What exactly is an actual Kosher diet?
And what you are allowed and not allowed to have?
Don't mean to sound ignorant but I really wouldn't know this unless someone would tell me.
-
Are non Jews like myself, required, recommended or doesn't matter that we follow this?

Non Jews are not requiered to keep Kosher. Except for the fact that they must not eat any meat taken from an animal which was still alive when the meat was removed.
-
Kosher is just Jewish dietary laws like for example they can't mix dairy products with meat. So Jews can't eat chesseburgers or lasagna.

It's pretty much impossible to know what goes on in a slaughterhouse.

OK thanks but being that I am Christian, as far as diet ( I don't mean for health reasons ) does it really not matter what diet I follow?
-
TY Lisa, but am still trying to learn this stuff. Besides cheeseburgers, what else is to be avoided?
-
In a nutshell, Masterwolf, shellfish and pork are off limits to Jews, as are any of the kosher animals who have not been slaughtered properly.
But Christians are not required to keep these dietary laws, so I wouldn't worry about it.
-
OK but what if there are some Jews that don't follow this, I have seen plenty in my time that eat say pork products or seafood. What happens to them? I am just wondering.
-
Most animals killed in slaughterhouses are killed relatively humanely. Of course the exceptions end up on PETA videos.
I thought that part about not eating meat from a live animal had to do with things like dismembering an animal one limb at a time and eating its leg while the animal was still alive, or something like that.

Masterwolf, have you ever eaten in any of the kosher restaurants in Queens?

I think that the last Torah portion mentioned the types of insects that can be eaten :::D

It was next to that 711 a corner place I had to go down towards Main and stopped there to get something falafel sammie. Wasn't bad

Jews CAN eat lasagna. Who says it has meat in it?
It has ground meat. Are you telling me it doesn't?
However, Jews can eat vegetarian lasagna, obviously.

Oh, I think thats GrillPoint hehe. I think they have mostly Israeli workers but they do have a few illegals as well which I am not comfortable with.

This was several months ago I don't remember who worked there. But guys I am also use to true traditional Italian cuisine. Is there anything that we make that would be considered for Kosher eats?

Only meat lasagna has ground meat in it.
The original lasagna recipe has ground meat, so there you go.

MW, I think I've passed a couple of Kosher Italian restaurants in Great Neck, but have never eaten there. You could try them, but I doubt they live up to the standard of great authentic Italian cuisine. If you want to try some good kosher Jewish food, you can always check out Ben's Deli at www.bensbest.com or www.bensdeli.net. O0

My late grandmother (Lord rest her soul) can make a lasagna you lick the plate clean off

Mmm sounds great! What kind? The traditional one?
Talking about lasagna I once had a great seafood one! It was amazing!
A Jewish one can use fish instead of meat. I think I actually had a frozen one to cook in the microwave with "veggie meat filling" and it was actually from fish, not vegetarian. But that was back in 1997.
Yacov, you can remember what you ate back in '97? I can't even remember two days ago, unless I keep my journal.
