Bloomfield • Old Orchard Center 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 BAGEL, page 112
