Man, I can't wait. Gonna have calamari, breaded shrimp, shrimp soup, sole, octopus, oysters and more.

Sounds real Kosher ;P

We always eat a ham on Easter. My inlaws throw a Catholic Pork Smorgasbord on Easter morning: ham, kielbasa and kielbasa loaf.


Which makes me think. Can I imagine Yeshua digging on pork? He goes and pays a ransom for me and I celebrate it by eating something that would have made him unclean.

Tofu,

Do you eat pork?

Do you eat pork?

I avoid it, but I'm not quite as crazy about it as most Jews.

Like if I am at someone's house, and they put it in front of me, I will eat it as not to offend them.

But I do eat cheese and meat together :P
(Seriously, nothing in the Torah says you can't)

Sounds real Kosher ;P
What exactly is Kosher anyway? Is it just food that's been blessed or what?

My "goooood friday" happened last night with my new gal.

I love pinning her to the corner and...........

as described in detail in the O.T. ceremonial Law, specific to the Jews of that time

Deuteronomy 14 provides a summary

You shall not eat any detestable thing. These are the animals which you may eat: the ox, the sheep, the goat, the deer, the gazelle, the roe deer, the wild goat, the mountain goat, the antelope, and the mountain sheep. And you may eat every animal with cloven hooves, having the hoof split into two parts, and that chews the cud, among the animals. Nevertheless, of those that chew the cud or have cloven hooves, you shall not eat, such as these: the camel, the hare, and the rock hyrax; for they chew the cud but do not have cloven hooves; they are unclean for you. Also the swine is unclean for you, because it has cloven hooves, yet does not chew the cud; you shall not eat their flesh or touch their dead carcasses.

These you may eat of all that are in the waters: you may eat all that have fins and scales. And whatever does not have fins and scales you shall not eat; it is unclean for you. All clean birds you may eat. But these you shall not eat: the eagle, the vulture, the buzzard, the red kite, the falcon, and the kite after their kinds; every raven after its kind; the ostrich, the short-eared owl, the sea gull, and the hawk after their kinds; the little owl, the screech owl, the white owl, the jackdaw, the carrion vulture, the fisher owl, the stork, the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe and the bat.

Also every creeping thing that flies is unclean for you; they shall not be eaten. You may eat all clean birds. You shall not eat anything that dies of itself; you may give it to the alien who is within your gates, that he may eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner; for you are a holy people to the LORD your God. You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.

Thank you but I thought that the old law was broken?

My cousins, aunt and uncle and their in laws all have two kitchens to keep the meat and the dairy separate...

Cant recall the passage but something about cooking the calf in the mothers milk or something like that....

But they do eat pork...so go figure.

Now for my ex-wifes family, anything goes. They did not care about kosher but they did eat a lot of traditional foods. (I could not stand fried matzoh, I swear she made it wrong, nothing tasted that bad, as well as that pickled fish)

mmmmmm... somethings just get better every year, or maybe you just learn to appreciate them more with age. At any rate, great meal!!

I'm making Easter Soup. I doubt anyone here will know what that means.

Yeh, thats rabbinic "Kosher", not really in the Torah. They took what was a pretty straight forward command of what not to do, and made it mean something completely different: you can't eat a cheeseburger.

Anyway, here are the passages you were thinking of:

Exo 23:19 The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.

Exo 34:26 The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring unto the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.

Deu 14:21 Ye shall not eat of any thing that dieth of itself: thou shalt give it unto the stranger that is in thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto an alien: for thou art a holy people unto the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.
