A binding custom may have the force of halachah, eg wearing a kippah in the everyday. Apart from festival dishes, though (where I can see a certain customary force to, say, cheesecake at Shavuot, and foods at Pesach beyond the clear halachah), are there any culinary recipes that could be considered binding customs? (I would add the tags gender and family, but they haven't been created.)

  • I was making chicken soup, and in a humorous vein thinking of it as compulsory, but of course it is actually not. But ancient would be fine too! Commented May 3, 2020 at 14:25
  • within families there are very strong customs, that would be shocking to go against. Commented May 3, 2020 at 14:28

    @MarkJoseph Cholent in order to show that we can leave food to heat from before shabbos to show thast the Karaites were wrong about not leaving a flame on over shabbos. Gefilte fish in order to show that we are avoiding borer (removing the bones from the fish). Commented May 3, 2020 at 16:30
