<br>Subject: Reuben sandwich
<br>
<br>On whether a practicing Jew would serve a sandwich combining meat and
<br>cheese, even to non-Jews:
<br>
<br>My paternal grandmother, who grew up in Poland before WW I, told a
<br>story of Gypsies going to a kosher butcher and offering to buy
<br>"trefe".   Nothing said about anything being wrong with selling the
<br>non-kosher parts of animals to Gypsies.  (I suspect the Gypsies
<br>thought a kosher butcher would be likely to sell non-kosher cuts of
<br>meat for lower prices than a Christian butcher would.)
<br>
<br>And I've heard of Jewish pork butchers in New York City.

<br>Whatever you wish for me, may you have twice as much.
