have you tried pizzas with chocolate???

Ive actually asked Kurma Das (ACBSP) if we can use cheeses like mozzarella or cheddar and stuff. He said as long as its kosher, its fine, but they use this culture which is a type of bacteria that helps make the flavor. There are other milk products that use the stuff, so I suppose its okay. I think very "aged" cheddar is not aloud though, but Im not sure.

Misunderstanding - Kosher does not mean vegetarian. Kosher means blessed by a Rabi. So if you see the word kosher on a label or someone says dont worry its kosher - question the ingredients.

Kosher does not mix meat and dairy. Right? So how could kosher cheese contain slaughter products?

I guess they could maybe find a way, but I cant imagine how.

I thought it was just beef and dairy products.

Anyway, I used the term kosher because it also means proper or legitimate. For us that would mean vegetarian.

Mayapur is the spiritual world, isnt it?

"Mayapur is the spiritual world, isnt it?"

sitapati Prabhu, I hate to interrupt your personal extasis, but we might be still stepping and living in and around the fine layers of maya that cover the dhama. So be careful.

There are temples that still use white sugar (yes, the type that is whitened with bones) to make the maha sweets. "Where" and "for what" they use it is not as important as "what" they use.

On a similar topic, one time there was a question to Srila Prabhupada about eating the rotten maha-prasadam as it is spiritual. He said "The Gosvamis could do it, you will get sick" not the exact words, but it is in the vedabase somewhere.

but there is an atm there too...

:)

... and im in mayapur, too. and im really, really sure im not _in_ the spiritual world, somewhere close by at best. not everything in mayapur, west bengal, is the spiritual world, unfortunately.

I dont think pizza is allright. In my experience, pizza intensely provokes rajas and tamas, even if it is prepared from proper vegetarian ingredients. The baked combination of flour (esp. white flour), tomatoes, cheese, and to make matters worse, olives, appears to be just the trigger.
Similar goes for lasagne and pasta.

You should eat an itallian roti with good cheese sabji on it, baked... (it is called pizza).

I am truly sorry that you all do not appreciate ,chocolate,pizza,pasta ,chips,olives and the endless varieties of cheese which are vegetarian.Having grown up in the old fashioned iskcon of too much ghee and opulent prasadam and endless feasts, I hope krishna puts all of you next to rasa108 in some truly sterile environment which you all deserve .....You all seem to have lost the truly wonderful spontaneity which acompanys devotional service.

Nope, it is because your wife is a christian girl... You just like anything Itallian do you;-) Dont be sorry, nobody in their right mind would have given Prabhupada pizza in Vrindavana...he liked kachoris!
