One explanation offered was the potential difficulty in distinguishing, on your plate, between red fish blood (which may be eaten, I believe, please comment if I am incorrect) and red blood from meat that has not been kashered (which may not). I believe that this separation has been gradually relaxed in recent years. It is still very common, however, to serve the gefulte fish before the meat course, on a separate plate which is removed from the table before serving the meat. - Toby Robison allegra!eosp1!robison decvax!ittvax!eosp1!robison princeton!eosp1!robison (NOTE!
