Kosher food is food that meets Jewish dietary laws!. Any food can be called kosher food if it adheres to Jewish law!.
A kosher food that is processed or cooked together with a non-kosher food, or any derivative of a non-kosher food, becomes non-kosher!. For example, food coloring derived from a shellfish and used in a cake makes the cake non-kosher!.
Pork, rabbit, eagle, owl, catfish, sturgeon, and any shellfish, insect or reptile are non-kosher!.
Other species of meat and fowl must be slaughtered in a prescribed manner to be kosher!.
Meat and dairy products may not be made or consumed together!.
Hope this helps xoxoWww@FoodAQ@Com

Here's what I've come to understand via my husbands family (orthodox jews)!. Kosher food is guided by rabbinical law, it's based off of writing in the torah, but has been further expounded upon by rabbis over time!. Kosher food is food that's been produced and have met the standards under rabbinical supervision (variety of people doing this)!. Some food are not kosher from the start such as shellfish, pork, predators, fish w/o scales and any meats that haven't been ritually slaughtered!. Food is separated into two categories Meat and Milk (veggies, eggs and fish are neutral-can be eaten with either)!. Foods from these categories cannot be served with the other!. So you can't use butter in potatoes that you serve with steak!. All food has to be prepared in separate pans, eaten with different dishes and utensils!. No milk food on meat plates!. Even the sinks, sponges and ovens are considered kosher and unkosher!. You can't cook meat products in the milk oven/mircowave!. Some orthodox jews will set up two kitchens to make it easier, but most create a complex system of covering things as their being cooked!. Really it comes down to the individual, everyone has their own interpretation of their religion, including the kosherness of something!. I hope this helped!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
If you have access to a Bible - the Old Testament part at the beginning, you'll find the third part or book!. is called Leviticus!.
Leviticus chapter 11 gives a list of things which the Israelites (Jews) were not allowed to eat and it is among these that you find the reference to pig which most non-Jews know are forbidden (not kosher)!.
To determine which animal is OK to eat, you need to remember that they must have a cloven hoof, like a cow; they must chew the cud, like a cow!.
So - forbidden because they don't measure up to the above are things like rabbit, hare and horse!.
Fish - they must have scales and fins!. So out go the shellfish, eel, shark (no scales)
Animals of prey - big no to lions, tigers, etc (they don't chew the cud anyway!) and the flying predators, like osprey, raven, (I've no idea why swan is "out" but duck is "in", ostrich is "out" but chicken is OK)
All must be slaughtered with a single slash across the throat using an unblemished knife (no notches which might slow the clean sweep)
Surprisingly, Jews can eat locusts, grasshopper and beetle!
The mention about not eating meat and milk in the same meal - this stems from the prohibition of "thou shalt not seeth the kid in its mother's milk"!. I've always seen that as "don't add insult to injury" but it stops a Jew having ice-cream after a steak!. It also means that many Jews have two fridges - one for meat and one for milk, two sets of crockery and cutlery (plus another 2 for Passover), two dishwashers, 2 sinks, 2 food preparation surfaces, 2 sets of all kitchen utensils and pans, and the very wealthy will have two separate kitchens to keep preparation of meat and milk separate!.

They are a set of rules that determines what Jewish people should or shouldn't eat, how to eat it and even how to produce it and/or cook it!. Lots of them are easy to follow, like not eating pork or shellfish, other's are more complicated, like not to eat meat with milk or other dairy products i!.e!. lasagna would be a no no because it has beef but also white sauce made with milk!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
i thought kosher meat was killed by hanging up the animal and cutting its throat, so alot of the blood drains out, but one of the answers said its humane i always thought it to be very cruel, but if your not of a particular religion then there is no need to eat it, it taste different to the normal meat we are used to, it has a bland taste not a lot of flavour, like most Jewish food its all very taste lessWww@FoodAQ@Com
Kosher foods are foods that have followed all the Jewish guidelines and are prepared following those guidelines!. Poultry and meat must be slaughtered a certain way!. In order for fish to be kosher, it must have fins and easily removable scales!. I hope this helps!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Kosher food is for Jewish people i!.e to assure them that all meet products for sale is kosher it means done on the Jewish way, i!.e!. this meet is pure beef slotted on there way and not just killed, and there is no pigs fat or meet in it, the same goes with the Muslim more or less but they call it Halal food!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
When I visited Israel a few years ago I was surprised to see kosher orange juice!. I asked the person who was drinking it what was special about it and he said that the fruit was inspected to be sure it didn't have any worms in it!. Worms being a non-kosher form of meat :-)Www@FoodAQ@Com
It means the food has been prepared according to Jewish law!. A lot of people have said it's more humane, but the proper kosher way to slaughter an animal is considered to be extremely inhumane as the animal can die slowly versus a very fast death!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Kosher foods are food items that are made by Jewish people which contain no artificial ingredients nor any preservatives!. For example: beef sausage would contain only pure beef and natural spices; no "fillers" nor any other product that is not beef!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
