What foods would be on a kosher menu?
Kosher basically means any food that conforms to Jewish dietary law called kashrut. There are many options! Go to your local store and look at the labels.
An idea for a kosher breakfast meal might be a DAIRY meal including: milk, cereal, orange juice, pancakes, and a hard-boiled egg.
An idea for a kosher lunch meal might be a DAIRY meal including: pasta in a red sauce with kosher cheese, sautéed vegetables, and kidney beans.
An idea for a kosher dinner meal might be a MEAT meal including: steak, french fries, steamed broccoli and asparagus.
Wrong. Jews do eat beef, provided that it is kosher, and not together with dairy. We wait one-half hour after eating dairy before eating meat. Eating meat is a mitzva (a religious Jewish precept) on Shabbat and Torah-festivals, since it adds to their enjoyment; and it is permitted on regular weekdays too.

What does a U with a circle around it mean?
The "OU" on food packaging (the letter U inside a circle) is the kosher symbol of the Orthodox Union. It is one of the most popular kosher symbols in the United States. Many Orthodox Jews who only eat kosher food will only buy products with this symbol.
They're land animals (biologically birds, but they don't fly), so the relevant criteria for kashrut are split hooves and cud-chewing. Obviously they have neither trait. Therefore they are not kosher.
What impact does kosher foods have on jews health?
Kosher meat is saltier than non-kosher, so it needs less salt in cooking.
Since meat and milk cannot be mixed, kosher cooking often involves non-dairy substitutes for dairy products, and/or vegetarian substitutes for meat.
A kosher kitchen will often not have all the same equipment for both meat and milk; and that can dictate what can be made in either one. If a recipe doesn't call for either meat or milk, but it does call for a certain kind of utensil and one only has it in meat or in milk, then the recipe can only be made in that kind.
Certainly. Nothing intrinsic to the ingredients or preparation of beer is inherently unkosher. The beer is kosher unless it is brewed in a plant that also processes other items that are not kosher. In that case, a Jewish observer would be required to certify that separation is maintained between the processing lines; otherwise some cross-contact would have to be assumed, and the beer would be avoided by those concerned with keeping kosher.
Most certainly do eat pasta. There may be some who do not, but its difficult to find any information that would directly state they are not allowed to eat pasta as part of their religious beliefs. According to Wikipedia, strict Rastafarians avoid foods that are "canned, or preserved by drying," so some Rastafarians would avoid dried pastas.
Do diet pills need to be kosher?
The kosher diet has nothing to do with gaining or losing weight. It simply means that whatever you eat is not forbidden by the Torah's kosher-laws. So within the scope of permitted foods, you can choose the healthier ones, and stick to reasonably-sized portions, or you could do the opposite.
Even when meat is customary, you can purchase a less-fatty cut, and have a small or medium portion. The same goes for the fried foods in Hanukkah - there is no required minimum. And in Passover, get plenty of vegetables with your matzah, instead of overeating on the matzah.

What are the rules about kosher foods?
Because God commanded them (Deuteronomy 14).In the Torah there are many laws which might not make sense to us, such as rules about keeping kosher. These laws are known as chukim. Observant Jews keep these laws not because they have to seem sensible to us, but because God has commanded us. However, observant Jews also believe that every commandment, including the commandments of keeping kosher, were given for beneficial reasons. For one example, it has been said that keeping kosher teaches to control one's desires. Judaism teaches that when a Jew passes by a plate of chicken parmigiana he should not say, "that's disgusting, how could one eat that." But rather, he should acknowledge he enjoys the smell, and say, "That smells good, but I follow the Torah and I am not going to eat that." I've also heard that calcium (found in dairy) inhibits the absorption of iron (found in meat) and vice versa, so eating them together would interfere with obtaining the nutrients.
Corona beer's kosher.
Largely unknown to most in mainstream kashrus, the OK laboratories gives a hashgacha on many beers produced by Mexico based Compania Cervecera Del Tropico S.A. de CV. These beers include Corona Cerveza, Corona Extra, Corona Light, Coronita Cerveza, Coronita Extra, Leon, Modelo Especial, Modelo Light, Montejo, Negra Modelo Beer, Pacifico Clara, Victoria. While many of these beers are not available in mainstream outlets, some are very visible like the ever present Corona Extra.
While beer is generally not a drink which is served with a garnish, Corona is quite often served with a lime. This could be due to the fact that the flavor of the lime blends very well with the Corona, or because the Corona is so bland and tasteless that anything would work well with it in order to perk up the flavor of the brew.
I am ambivalent as to whether the reason for the success of the Corona and lime combination is because of the former or the latter reason. There are quite a few lime beer brewed combinations, although I have only tried one - Blue Moon Rising Moon Spring Ale (brewed with Kieffer Lime) because it is currently the only lime flavored beer under hashgacha (for a review click http://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2009/03/sunday-night-suds-rising-moon-spring.html).
This may change soon however, as the OU has been reviewing the Miller beers which joined the MillerCoors family and there is hope that many more flavored beers will soon be under kosher supervision. I hope to provide more information on these brews once I can confirm that they are under supervision.
The Corona Extra is a very light lager which pours almost lemon candy yellow. The beer has a fair amount of carbonation and is OK when consumed ice cold. I would not want to try this beer when it was warm and I sometimes wonder why it is so popular in the United States.
Corona Extra is under the kosher supervision of the OK laboratories - click here http://www.ok.org/kfgProducts.asp?ir=R&V=Compania+Cervecera+Del+Tropico+S%2EA%2E+de+CV to see the full list of Compania Cervecera Del Tropico S.A. de CV. beers which are under the OK.

