One man's "nasty food" is another man's feast. An example of that in French cuisine would be Escargot, large snails usually cooked with butter, garlic, and parsley. They are considered a delicacy by gourmands. But, many people are put off by the thought of eating them and think of them as "nasty".

The signs of a kosher fish are scales and fins. If the fish does not have either of these, then it is not a kosher fish. If it does, it is a kosher fish and one may eat it provided, of course, that it was prepared with kosher ingredients.

It means to eat according to the laws of the Torah.

* 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 (Deuteronomy ch.14) 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, since consumption of blood is forbidden (Leviticus ch.17).

* Dairy and meat cannot be combined in the same meal and there's a waiting period between eating one and then the other.

* Fruits and vegetables should be checked to be sure they're free of bugs. Some Jews avoid cauliflower, asparagus, and the like, because of the difficulty in checking them.

Additionally, food must be prepared and handled following kashrut-laws and with kosher ingredients only. Any food that does not meet these requirements cannot be eaten by those who are religiously observant. Foods which are purchased should be labeled as having had kosher supervision during their processing.

BCK is an orthodox Jewish organization based in British Columbia, Canada that certifies kosher food production and restaurants.

The Bible lists twenty categories of birds, such as cormorants, owls, as well as bats (which are not taxonimcally-speaking birds). However, in terms of actual species, these count for thousands of individual species; for example, there are over 1,200 different species of bats.

Leviticus 11:13-19: (NIV): 13 "'These are the birds you are to regard as unclean and not eat because they are unclean: the eagle, the vulture, the black vulture, 14 the red kite, any kind of black kite, 15 any kind of raven, 16 the horned owl, the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk, 17 the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl, 18 the white owl, the desert owl, the osprey, 19 the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe and the bat.

The fish is kosher, since it has fins and scales, but may NOT be prepared the kosher way.

The STAR-K mark is used as a symbol by STAR-K Kosher Certification (aka Vaad Hakashrus of Baltimore), one of the best-known kosher certifying agencies that supervises the production of kosher food to ensure that it is, in fact, kosher. (The organization also uses a Star-D symbol, to indicate that dairy products are kosher -- the different symbol is used to alert Jews to the fact that, while the product is kosher, it also contains dairy and, as such, must not be consumed by observant Jews within a certain time period of eating meat, as to do so is not kosher).

The organization also has relevance to appliances. The issues relative to appliances deal with the Orthodox Jew's restriction from doing some types of "work" on Sabbath and Jewish Holidays. The STAR-K evaulates the appliances, and describes how they may be used on the Sabbath and Jewish Holidays. If you have any further questions regarding appliance use on Sabbath and Jewish Holidays, check out http://www.star-k.com/cons-appl.htm for a complete listing of manufacturers whose appliances they certify and guidelines as to how to use them on Sabbath and Jewish Holidays.

This certification has nothing to do with the food being cooked on the appliances; i.e., it does not extend to certifying whether the appliance is being used for Kosher or non-Kosher food, only to its usage on Sabbath and Jewish Holidays.

Orthodox Jewish teenagers eat the same things all Orthodox Jews eat; kosher foods of all different kinds.

Kingklip seems to be a kind of eel, and traditionally, eels are not considered kosher. To be kosher, a fish must have fins and scales, and the scales of most eels do not quite meet the traditioinal Jewish definition of a scale because they are embedded in the skin instead of loose where they can be scraped from the skin. However, there are Orthodox Jews who argue that it should be kosher because its scales appear to be just over the line into acceptability. In sum, it's a borderline case, and the traditional Jewish approach to such borderline cases is to "just say no."

Kosher soup is any soup that is made following the laws of kashrut (Jewish dietary laws). It is not a specific type of soup.
