Any kind of food becomes Kosher if it follows a set of rules for the way it is prepared or from what it is prepared. To give you a few examples: Jews are not aloud to eat meat from certain animals and not drink their milk, if the animal was killed in a way that caused it suffering than the animal is prohibited too. Any kind of bugs, insects, and the likes are totally prohibited. Meat and milk are not aloud to be eaten together. Blood is extremely prohibited too (like in eggs or meat for example). and a lot more examples.

Kosher means the food follows Biblical standards. In the book of Leviticus you will find God's rules for healthy eating. Some people think this is only for Jews and Muslims, but that is not true. How is the digestive system of a Jew different from that of a Gentile? There is nowhere in the Bible that rescinds these health laws. They are intended for all mankind.
Kosher means that out of mammals, you may eat only those that chew the cud AND have a split hoof - cows, sheep, goats, deer, moose, elk, llamas (but not camels), etc. Pigs have a split hoof, but do not chew the cud, and rabbits chew the cud, but do not have a split hoof. Therefore, neither of these animals should be eaten. Not only is pig meat full of trichina larva, but it also contains carcinogens and is confirmed by science to be the most unhealthy meat that Americans eat. Among fish, we may eat only those with fins AND scales - no shellfish or mustelids. Among birds, we may only eat foraging birds like chicken, turkey, pheasant, quail, grouse, or pigeon. No water birds or birds of prey. Kosher salt is in pure form and has no additives.
You will notice that the animals that we are generally forbidden to eat are either scavengers or predators. This makes sense - the meat of these animals is not fit for human consumption, even if it "tastes good". Also, the mammals that we are allowed to eat all have 4-5 stomachs. This was designed to purify the food they eat before it enters their meat.

Dietary laws: Kashrut
Main article: Kashrut
The laws of kashrut ("keeping kosher") are the Jewish dietary laws. Food in accord with Jewish law is termed kosher, and food not in accord with Jewish law is termed treifah or treif. From the context of the laws in the book of Leviticus, the purpose of kashrut is related to ritual purity and holiness, as well as health. Kashrut involves the abstention from consuming animals that eat other animals, and that roam the sea floor eating the excretions of other animals, therefore excluding birds/beasts of prey and seafood (other than fish), respectively. Also, mixing meat and milk is not allowed, as this is viewed as cooking the child in its mother's milk.

Although sometimes rationalized by reference to hygiene, its stated purpose is perhaps better understood as providing certainty that food eaten is prepared and partaken only from sources which are confirmed to have been spiritually appropriate and which avoided spiritual "negatives" such as pain, sickness, unclean animals or abusive practices in its preparation.

Kosher. kosher is when food meets the jewish regulations (kashrut). so basically a rabbi woversees food production and makes sure that food rules are followed, i.e. that meat and milk to not come into contact. its not overly complicated and my jewish friends tell me that its not hard to follow.
if you want to see more info, go to: http://www.jewfaq.org/kashrut.htm or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kashrut

Kosher?
Lots of foods. Like everything not made of animals without split hooves, and cud chewing. Or fish without scales.

Food that doesn't contain animal products unless the animal was kosher and proparly slaughtered, and doesn't involve milk and meat together.

It's spelled 'Kosher', and I believe there are certain rules and regulations that decide what is and is not. (I don't know what they are, unfortunately.) Have a nice day. :)
