Kosher

When a food item is kosher, it means it was prepared according to the strict kosher dietary laws, some of which include not mixing meat food items with dairy food items (when something is "Pareve" it contains neither dairy nor meat), not eating products of non-kosher animals or animals that were not ritually slaughtered, and not eating any shellfish.

Not only does the food need to be kosher in order to conform to dietary laws, but the vessels and utensils used in preparing them need to be kosher as well.


This week, a very brief look at Kosher.
