Is these dishes Kosher?!
The first dish my cousin asked for is stuffed frech toast. The ingredients are eggs, heavy cream, italian bread, cinnamon, syrup, cream cheese and walnuts. Oh an butter for the pan, but I could use something else. Should I look for something specific on the containers that I buy so that I keep it Kosher, I want everyone there to enjoy it.
The other is empanadas served with store bought salsa. The empanada dough is store bought and I know it has lard in it. It doesn't specify what type of lard. It is filled with mozz. cheese and deep fried. Like fried cheese turnovers.
Answers: My cousins' grandfather passed yesterday. I was also very close to him since I was a young child. They are having the meal after the funeral catered, but I asked if I could bring something and my cousins requested two things. One stays Kosher, the other doesn't. But I want to make sure that everyone at the funeral can eat it without question and don't really want to bother them about Kosher food today.

If the empanadas you are interested in is really just fried cheese turnovers, you should have no trouble making them kosher, as long as you make your own dough. Substitute 100% vegetable shortening (or, less ideally, butter) for the lard, and you're in the clear.

" IS THESE '' ?
Yes, the dishes you described are Kosher.
LARD is *NOT* Kosher, as it is pork fat! No Jewish person who keeps kosher would eat it. The more difficult part to get around is the mixing of dairy and meat, which cannot be eaten at the same meal for someone who keeps kosher. So the empanadas would be a no-go, since they mix cheese and meat. Then you have to consider how strict the person who keeps kosher is - some will only eat meat prepared in a kosher fashion, or only if it has been prepared in a kosher kitchen, where the pans are blessed by a rabbi and kept seperate from dishes used to prepare non-kosher food. Good Luck. Perhaps there is another family member who keeps kosher but is not as close to the deceased that could help you out? Or a jewish deli nearby where you could buy some prepared food?
If you don't know what kind of lard, you must assume it is pig. Most lard in the US is pig, anyway.
So of course, this is *NOT* kosher!
Go to a Jewish deli and get food there.
the french toast is kosher style, and would be considered for a dairy meal. there would not be any meat products at this meal. which brings us to the lard in the dumpling dough. if the dumpling were filled with a meat filling, they could be served at a meat meal. now because the lard(meat product) dough is filled with cheese(dairy product), the empanada itself cannot be considered kosher at all. if the entire event is being kept kosher, thenyou should find out what style. simply ask, "meat or dairy"? take it from there. good luck.
