Kosher Food

I wish I knew BUT a Real Pizza has cheese with has obviously melted, bubbled, and the tops of the bubbles are burned. Not like the plastic stuff found on chain pizza's.

You might want to check out 1950's fondu instructions.

Also, regarding Pizza, the sauce should be spicy, way way more spicy than even 1980's pizza's let alone todays pizza's.

Pizza should have melted cheese with scorching, spicy sauce even when cold and the toppings are under the cheese. The bread should be thick, like old tomatoe pie from the East Coast and the bread dough should be spicy as well. The sauce should have soaked into the bread 25% to 33%.

But one of the keys to a proper pizza flavor is the scortched portions of the cheese

Only if they like beets. There is no particular custom, obligation or prohibition in the matter.

While Jews have special dietary laws which say that certain foods are not permitted, they eat the same way other people do, using knives and forks and spoons, etc. However, you may find that some Jews say a blessing (they give thanks to God) before they eat, and some say another blessing when the meal is concluded. These blessings are generally said in Hebrew.

Kosher means right or correct according to Jewish dietary law. In non-Hebrew-speaking countries, it usually refers to food that is kosher, meaning all food but land animals that don't chew their own cud (pig and others), shell-fish, and crustaceans.

Kosher symbols are the signs on food packaging or eating establishments that show the food is kosher. A kosher symbol will carry a name of a recognized rabbi or kosher inspection agency.

When a kosher customer goes shopping, he/she will look out for those signs to know what to buy.

Different places have different kosher symbols, so you often need to check with the locals to know what's reliable. Some well-known symbols include: USA- "OK" an O with a K inside, "OU", "Star K" a star with a K inside, "Chaf K" a backwards C with a K inside, CRC (Chicago) in a triangle, "CHK" a large C with HK inside and a crown on the C, "KAJ" UK- "Kedassia" (London), MK in a circle, "KLBD",

Australia- Kosher Australia (K in an Oz map), Melbourne Kosher

Canada- MK in a circle, COR in a circle. South Africa- "BD" in a diamond. And, of course, a host of Israeli symbols. You really need to know what's what in Israel, because there are a few unreliable symbols floating about.

Please note that a plain "K" is never a genuine kosher symbol.

Here are some issues relating to cooking utensils according to Jewish law and observed by traditional Jews today:

Metal and glass utensils fashioned by non-Jews are immersed in a mikveh, or ritual bath, before first use.

A kosher kitchen has two sets of cooking and eating utensils: One for meat, and one for dairy. They usually have two sets for the holiday of Passover as well.

Otherwise, Jews use cooking utensils like anyone else. To avoid cooking food on the Sabbath, they may use hot plates or crockpots set up in advance to keep food warm.

The whole cow is kosher. However, the vein/artery and nervous system is so complicated in the hind quarter that it is incredibly difficult to remove these two things (a requirement of the kashering process) without destroying the cuts. As a result, in almost all areas, only the front half is used for kosher meat.

Though any dill pickle can be Kosher, in the world of pickles, "Kosher Dill" means garlic has been added to the brine. They're more robust than regular dill pickles, and are often the kind of pickle served with a deli sandwich.

Religiously observant Jews will not eat any food that is not kosher. The core rules of kashrut (dietary laws) 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.

* Orthodox Jews and some Conservative Jews will not eat certain fruits and vegetables because it's too difficult to guarantee that all bugs have been washed away (cauliflower, asparagus, and the like).

Additionally, food must be prepared and handled following kashrut. Any food that does not meet these requirements cannot be eaten by those who are religiously observant.

Well, they "were". Best's was a division of Sara Lee Corporation, that shut down the division. They didn't even try to sell it off. If you search on line you'll see that many different people thought Best's were one of the best or the best. A loss.

There are brands of kosher for Passover baking soda but they have to be marked specifically for Passover.

In the past, baking for Passover was difficult because flour cannot be used. Macaroons are an easy flour free cookie to make and they taste delicious when made well.

