kosher Etymology: Heb, kasher, fit or proper pertaining to the preparation and serving of foods according to Jewish dietary laws (e.g., keeping dairy and meat separate in cooking and ingesting). Kosher foods include common fruits, vegetables, and cereals, as well as tea and coffee. Foods that are not kosher include pork, birds of prey, and seafood that lacks fins and scales, such as lobster and eels. Most poultry and meat products, excluding pork, are kosher if properly processed. How to thank TFD for its existence?

The recipes follow kashrut guidelines and each is earmarked with symbols denoting how it fits into a kosher meal -- meat, dairy or pareve. The story's preoccupation with laws of kashrut is to some extent explained thus: Holofernes' death is not killing, but kosher slaughter, an act done according to divine law, in support of the life of the community, which must not go hungry. Just as The Michelin Guide reviews restaurants and kashrut organizations certify foods, these systems rate privacy. |
