but has already taken the lead in the sale of whitefish ... going through 1,000 pounds a week ... Amazing! NONE OF THE usual traditional kosher Jewish food is on the menu at Matt Prentice's new Milk & Honey restaurant that recently opened at the Jewish Community Center in West Bloomfield. Instead are creative vegetarian and fish dishes influenced by cuisines of the world ... wild mushroom cas- soulet, sea bass with pistachio and "painted" with papaya and blackber- ry sauces, corn and fingerling potato chowder with poblano salsa, etc. Although kosher restaurants are many times expensive because kosher products seem to cost more, most of the items on Milk & Honey's lunch menu are $6.95 ... At dinner, the most expensive item is Ahi Tuna with leek and artichoke fondue, celery- whipped potatoes and ginger carrot sauce at $19.95 ... Potato-crusted whitefish, tomato basil beurre blanc and fresh seasonal vegetables is $14.95 ... Eggplant and portabella mushroom lasagna with goat cheese, tomato, root vegetables and portabel- la Bolognese, served with mesclun salad, is $11.95. A KOSHER PASSOVER barbecue buffet? ...

As Moses and the children of Israel were cro s sing through the parted Red Sea, he began to hear cries of how thirsty they were after walking so far. Unfortunately, the water was salty and not drinkable ... Miraculously, a fish appeared from the wall of water and told Moses that she and her fami- ly heard the pleas of the people ... and would remove the salt from the water by passing it through their gills and forcing it out of their mouths ... The water would be fresh like a fountain from which the Israelites could drink as they walked by. Moses accepted this kindly offer. To remember the miracle of the fish who transformed salt water to fresh water, Moses let it be known that hence forth, the seder to honor the Exodus would always include, "Gill Filter Fish." ❑ 10 Mile at Southfield Road • (248) 559-4230 Extends Best Wishes For A Joyous And Healthy ff4i-J-er}we SAPPORO Japanese Restaurant °An authentic dining adventure with preparation of fresh sushi and top quality, Japanese delights." - FOOD & SPIRITS Qsv JOE AND HELMA BERNARDI AND FAMILY WISH ALL OUR FRIENDS A VERY HAPPY PASSOVER Danny Raskin Enjoy THE FINEST FRESH SUSHI AND AUTHENTIC JAPANESE SPECIALTIES 118 W.