When it comes to meats, Kosher is not synonymous with Halal, so no, we cannot eat Kosher Gelatin.

Gelatin is considered kosher by many Jews regardless of its source of origin. For Muslims, if gelatin is prepared from swine or cows that are not dhabeeha, it is haraam.

Jews who are observant of the dietary laws as outlined in the Bible will only eat kosher food. Kosher meat must be from an animal listed in the Bible, it cannot be from pork, any carnivore, and only from animals with split hooves which chew their cud which has been slaghtered properly. Sonic hotdogs have pork, and use beef that is from cows which have not been slaughtered according to the laws of Kashrut. Snic meat is nt kosher and therefore someone who observes the laws of kashrut would not ea Sonic hot dogs. Additionally, a Muslim who follows the laws of halal food would nt be able to eat sonic hot dogs for the same reason.

Israel. Some stores in the USA import the kosher gum from Israel, but all Wrigley's gum sold officially in the USA is not kosher.

Because God is reported to have said, through strict Jewish interpretation, that only fish with fins and scales can be eaten. Shellfish do not have these properties, so they can't be eaten.

Le 11:9 'These you may eat of all that are in the water: whatever in the water has fins and scales, whether in the seas or in the rivers-that you may eat. Le 11:10 'But all in the seas or in the rivers that do not have fins and scales, all that move in the water or any living thing which is in the water, they are an abomination to you. De 14:9 "These you may eat of all that are in the waters: you may eat all that have fins and scales. De 14:10 "And whatever does not have fins and scales you shall not eat; it is unclean for you.

Basically three things: (1) the kind of meat it is (the meat from certain animals can never be kosher, like pork), (2) whether the animal was alive and not sick at the time it was slaughtered (dead animals can not become kosher through butchering and even if an animal looks ok alive if when slaughtered it is found to have been ill internally it can no longer be treated as kosher), and (3) how it was slaughtered (proper ritual slaughter with a cut to the jugular vein and its blood drained as much as possible). In addition, there are special prayers said particularly during the ritual slaughter, but that is not critical as such.

Yes, Almonds are Kosher.

Raw nuts do not require Kosher certification. Nuts that are oil roasted, dry roasted or seasoned, both in or out of the shell, require Kosher certification. An exception would be peanuts roasted in their shells. They are acceptable without Kosher certification. Peanuts aren't really nuts, they're legumes.

Islam is another of the world's religions that is a way of life, which means everything the believer does must conform to particular rules; this ensures that whatever the person does, it is conducted in a godly manner. Muslims only eat halal meat because of the dietary laws of their faith. The meat has been blessed, and it is meat from animals that are permitted under Islamic religious law (very similar to the Kosher laws in Judaism).

For meat to be halal, it must not be from a pig (no bacon or ham or pork) nor contain any byproducts of a forbidden (haram) animal. All the blood must be drained from it after it is slaughtered, since blood must never be consumed. And the blessing "Bismillah" (in the name of Allah) must be spoken when the animal is slaughtered, as a reminder that whatever is done, it is done to glorify Allah (God). Halal meat is a reminder to Muslims that even eating can be a holy act. Religious Muslims believe that following the dietary laws shows respect for Allah and is it thus an essential aspect of their faith.

You need to call your local Orthodox rabbi so he can come to your house to help you.

The Torah requires that animals that Jews consume have split hooves and chew their cud. Horses do not have split hooves.

Horses also do not chew cud.

Pistachios are not chametz or kitniyot so they are allowed for all groups. They do require a Passover hechsher though because they are processed.

This is not correct. Jews can eat cloven-hoof mammals. However, this is necessary, but insufficient condition for determining a kosher land animal. It must also ruminate or chew its cud. Therefore, the pig which does have a cloven hoof but does not ruminate may not be consumed. Cows, deer, lamb, bison, antelope, goats, and several other animals that have a cloven hoof and ruminate can be kosher (if slaughtered properly).
