Is a kosher meal one where the animal being consumed has been circumcised prior to butchering?

Question

That's what my mother in law said.

Answer 1

Very funny! Don't believe anything your mother-in-law says ever again!!!. The animal is killed in a different way. Parts of the animal are not eaten if the person is kosher. The killing has to be certified by an authority, usually a rabbi. Kosher meat really tastes the same as non-kosher meat. One more fact: COWS ARE FEMALES, SO THEY DON'T HAVE THE BODY PART TO BE CIRCUMCISED!! Now, will you stop listening to your mother-in-law?????

Answer 2

LOL - no! I can see where she got that from, but no, that's totally inaccurate.
A kosher meal is one that is prepared according to strict rules laid out in the Torah (parts of the Old Testament). This regulates what foods can be served, how they can be prepared, which foods shouldn't be mixed together, etc.
Kosher meat has to be butchered in a specific way by a specially trained rabbi - the key point is that the animal's throat shoud be cut in such a way that it feels no pain. The death is quick and merciful.

Answer 3

ure mother in law should be circumcised then kosher meat is when the meat is cut by a Special Person that cuts the head of the animal from the head in the least painful way

Answer 4

This is not true.

"Kosher food is food prepared in accordance with Jewish dietary guidelines or "Kahrut" which means "proper."


What are some of the laws governing kosher food?


According to the Torah, the five books of Moses, cloven hoofed, cud-chewing mammals are kosher. Deer, sheep and goats are all considered kosher foods. Only certain birds are considered kosher in the United States. Chicken, duck, goose and turkey. Lobster lovers might be dismayed to find that for a fish to be kosher, it must have fins and easily removable scales. In most cases, scales must be present on the fish in order to be purchased by the consumer. There's more. If a fish monger isn't kosher, that means his cutting implements and machines aren't kosher either. If it is to be considered kosher food, it must be prepared with kosher equipment"

Answer 5

no there are a number of rules. These a just a few:

There is a ban on blood and torn limbs.
Only certain animals are kosher, or allowed to be eaten.
You cannot cooke meat in milk.

there is nothing about being circumsized.

Answer 6

Kosher has to do with what the animal was fed, how it was raised, and how it was slaughtered.

The people who raise and slaughter these animals have to be very careful to make sure that the product is "kosher" and safe for people who only eat kosher foods.

Answer 7

I think that a kosher meal would be absent of meat.

Answer 9

Don't think the Rabii does any cutting, think he's there
for the blessing -- couldn't prove it one way or the other
by me.

Answer 10

Basically the way the animal was fed and the way it's killed
