Peace.

Answer 2

Kosher is the diet of those whom are Jewish. The Jewish faith has a very strict diet and is referred to as Kosher. If you ever look at food even things like candy bars there is a symbol on it. That symbol will tell someone if it is kosher and what type. The one I can recall is the U with a circle around it.

The Jewish diet isn't allowed to mix meat with dairy. So you will find restuarants that will serve only dairy products with no meat. So a there aren't chesseburgers in the Jewish diet. That would be in violation of the diet.

Animals must be killed in a humane way to be kosher. The food is certified by a Rabbi.

This is just a basic answer go to www.answers.com and type in kosher and it will give you a proper answers. Good Luck

Answer 3

It depends on what level of "kosher" you want. I keep biblically kosher..I don't eat pork or shellfish (fish must have both fins & scales leaving out shark & catfish among others) or certain fowl (like ostrich). The rest are the laws of man. I have a very strict book on kashrut and it goes so far as stating if you food is even touched by someone who isn't Jewish it is made unclean.

Answer 4

You seriously did no work at all. Type in kosher and search the net. It is right there.

Kosher, or kashrut, or "keeping kosher" (Hebrew: כָּשֵר, kāšēr) is the name of the Jewish dietary laws. Food in accord with halakha (Jewish law) is termed kosher in English, from the Hebrew term kashér, meaning "fit" (in this context, fit for consumption by observant Jews).

Basically it's how an animal is killed, prepared and blessed. You also cannot mix dairy and meat products. There are foods and drinks though that are parve which mean you can eat or drink them with either dairy and meat.

There are also rules about how you store the food and what kind of plates you use, how many sets of utincils you have.

There is a lot more involved but this article will help you.

Answer 6

Kosher is a special way that Jewish people prepare food. When slaughtering beef there is a special way to do that. I think that they slit the throat of the cow and allow it to bleed to death before butchering it.

Answer 7

In the religious and dietary laws of the Jewish people, the term "kasher" is applied to the preparation of meat and poultry, and means "to render fit" or "proper" for eating....
You can read rules for kashering on http://jewish-food.blogspot.com/2006/07/rules-for-kashering.html

Answer 8

It is when animals are killed in the name of God, slit in the throat and the blood is left to drain out from the body. something like that. Muslims do a similar thing but its called halal meat.
