent behind it makes a lot of sense.
