I'm throwing a party, but my friend is Jewish. Says he can't eat pork?!

MJ,

The word "Kosher" is used to describe what those of the Jewish faith can consume. They are living under the old covenant with God and must eat according to the Old Testament.

They can eat beef, but it must be Kosher cuts and never from the rear portions of the cow. This is why in cities with large Jewish populations, like New York, you have have regular butcher stores and you have "Kosher" butcher stores. When shopping you will sometimes see prepared foods that are declared Kosher, a prime example is the Kosher brand hotdogs.

I would suggest just serving a choice of BBQ pork or BBQ chicken, and would say nothing to anyone about the reason. I am not Jewish, but I would rather have the chicken, because I am more of a chicken and beef kind of guy.

When you "truly" accept someone as a friend, and not just a buddy, you accept all they bring with them, including their religion. To make him appear "different" in front of other people is not being a true friend. So don't forget a jar of Kosher pickles and have a good time.

Thats true Jewish people cannot have pork, ham, bacon or anything from a pig. It takes place in the old testament when God told the israelites that they should on eat animals that chew their cud. But you can feed him cow. Cause it chews its cud. Do a steak type of sandwich. Like shredded beef with some fresh fruits.

Hope i helped!

You've got to be kidding. Pork, pig, bbq , it's all from pig. The dietary laws are from the Bible. Jewish law prevents any Jew from eating pork of any kind. Cook you friend some bar-b-QEDbeef ribs. Your other friends will wish you served them the ribs too. Go to : allrecipes.com for recipe suggestions.

iNSTEAD OF bbq PORK, why not have BBQ CHICKEN instead then he can enjoy the party and won't be out of place......How would you feel if you went to a party and everyone else was eating steak and you couldn't, so they just gave you a cheese sandwich instead....

Have some sloppy joes made with beef or ground turkey or have some pulled chicken and add BBQ sauce to it for anyone who would choose to eat healthier.

You should not call him a friend and make fun of him too, you know ham is pork

Why not have a vegetarian option? You might have vegetarian guests, too, and vegetarian food is almost by definition kosher.

MJ, he can't have ham either! Now, go the vegetarian route like some people have said, but not completely. Give him a BLT. A little bacon never hurt anyone.

no, because ham comes from pig. try another meat, other than pig product. x

dont have that...theres a million things out there other than pork. Salmon, Fish, beef, Beef Roast....and on and on.

Yes give him ham sandwiches.

Ham is pork you idiot.

yes.

you

Dude, Hebrew National hot dogs are DA BOMB!!!
