That sprung to mind actually.

Mad people those Mormons. I've had a few of them turn-up on my doorsteep from time to time. Never let them in though. I'd only offer them a cup of tea, which I guess wouldn't go down well.

They occasionally spring up in my country as well. I used to meet quite frequently Mormon missionaries Zagreb, who sold the examples of the "Book of Mormom" in the street and preached their religion to passers-by.

They always provide the Book of Mormon in the native language of the country in which they are doing their missionary work. Every adult male Mormom must perform at least some missionary work abroad. They learn intensively language of the country to which they are destined to be sent.

You can give them Ovaltine, that not forbidden for them. Keep some around the house just in case.

Yes, if they are not allowed to drink neither tea nor coffee, what's left?

Slivovitz!

Maybe, due to their sympathy for Judaism they are allowed to drink Kosher Slivovitz.

Oh, Ovaltine. I quite like that myself.

Come to think of it, I've never understood their deal with the caffine in coffees and teas, as I'm pretty sure they're allowed soft drinks, chocolate and the like.

I've had that one. I liked it and didn't even know it was kosher. To be honest I have no idea how alcohol can be kosher or un-kosher. Maybe they think the the barrels of regular alcohol are sometimes pushed into the cellar by trained pigs?

I think they prohibit stimulants, so caffeine is out. Here's something I found:

It's not just about not eating pork, Jews have lots of alimentary regulations, both as to how prepare a meal and as to what should and what shouldn't be consumed. So there are probably some special regulations about making alcoholic beverages.

These guys here?



I've never known whether they are mormons, jehova's witnesses, or whatever else. To me they look plain American idiots.

[Gavril]

Kosher alcohol is made from crops (or whatever the particular alcohol is made from) that has been harvested by faithful Jewish males, and grown on a field that has been subject to Kosher rules for four years, i.e. only one type of crops per field, the field is left fallow every seventh year, etc., and a certain amount of the alcohol is spilled on the ground as a sacrifice to the Temple in Jerusalem. There are probably more rules than that, but that's what I could remember.

They look like typical Mormon missionaries.

I remember in Toulouse two of those guys riding by me on bikes and I heard one say to the other "If Brother Robert knew you threw all those pamphlets down the sewer he'd kill you!"

They are such a complicated, unhappy people. For me "everything in nature is beautiful" or in this case "everything in the bar is kosher".
