When Is A Bagel
Not A Bagel?
When it's a Pesach bagel full of fat.
T
ELIZABETH APPLEBAUM ASSOCIATE EDITOR
he mere mention of the
word "butter" was enough
to make this crowd groan.
Holding some pancake
mix in that familiar dazzling
green-and-orange Manischewitz
"this can only be Passover" box,
Linda Orbach assured the
Weight Watchers group that,
with just a little applesauce in-
stead of oil, the pancakes could
be not only kosher for Passover
but healthy.
But not if you don't do the sen-
sible thing and use all-fruit jam
instead of following the package
directions, which call for topping
the pancakes with heaping globs
of sticky, sweet syrup and table-
spoon after tablespoon of butter.
One woman in the audience
shuddered at the very thought.
Last week, Weight Watchers
group leader Linda Orbach host-
ed a free program on how to pre-
pare scrumptious Pesach dishes
that won't leave you feeling like
a 2-ton plateful of matzah brei.
It's trickier than might at first
appear. Take the bagel, for ex-
ample.
The ordinary bagel contains
about 1 gram of fat. Sure, those
Passover bagel mixes look tempt-
ing, but dieter beware: they con-
tain 12 grams of fat. Twelve
grams? That's as much as some
candy bars. Shocking.
Mrs. Orbach offered calcula-
tions of fat content in other Pe-
sach foods, and it's not pleasant.
One cup of charoset contains 9
grams of fat, and 1 tablespoon of
the ubiquitous schmaltz has 13.
"And who ever used just one ta-
blespoon of schmaltz?" she said.
The good news is that 3/4 of a
piece of matzah has just 1 gram
of fat, so you could eat your fill of
the stuff— imagine downing 10
pieces of matzah in one sitting—
practically guilt-free! What a
thrilling possibility.
But don't think you can ex-
pand the repertoire and include
whole-wheat matzah. That has 4
grams of fat apiece, while egg and
onion could prove devastating not
only to a potential romance but
to any sensible dieter. One piece
of egg-and-onion matzah equals
3 grams of fat.
"But just what is this fat, any-
way?" those "I'll just grab an Al-
mond Joy for breakfast" types
might ask.
Mrs. Orbach had the answer.
During the meeting, she held up
a large yellow-streaked-with-red
plastic glob which looked like and
equaled 3/4 pound of fat. And
don't just imagine it on your hips
or stomach, she said. Placing it
up to her now-slender face (she
lost 61 pounds on Weight Watch-
ers), Mrs. Orbach told the audi-
ence to envision that hideous
mass right there on their chins.
Mrs. Orbach's research on the
subject of low-fat Pesach food was
intense. "I spent 10 minutes star-
ing at the gefilte-fish aisle," she
said. There, she saw whitefish,
whitefish and pike, gefilte fish,
fish in broth, fish in gel, fish with
olives and fish with vegetables,
to name a few. And then there
are the different brands, for cry-
ing out loud. Her findings suggest
the best bet is Manischewitz all-
whitefish in liquid broth.
New Pesach treats on the shelf
this year include "Light and
Tasty Eggs," an egg substitute
with no fat; 99 percent fat-free
crackers (but be warned: they do
contain calories); fat-free salad
dressing; fat-free cooking spray;
cups of soup with 1 or 2 grams of
fat each; and sugar substitute.
There are some succulent fat-free
cereals, too, Mrs. Orbach said.
What a steal at only "$3.50 a
box."
Galloping Gourmet wanna-bes
can try their hand at making reg-
ular recipes lower in fat with
these tips from Mrs. Orbach:
* Replace oil with applesauce.
* Use egg whites instead of
whole eggs. (A tasty, low-fat
matzah brei, for example, can be
made using matzah, egg whites
and cinnamon, all prepared in a
pan sprayed with fat-free cook-
ing spray. Top with applesauce
or light syrup.)
* Minimize fat content in
charoset either by cutting in half
the amount of nuts used (then
adding some almond or walnut
flavoring) or eliminating the nuts
altogether and simply using the
flavoring. (One-quarter cup of
walnuts contains 20 grams of fat.)
And some tips for eating at the
seder:
* Determine beforehand how
much you will eat.
* Don't arrive hungry. Drink
low-fat milk or tomato juice first.
* Bring your own low-fat dish.
* Avoid "table hypnosis," the
compelling urge to take from
every single dish that's passed
around the table, guest to guest,
in a kind of non-ending feeding
frenzy. Grab a heaping serving
from everything and soon you'll
realize, "I took enough food to
