Biblical gourmands

While reading a bit of Exodus, I asked the kids (4 & 6) what they'd like manna to taste like (rabbinic lore has it that manna tasted like whatever the taster wanted).

4: Applesauce and ketchup.

6: Gnocchi.

    6: Gnocchi.
    That is some sophisticated taste for a 6 year old! LOL!

    Whoops - I meant apple juice, not that that's any better. What can I tell you? Those are her favorite foods. Reagan would be proud.
