QUICK Qs: Which Miraculous Food Would You Choose?

David asks which biblical food we'd choose to taste: manna, fish and loaves, or wedding wine from Cana, prompting a surprisingly passionate debate about divine cuisine.

• One host chooses wedding wine because Jesus made it with his own hands, creating a direct connection to Christ
• The manna appeals to our curiosity since the Bible gives limited description of this mysterious desert sustenance
• Concerns about fish temperature and preparation methods make the loaves and fishes less appealing
• Unexpected debate about whether people at the miracle were biting directly into whole fish
• Jewish host makes a connection between the biblical fish and bread and modern bagels and lox
• Bible specifically mentions the wedding wine was exceptional quality, influencing our final choices

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Quick questions with David is back.
Guys, we have another wonderfulquestion from David today.
What do?

Speaker 2 (00:07):
you got All right.
If you can taste either manna,fish and loaves or wedding wine,
which would it be, and why?

Speaker 1 (00:18):
Oh man, look, my instinct is to say manna, but I
am such a foodie I wouldn'tappreciate it.
I'm going to go with thewedding wine only because Jesus
made that with his own hands.
I'm going with that.
It's less about the wine, it'smore about the connection to

(00:41):
Jesus there.
So that's my quick answer.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Okay, okay, yeah, I'm going to go with your impulse
and mine is manna.
I just you know, obviously,growing up Jewish and reading
about the Exodus story and themanna is just something that I,
you know.
It sustained them and I'm going.
What did this taste?
Like?
The most dry, protein filledbread ever, where it's full of
protein and carbs and I'm justhard to chew it down.

(01:06):
Or did God make it taste prettygood?
And was it a little bit salty,a little bit?
I don't know.
I just think there's not awhole lot of description on the
taste of manna, so I'd love tosee what that tastes like.
Totally agree.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
I'm going to go with the process of elimination here
and it's kind of easy, Plus,also obvious it's going to be
the wine.
I say that because manna in thedesert, I don't know, that
sounds horrible.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
That's true.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
Fish in loaves.
I mean, my fish has to be cold.
I can imagine it was just kindof like hot in these baskets and
they're going around.
I don't know if we would havetasted that well but.
But the bible does say the winewas like one of the best wine
anyone could ever taste orsomething like that.
You know so I would say itwould be the wine just because
of flavor and the bible doessays it did taste really good

(01:59):
there you have it, folks.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
I don't want to glaze over, but did you just say you
only like cold fish?
You, you don't like hot fish.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
No, what I mean is like Not room temperature fish.
I could imagine they didn'tgrill this fish.
I mean, it's just fish.
And probably still had a scaleon it and all that stuff.
So I just it kind of grosses meout a little bit.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
That's the way I picture it too.
I picture people like and Inever thought about it until now
, but I've always picturedpeople just like taking a bite
out of a fish.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
I don't know why.
What a ridiculous image.
Like a fish and just loavesLike ah.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
thank you, yeah, and they're like one in each hand.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
All right, you guys have obviously never been to a
Jewish breakfast Never when it'sthe bagels and lox.
And I'm saying you have loavesand fish, you have bag bagels
and lox right there.
Um, that's a whole differentstory that's a whole different
story.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
You can be bagels and lox and we're gonna talk, yeah,
for sure but okay yeah so, guys, there you have it.
We are picky eaters and we weknow what we want all right, so
until next week, guys.
See you later, bye bye you.
