Jews may not eat animals that do not have split hooves and chew the cud (so, no pork/ bacon). Even the animals we can eat must be slaughtered in a specific way, which causes minimum pain to the animal and drains almost all the blood. Jews may not eat any blood, so all meats need to be salted and soaked in a special way to clear all blood. We can't eat fish that don't have fins and scales nor oysters, lobsters, shrimp or crab. We don't eat insects (we even check our vegetables to make sure they are clean of insects). Jews have a short list of forbidden birds, but generally stick to chicken and turkey and occasionally duck and quail. Manufactured products are only OK if the factory meets the standards of local kosher authorities, who need to check the ingredients and the cleaning processes of the plant to make sure no forbidden foods slip in.
Religiously observant Jews will not eat any food that does not meet the requirements of kashrut (Jewish dietary laws).
The basic rules to follow are:
* Any meat or poultry has to be certified kosher.
* Fish has to be from a kosher species, skin on. If the packaging the fish is in has kosher certification, it doesn't have to have the skin.
* Meat and dairy cannot be combined in any way, poultry qualifies as meat in this case. Even products that contain dairy byproducts (whey, etc) cannot be combined with meat.
* Fish and meat cannot be served on the same dish or at the same time.
* In North America, milk is considered acceptable by most groups. Some groups do require kosher certification for milk. Almost all require kosher certification for dairy products (cheese, etc). There is a higher level of certification for dairy products called Chalav Yisroel.
* Any processed ingredient must have kosher certification.
* Some groups do not eat certain vegetables because it's too difficult to clean them of all bugs and dirt (broccoli, cauliflower, romaine lettuce, asparagus, etc).
* Some groups require that a Jew is involved in the food preparation process of cooked food in some way, even turning on the stove/oven qualifies.
Depending on what's being served and where, some people require supervision by a mashgiach. A mashgiach is a religiously observant Jew who is well versed in the laws of kashrut.
Whereas in the Old Testament the Jews were restricted in what they could eat (eg thery are famously not allowed to eat pork or ham or any meat from a pig, nor shellfish nor many other kind of food - as listed in Leviticus) for the Christian there is no restriction on what food they can eat as Peter had a vision of God allowing every kind of food - as part of his New Covenant - and also Jesus declared that it was not what went into a person's mouth that made him unclean, but what came out of his mouth because of the content of his character.
The core rules of kashrut (dietary laws), as per the Tanach (Jewish Bible), are:
* Land animals must have split hooves and chew their cud.
* Fish have to have scales and fins.
* Birds cannot be amongst those listed as forbidden in the Torah and cannot be hunters/scavengers
* Animals must be killed in a specific manner and must be free of all disease
* As much blood as possible must be removed from meat as consumption of blood is forbidden
* Dairy and meat cannot be combined in the same meal and there's a waiting period between eating one then the other.

beef is strictly forbidden in Hinduism . Sometimes meat is also prohibited.
Nothing is taboo in the sense that it can't be talked about. Judaism has always had a cherished tradition of debate and discussion. In terms of things that are forbidden: Jews are forbidden to worship anyone or anything but G-d. We are forbidden to worship another human, for example. It is also blasphemy, and thus forbidden, to ever claim that G-d would adopt human form. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
