What is the difference between kosher and non-kosher mayonnaise?

== == * The ingredients would stay the same, but the kosher mayonnaise would have been produced in a kosher factory under rabbinical supervision. As in, the rabbi visits every so often to make sure that no treif or "unkosher" ingredients are being used in the factory or that no milk or meat products were sharing the same utensils (Jews aren't allowed to EVER mix milk and meat, in addition to not eating shellfish, birds of prey, etc.) Kosher food is not blessed, it's just supervised by knowledgeable authority figures. * Kosher foods are foods that conform to the rules of the Jewish religion (kashrut, Jewish dietary laws.) Example: Slaughtered animals under 'Kashrut' are by Jewish dietary laws. Non-kosher include ingredient derived from non-kosher animals or from kosher animals that were not properly slaughtered. This applies to other foods in the Jewish dietary laws.

Do Jewish people eat bread and if they do can they eat white and black bread?

Yes -- IF all the ingredients used in making the bread are kosher, and none of the utensils or ovens have been used for non-kosher foods (or they have been ritually purified by a competent rabbi after such use), and the bread was not baked on the Sabbath or one of the Biblically-ordained Holy Days, the bread would be kosher. However, since it is common to use animal fats and other non-kosher ingredients in baking, and violation of the Sabbath is rampant, there must be reliable rabbinical supervision to certify the bread as kosher. Additionally, pious Jews refrain from eating bread which was not baked by an observant Jewish person.