Do Jewish people treat fish as meat and not eat it with milk?
No - if we did, the Jewish world would be a very different place as we wouldn't have that famous Jewish delicacy bagel mit lox un a schmear (a bagel filled with smoked salmon and cream cheese)!
Can Jewish people drink fruit juice?
Yes, Jewish people can drink fruit juice. The only fruit juice which is problematic is grape juice as there are certain laws and regulations governing the production of kosher wine and grape juice. All fruit juices should be certified kosher by the relevant Beth Din (Kosher Authority) before being consumed.
How long can you keep chardonnay wines?
Assuming you mean unopened bottles...chardonnay should generally be consumed within 1-3 years of the release date. There are however many chardonnays that can last longer, sometimes up to 20 years or even decades longer, but at that point you will be drinking something that is a very specialized taste and will have needed to have been produced from an extremely high-end winery. Many of the chardonnays from the Burgundy region in France can last decades.
Why kosher meat differ with other meat?
Kosher for passover means no leavening. Kosher for passover food is food that contains NO bread, pasta, crackers, cookies or cake... Also forbidden are beer and whiskey. A more technical answer is that it can't contain chametz - any of the five grains (wheat, barley, oats, rye and spelt) that has come into contact with water, which causes leavening.
There are brands of kosher for Passover baking powder but they have to be marked specifically for Passover.
Yes, sugar is Kosher.
Everything that grows from the ground is kosher. There's nothing in sugar
to make it non-kosher, as long as it doesn't come in contact with other
ingredients, or machinery, used in non-kosher products.
The Jews that choose to keep Kosher cannot eat bacon because it comes from pork (pig), and that is one dietary restriction of keeping Kosher
Why can't meat be served with dairy in a kosher kitchen?
"It's mixing meat with dairy - the first NO-NO of the kosher dietary laws!"
Umm it's actually a rabbinic extension of the prohibition on meat and dairy. The rabbis were concerned that the similar texture of meat and poultry would lead people to erroneously believe that meat is allowed to be eaten with dairy. So we gotta safeguard our Torah with this preventative injunction.
Kosher foods follow the ancient Levitical law of the Bible. God, after rescuing the Israelite nation from slavery in Egypt, made a kind of deal with the people. He would always dwell known among if they followed his commands. The famous Ten Commandments were among these. He also gave dietary laws making certain foods "un-kosher". The reason for these is assumed to be partially as a way of protecting the nation by monitoring their food consumption. Without refrigeration and the intricate processing of today, many of the foods would have been dangerous. These laws are still kept today by Orthodox Jews. A special label has been put on foods in modern times to identify them as safe. These foods are "Kosher".
What is meant by a kosher kitchen?
A Jewish kitchen (Known as a Kosher Kitchen) is going to be slightly different from the average kitchen at your home. Most people have one sink, one set of silverware, dishes, utensils, ovens and sponges. Kosher kitchens usually have between two and three sets of the previously listed items.
Why? Well, Part of Kosher is that you cannot have meat and milk together. This often includes anything used to prepare (serve, eat, or store) them. That means Bowls, plates, silverware, cooking and baking utensils, ovens, pots and pans, among others. Now that explains two sets, but what about the third? The answer to that is in essence that you can have something that that is neither milk or meat (like pasta). However, if you cook the pasta in a milk or meat pot (or oven), it is considered to be the pot's (or oven's) respective type of food, and cannot be eaten with the other type. Parve is that third type. It is neither milk nor meat, and can therefor be eaten with milk or meat.
Kosher kitchens also only have Kosher ingredients in them
Which foods are difficult to eat for people who do not have any teeth?
mash potato. If you put a baked potato into a blender (remove skin) with a piece of fried chicken (no bone) and puree it, it comes out GREAT! It appears to be just plain mashed potatoes but tastes like potatoes and fried chicken. You could also add veg with it.
The goat is an animal that is permissible to be eaten if it's properly slaughtered,
inspected, and prepared.
If you spend any time reading the bible, you might have noticed how many of the
Tabernacle and Temple 'sacrifices' are goats, which kind of implies that it's probably
a kosher animal.
What can Jews not eat according to Kosher?
There are a lot of no-nos, but here are a few examples: - You may not eat any animal that does not have a cloven hoof and does not chew its cud. Some non-kosher animals are pigs and rabbits. Some kosher ones are cows and sheep. - If you eat anything containing (or cooked with) meat, you may not eat dairy immediately afterwards. (This law comes from the Biblical prohibition against cooking a calf in its mothers milk.) You must wait a specific amount of time before consuming dairy (generally three or six hours, depending on the custom). You cannot eat meat and dairy in the same meal. - You may not eat any fish that does not have scales and fins. - You may not eat meat from animals that have not been slaughtered and prepared correctly.
Food that Jews are permitted to eat?
Below are the mitzvot from the Torah, however, it doesn't actually let you know what religious Jews do and do not eat today. Religious Jews only eat kosher food, below are the core aspects of what that is:
1. Land animals have to chew their cud and have split hooves. Even then, the animal has to be slaughtered in a specific way that minimizes pain.
2. Fish have to have scales and fins.
3. Birds can't be amongst the list of those forbidden in the Torah and they can't be hunters/scavengers.
4. Dairy and meat cannot be combined in any way and cannot be eaten at the same meal. Chicken and other birds are considered meat for this purpose.
5. Consumption of blood is forbidden. For this reason, animals must be drained of all blood and the meat salted to draw out as much blood as possible.
