But I'm not about to give up my extracts, which have 30 to 90 per cent alcohol by volume, because Shoghi Effendi said not to eat flaming rum puddings or sip a toast. I think we need to use some common sense. My understanding is that rum puddings have quite a lot of alcohol left in them.

Thanks Sandra and friends to answer. So, the alcohol doesn't vaporize? What about meals where (for example) a meat is cooked (boiled or fried) with alcohol? In my country, there are few typical plaits that uses a little bit of alcohol, and people (including bah's) love to eat, and I think it

I think is a malpractice for bah's to eat a rum pudding (if he knows what is a rum pudding), but I don't see the problem to eat a meal where alcohol is vaporized and gone. I checked some web pages that indicate that alcohol vaporizes when boils or is putted to high degrees. Moreover, if

(this happened before I became a Baha'i, so I had no excuse not to eat it). ;-) Uh huh. Like you were looking for one. ;-} Didn't 'Abdu'l-Baha (or maybe Shoghi Effendi) say something once about not making an issue of alcohol content in food when we're somebody's guest, in order to
