I posted this in another thread, and not wanting to divert the topic, I'd like to hear more about it here,

Isn't there a reason we eat cholent Shabbos morning, bec the tzedokim interpreted "lo sivori aish" as "no fire on Shabbos", so they ate cold food Shabbos. The chachamim therefore imposed the "eating hot food Shabbos morn".

If my memory serves me well, my chassidish teaschers taught something along the lines of "having to check you ancestry if a yid didn't eat warm food on Shabbos".

Am I recalling well, does anyone know about this too?

Isn't that attributed to the Karaites ?

We usually do, but when we don't we have coffee or tea on Shabbat day--a hot beverage.

We usually don't eat our cholent till 4-5 PM or so. Basically kids' dinnertime.

Really????? My stomach wouldn't be able to handle that.

I did think that the hot Shabbat lunch was a hallmark of the break between Rabbinic Judaism and the Karaites. We eat hot lunches to demonstrate our belief in the Oral Torah.

Some simply are paranoid about fires, or lazy, or like cold food.

My dd loves chulent in the morning, in the night, in the day, always.

I was raised having cholent every Shabbat lunch, but I was also raised in a house where we paid no attention to electricity bills. When I'm only air conditioning down to 76 instead of 72 and my house is humid anyway, (1) I can't bear to have the cholent pot making things even hotter, and (2) I just don't want to EAT hot stew. So we just started making cholent again. The hot water we have more often than cholent, but often not even that in the summer.

I was under the impression it was just something hot so tea or coffee was fine. I am more likely to eat cholent at shul then at lunch later. I love cholent but cant handle it in both places. I call it my cholent diet.

Off topic but couldn't resist.

CHOLENT IS LIKE A CREDIT CARD.
ENJOY NOW, PAY LATER!

as I understand it - there was an era where jews would be prosecuted for keeping shabbos & that is when cholent became the norm - it mean something like hot pot ...

my slowcooker broke so since then I hardly make cholent since it burns if I put it on the plata and spoils on the blech. Plus we don't like it that much so it was getting made and not eaten. And no one likes it after shabbos either.

If we are having guests I will make cholent.

It comes from French
- chaude lente - hot slow (pronounced: show-lont)
and some say it's
- chaude (à) long - hot for long (pronounce: show-long)

Not the cholent-eating, but the not having a fire burning. Yes. They interpreted Torah literally and solely according to the written law, without the oral law to make sense of it. An eye for an eye... interpreted literally. makes one shudder.
