Would you eat Kosher...

[Americanhero1]

I have only tried one type of food that is Kosher it is hotdogs that is it

You must have eaten many other things that were as Kosher as the hotdogs. If you look at the packaging on many foods you will see its marked Kosher. The preparation of  food has a great deal to do with it also.

I always laugh when I see anti-Semites saying kosher food is disgusting because they probably ate a tuna fish sandwich for lunch.

I think eggs are kosher too as long as they don't have blood spots in them.

   Actually a lot of things say they are kosher but are not. The second avenue non kosher deli is an example. In Baltimore there is a place called Lennies. They will grill hotdogs that they say are kosher but as soon as they are taken out of the package and hit the grill that is used with cheese and unkosher meets they cease to be kosher. What I would like to see is a restaurant that is less strict, but still adheres to reasonable laws of kosher. One where customers don't have to pay for someone to sit around and supervise all day, but does not do anything blatantly unkosher like serving ham and cooking milk and meat together.

Why are you not allowed to mix Meat with Dairy?
What makes it not kosher?

What makes it not kosher?
We are commanded not to "Cook the baby in the mothers milk", according to the Torah.

This has been taught to mean that we cannot cook meat with cheese or milk. It was for several 'reasons' including that it is a merciful thing, because milk is for the babys goodness, not for its death. And also because the Idol worshipping nations would always cook meat with cheese {sorta like Mexican food}.

From Rambams list of Mitzvahs this is Mitzvah # 195

195) Not to eat meat and milk cooked together Ex. 23:19

23:19 The choicest first-fruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in its mother's milk.

There are many good resources which will explain it...

KEEPING KOSHER

The Torah says: "Do not cook a kid in his mother's milk." These words are found 3 times in the Torah, representing 3 separate prohibitions.

   1. Do not cook meat with milk.

   2. Do not eat meat cooked with milk. (Yes, including cheeseburgers - oh no!)

   3. Do not derive any benefit from meat cooked with milk - even unintentionally!

The reason the Torah uses the words "kid in its mothers milk," is to teach us that even though the main sustenance of the kid is its mothers milk, it is still considered a foreign substance and forbidden to be mixed. Certainly all other milk is forbidden to be cooked with meat.

The Torah's specific wording also limits the prohibition to kosher milk (mother's milk), kosher meat (goat, sheep, cow) and only animals (as opposed to birds). Rabbinic law, however, prohibits all types of meat, and even meat mixed (but not cooked) with milk - since these could easily be confused with the forbidden stuff.

I hope this helps...

It does Thank You

[דוד בן זאב אריה]

I would try it in Israel. Not to say that is all I'd eat or that I'd eat it a lot. You also have to be careful they have treif McDonald's

[Yonathan Ben Yakov]

the cheese at mcdonalds would have to be parve

[Rubystars]

I'm curious about something.

A lot of times there are milk products in non-dairy creamers and soy cheese.

Casein is derived from milk and I don't understand how nondairy creamers can call themselves nondairy when they have casein in them.

[Tzvi Ben Roshel1]

"What I would like to see is a restaurant that is less strict, but still adheres to reasonable laws of kosher."

 You have that today with most Kosher restaurants. Why would you want that anyway? People in a buisness can and do make mistakes, without a supervisor (or someone you can trust) who is to say that they will be honest, or even if they are- that they know the laws correctly. Anyway aren't you a certified Machgiach?

[DownwithIslam]

I would try it, but if they make buisness like the kosher subway, then I would just try it once and then not come again. These places should lower prices, I understand if it is not too low, but still $8 for a 6' sub is not worth it when you have a swarma place next door which gives you a lot of meat for like a doller or 2 more. So my pointer to these places- have good prices, serve good food and people will come. (anyway with Mcdonalds even if I eat their I will very little anyway if it contains the usual things in the food).

Hehe, I know you are referring to Grillpoint on Jewel Avenue. What you are saying is very true.

The Israeli with the McDonalds license in Israel is an extreme leftists activist. I think we should boycott him.

[Lewinsky Stinks, Dr. Brennan Rocks]

DownwithIslam, I wouldn't eat at D___Donald's if my life depended on it. That chemical factory grants whole new meaning to the term "food poisoning". Yimach schmo to the people who run this evil corporation. (But I hope Fag Buchanus and Bill Clinton continue to eat at McD's a lot.)

   Correct me if I'm wrong, but there is only a Kosher Subway in Brooklyn. I don't know of any in the Main Street area.
   Kosher Bite in Baltimore is pretty good. I also like the Falafel at Carmels.

   I'll have to take a trip there on Sunday and bite the bullet to spend $8 for a 6". I'm interesting in trying Shwarma at a subway. Did they get rid of the old place on the corner of Main and Jewel? The one that was across the street from the bus stop.

[Lewinsky Stinks, Dr. Brennan Rocks]

That's sad. Why does it cost eight dollars to get a freaking six-inch sandwich at the NY Subways? In Cali (not an inexpensive state to live), footlongs generally run in the vicinity of $6.45. The above sounds like highway robbery.

 I dont know if they have swarma their. Maybe they do, I dont know.

  I think that place you are speaking about is either the Kosher Subway or the Kosher Wine store (both are new). Some time ago their was a Jewish bookstore their, but they moved right around the corner to a bigger place.

 Its all supply and demand. If one is able and willing, they can make any prices they want as long as they do not force you to buy what they are selling.

[Vito]

My best friend is Israeli, so I've eaten plenty of kosher food. I've had good and bad kosher, it's all relative. Kosher has nothing to do with food tasting good or not though..

   When supply and demand gets out of balance, people look for other solutions. In the case of a Kosher restaurant with a monopoly, the alternative is not to eat kosher, as repulsive as this is, this is the choice that most Jews opt for. If we want to see more people eating kosher, the Kosher restaurants have to remain competitive with not only other Kosher restaurants, but all restaurants. They need to find other solutions to the extra expense than jacking up the price beyond the extra cost. One example would be to pay the Hasgucha on tips rather than a salary. This would encourage him to do a better job also. Keep in mind that some things such as water don't even cost them more. Subway's big thing is the $5.00 footlong. To use the Subway name The Kosher subway should really participate in this promotion even if it is just the veggie patty.
