Question
Hello, I would like to know the definition of "fit for a king's table." For example, very dry rice is not fit for a king's table, but regular rice is. Or another example: potatoes are fit, but potato chips are not... Should we consider the dish itself or the raw material? Thank you very much.
Answer
Hello
We consider the raw material.
If it is possible to make an important dish from it, it is forbidden. Even if the dish is currently prepared poorly.
