Parshah Behaalotecha: Better Than Golden Corral and Ryan’s Steakhouse Combined!

May 22, 2013 by Patrick Beaulier

Chinese_buffet2

Buffets in general are just sleazy. Think about it: you’re eating piles and piles of cheap food while kids with sticky hands run around screaming and people with less than ideal hygiene sneeze, cough and manhandle the salad bar. That’s assuming you live in an industrialized nation where such a thing as a buffet could exist. Most of the world doesn’t work that way.

The first buffet in recorded history is in Parshah Behaalotecha, and it seems that quail was the “haute cuisine” of the ancient Hebrews. But beware: having abundance doesn’t mean jack if you’re on the wrong side of God.
