No. In order to be kosher, an animal must fulfill both requirements for its given form (Deuteronomy ch.14). A land animal must ruminate AND have a cloven hoof. A sea creature must have fins AND scales. A flying animal (birds) must have feathers AND not be a raptor. (There is one exception to the flying animal requirements which allows for certain varieties of locust [Leviticus ch.11], but that's it.)

Why is pig considered the most unkosher of meats?

"There are two signs that identify a kosher species of animal. 1) It has split hooves, and 2) it chews its cud (i.e. it regurgitates its food and chews it over a second time.) The first sign is easy to spot - just look at the hooves. But the second is not so apparent. You have to study the animal's digestive system to know if it chews its cud. A cow is an example of an animal that fulfils both requirements, and is thus kosher. A horse is not kosher because it fulfils neither. There is only one animal in existence that seems kosher because it has split hooves, but is really not kosher because it doesn't chew its cud -- the pig." Source: www.chabad.org

What is the kosher rule about meat?

For meat to be Kosher, it must come from a ritually slaughtered animal that has both cloven hooves and chews it cud. The animal must also have no flaws or diseases. That means beef, sheep, goats and deer are Kosher. The main goal of ritual slaughter is so the animal will lose as much blood as possible, as eating blood is forbidden. The meat must then be "kashered", or made kosher, by hanging the carcass to drain as much blood as possible. Before cooking Kosher meat, the meat must first be washed, salted ( using "kosher salt"), and cooked well-done. Certain parts of kosher animals are non-kosher. One such part is the sciatic nerve in the hindquarters, which is extremely difficult to remove. Some of the choicest cuts of meat, like filet mignon and sirloin steak not from the Kosher part of the cow, and are forbidden. The fat surrounding the animal's organs is also not Kosher. Interestingly, there is a biochemical difference between the this fat and the fat surrounding the muscles (which is kosher). Meat meals are eaten separately from dairy, which is why a cheeseburger isn't Kosher. Gelatin, which is usually made from animal hooves, is not Kosher, as are any hard cheeses, that are processed using an enzyme from the stomach lining of non-kosher animals. As far as poultry goes, only domesticated fowl such as chicken, turkey, quail and geese may be eaten. Birds of prey and scavenger birds are prohibited. Only seafood with fins and scales are kosher. Fish need not be ritually slaughtered to be Kosher. Fish is the only meat that may be eaten with dairy or eggs.


What are kosher meats?

If an animal has split hooves, and chews it's cud, it is a kosher animal. The animal must also not be sick in a way that it will die within a year. Then ritual slaughtering must be done, by someone who knows the complicated laws. (And for those wondering, it is done in a way so that the animal goes through the least pain possible. For example, if the knife has even a tiny nick, the animal is not kosher.)


Is it kosher to eat pork?

That depends on whether you're Jewish. Pork is not kosher, so if you're Jewish it's not kosher to eat it. But if you're not Jewish then it is kosher for you to eat anything you like, so long as it didn't come from an animal that was still alive. There are some traditional Chinese dishes that are not kosher even for non-Jews, because the animal is eaten alive, but pork isn't one of them.

Is wildebeest Kosher?

Gazelle are specifically named in Deuteronomy 12: "... eat as much of the meat as you want, as if it were gazelle or deer ..."However, while some animals are forbidden, the fact that an animal is not forbidden does not automatically make its meat kosher, it just means that it can be kosher. The animal must still be slaughtered properly, butchered properly, and none of "the thigh" (generally defined as "the sciatic nerve and its branches", which in practice works out to "just to be safe, don't eat the back half of the animal") is kosher. Meat "offered to idols" is also not kosher, and "all fat is The Lord's" (so don't eat it).
