Kosher Food
Kosher food is food that meets Jewish dietary laws. Any food can be called kosher food if it adheres to Jewish law. Foods that are considered Jewish aren't necessarily kosher. Kosher food laws are rather extensive, some are derived from the bible and others through rabbinic interpretations over the years.

Going out during Passover for lunch what do you eat?
An individual intent on observing the laws of Passover would most likely avoid any purchase of prepared food from a public source during the holiday. It's possible that in areas with exceptionally large and concentrated Jewish population, a restaurant might change itself over and become certified kosher for Passover. But this is highly unlikely, because the business opportunities would be limited to a total of only four days. To answer the question: It's almost certain that a Jewish person who goes out to eat during Passover, and cares, eats what he has packed and carried in his own brown bag.
How is a modern orthodox Jewish home set up to adhere to the Jewish Dietary Laws?
Here in Israel, homes in religious neighborhoods tend to be designed with two sinks in the kitchen, since in order to keep kosher, we need two sets of dishes (meat and dairy). Those who rent homes outside of Israel and have only one sink, place a plastic sink-insert in the sink as needed.See also the Related Link.

Why is chicken curry and rice kosher food?
Since chicken is meat, if it is kosher slaughtered and prepared as kosher, the combination of spices and chicken may be perfectly legal so long as such items as yoghurt and cream are not used. Rice is a grain, so is neutral in most instances. It is NOT kosher during the feast of Passover for Ashkenazi and some Sephardi and Mizrachi groups as rice and some of the spices used are considered kitniyot (items that appear similar to the forbidden grains), so is not eaten during that holiday.

What do you mean you talk about kosher foods?
The word kosher means 'fit'. When describing food as kosher, this means that the food in question is considered fit for eating by religiously observant Jews.
Many people believe that food is made kosher when a Rabbi blesses it, however, this is false. In order for food to be kosher, the food has to be prepared following the laws of kashrut. Food that is not prepared following these laws cannot be made kosher after the fact.

Foods that are neither meat nor dairy are called pareve (also "parevine") in Judaism. This means that they contain absolutely no meat or dairy derivatives, and have not been cooked or mixed with any meat or dairy foods. The reason behind needing to know if foods are pareve or not is that Jewish law prohibits mixing meat and milk. Pareve foods can be eaten together with either meat or dairy foods. Common pareve foods are eggs, fish, fruit, vegetables, grains and juices in their natural, unprocessed state. Processed pareve foods typically include pasta, soft drinks, coffee and tea, and many types of candy and snacks. Processed products, however, must have reliable kashruth supervision. Dark chocolate might be pareve; milk chocolate definitely is not. Although commercially produced pareve breads are more widely available than before, care must be taken to be absolutely sure they are certified "pareve" by reliable supervision (trust us, you don't want to make a salami sandwich on bread containing whey). Fruits and veggies must be checked to ensure against the presence of small insects and larvae (yum!). Eggs must also be checked for blood spots (fertilization).

When do the Jewish eat Kosher?
Although challah can be eaten anytime, it's traditionally eaten during Shabbat, the Jewish Sabbath. Please note that if you ever see a recipe for challah that calls for milk, butter, or any dairy ingredients, it's not a true challah recipe. Because challah is eaten during Shabbat, when meat is normally eaten, it must be pareve (not containing and dairy or meat or byproducts.).
They are made according to Jewish law and custom, and in cleanrd facilities(never touching what un kosher food has touched)

In Muslim countries why are Muslim drinkers punished but not pork eaters?
Most likely because the harm caused by drinking is not just to the drinker, it can cause harm to others, to society. Drinking impairs the mind and can cause the drinker to make many other mistakes - drunk driving accidents, anger issues, and the list continues.
However, eating pork causes harm only to the person who eats it, not others in society.
