Nothing for lunch – rush into the Hypermarket, pick up a (small and somewhat miserable) kosher roast chicken for R99, noting that the price per kg is R102. Sigh – the price of being kosher.

Drive home – stop at the Norwood Spar for fresh fruit. Out of curiosity I price the cost of non-kosher roast chickens, healthy and rotund. Price per kg, R49,99.

‘Kosher food, these days, is for people with the financial means. Ordinary folk, pensioners, newly marrieds for example, would be hard-pressed to \”go kosher\”, even crazy when comparing costs with non-kosher goods. As for Pesach – oy vey!’

‘It’s over a year now since our Chief Rabbi boldly announced his \”Brozin Investigation\”. Where is the report?
i have written to the Chief Rabbi but did not receive a response, not even an acknowledgement of receipt.
A big noise was made about this new initiative. Now let’s see the results.
we demand to see the report.

‘Hear hear Basil, but you can whistle till you’re blue in the face before you see that report. It didn’t show what they hoped it would, so it gets buried along with so much else.’
