Answer 1

The food mentioned in the ad is delicious. Then again, I'm Jewish so I was raised on the stuff. Lots of goyim (non-Jews) don't go much for stuff like gefilte fish, chopped liver, borscht, smoked herring, and some other things. But who doesn't love a big pastrami sandwich on rye or a bagel with smoked salmon?

By the way, kosher food is any food that is produced according to a very detailed set of rules. Any food that falls in these guidelines in considered kosher. The foods we traditionally associate with kosher food, like the ones mentioned in the video, come from Eastern European Jewish culture. Most Jews that emmigrated to America came from Eastern Europe, so that is the culture that we most closely associate with "Jewish" food. There are other traditional foods that are kosher that are associated with Jews from the Middle East. These foods are much different than the ones from the Eastern European culture, but they are still kosher.

You can actually have any kind of food be kosher as long as it follows the rules. Kosher Chinese, kosher Italian, kosher Mexican, and so on.

Answer 2

Kosher food is good. you dont' eat any dary with meat... no cheese burgers, or pizza with meat. Kosher butchered meat is safter then regualr meat. The kosher slauter is a cleaner safter method.
Kosher also can mean that the place where it was packaged or made has been inspected by a rabi, and the product has been blessed. This is how Coca Cola has times where the cans have the kosher "K" on them.

From a purely nutritional point of view, Kosher food is incredibly dangerous. Loaded, I mean LOADED with saturated fat, ultra-high carbohydrates and so processed it hardly resembles food anymore. Take gefilte fish, for example. It smells, looks and tastes like cat food, and is so processed that virtually NO nutritional content is left to consume. Brisket of beef (which makes up pastrami and corned beef as well) is the absolute WORST cut of beef on the animal, with a fat content of over 50%, all of it trans fat. Bagels made in the traditional way are comprised of stripped, dead white flour with as much carbohydrates as a good sized sugary soft drink. Potato pancakes? Pure carbohydrate fried in a LOT of oil and topped off with sour cream. Heart attack on a plate.

Smoked salmon is very good, but it's not a Jewish food - it was adopted by Jews on the east coast of the US from the Scots immigrants that brought it from their homeland.

That being said, Kosher food -tastes- good, at least most of it. But high fat content foods are always better tasting. Kosher food laws, other than the laws governing the slaughtering of animals, are a bit more perplexing and most offer little to the taste of food. Serving dairy and meat on the same plate, for example. Some kind of admonition about combining the milk of the mother with the meat of the animal. WTF? Or, even more bizarre, the labeling as traif (forbidden) of fish with no scales (like Shark) or 'things that creep along the bottom of the sea (like lobster or shrimp). Again, WTF? Why does this make these foods forbidden?

My advice, ask a Rabbi for a list of Kosher foods that are low in fat, and high in nutritional value. Hmmm it may be a small list. :)
