Those things, because they combine meat and dairy/egg products, are of course strictly off limits.

The recipee of beef-stroganoff was a little revised not to include anything of dairy products
Tasty:)

You can eat egg and meat together, crystalk. Egg is not dairy.

So, why no mayo on a fleshik sandwich then already?

[Cinnamon Girl]

I put mayo on a fleishig sandwich all time. Regular mayo is parve. Eggs are parve.

I don't know that it's "lots" of people, but some have. Here are some links:

Are you kidding? I think "thou shall put mayo on roast beef" is a commandment.

Thank you for taking the time to find some links for me, monkeyshine. Having read them, neither one substantiates anyone's claim that rabbis are retroactively nullifying conversions. The first source merely discusses whether it is possible halachically (which isn't supported) and the second source, is from a "Progressive Jewish" action committee in Israel, and again, doesn't give any real reports, but merely claims, for obviously biased reasons, that Orthodox rabbis are giving people a hard time for no reason and yanking conversions willy nilly.

It sounds a lot like this whole discussion is based on some angry rumors by non-observant Jews who just don't like Halacha.

Interesting discussion, thanks for the ping.
