I've cut and pasted a bit from the first link below; the second site goes into much more detail on the rabbinic discussions:

On three separate occasions, the Torah tells us not to "boil a kid in its mother's milk." (Ex. 23:19; Ex. 34:26; Deut. 14:21). The Oral Torah explains that this passage prohibits eating meat and dairy together. The rabbis extended this prohibition to include not eating milk and poultry together. It is, however, permissible to eat fish and dairy together, and it is quite common. It is also permissible to eat dairy and eggs together. According to some views, it is not permissible to eat meat and fish together, but I am not certain of the reason for that restriction.

This separation includes not only the foods themselves, but the utensils, pots and pans with which they are cooked, the plates and flatware from which they are eaten, the dishwashers or dishpans in which they are cleaned, and the towels on which they are dried. A kosher household will have at least two sets of pots, pans and dishes: one for meat and one for dairy.

One must wait a significant amount of time between eating meat and dairy. Opinions differ, and vary from three to six hours. This is because fatty residues and meat particles tend to cling to the mouth. From dairy to meat, however, one need only rinse one's mouth and eat a neutral solid like bread, unless the dairy product in question is also of a type that tends to stick in the mouth.

The Yiddish words fleishig (meat), milchig (dairy) and pareve (neutral) are commonly used to describe food or utensils that fall into one of those categories.

Note that even the smallest quantity of dairy (or meat) in something renders it entirely dairy (or meat) for purposes of kashrut. For example, most margarines are dairy for kosher purposes, because they contain a small quantity of whey or other dairy products to give it a dairy-like taste. Animal fat is considered meat for purposes of kashrut. You should read the ingredients very carefully, even if the product is kosher-certified.

lol not hardly. Goes against the laws of "Milschig und Fleishig". In the super-orthodox Jewish Home, the housewife actually keeps separate sets of pots, pans and utensils, one set for the preparation and cooking of any kind of meat; the other set for anything relating to dairy.
The Elders have always said that we should at least have enough compassion as we eat the baby animal, that we do not be so callous as to steep it in its own mother's milk....... or that of any mother milk-giver.
I'm not sure that too many jews today -- even quite devout ones --- still go to such extreme lengths to keep meat and milk apart. But that's really the background to it.

You aren't supposed to eat dairy and meat products at the same time. Cheeseburgers and milkshakes are delicious.

Yes, they just can't touch each other on the table, and meat and dairy have to be on separate plates.

Scottie; you need to go get an ID-10-T form.

Not if they keep kosher. No meat and dairy together.
