Why The Kosher Meals Are Different From Others

By Harold Thomas


Every time a foreigner walks into a particular country, they cannot help but notice that they are different in ways one cannot begin to imagine. People living in these countries owe it to their ancestors to guide them in making certain decisions that pertains to maintaining their cultural heritage. As a result, they will always work towards making time in honor of such events. The best way they can accomplish this is by wearing particular attires or preparing special cuisines that can only be acquired during these special occasions. It is no wonder kosher meals qualify as special delicacies.

According to the bible, foods that were prepared from animals that chew cud or have hooves were considered to be holy. Also, fish that has fins and removable scales qualify as koshers. This entirely means that animals such as rabbits, owls, dogs and cats are not considered to be koshers. In fact, the only types of birds that are regarded as koshers must be ones that do not kill others for food.

People are required to follow a specific procedure while preparing this type of food. Since most of them are mammals and fishes, they need to be slaughtered in manner that is acceptable. Most butchers are experienced and know how to go about the ritual so that the meal comes out in the exact manner for which it was intended. The meat is separated from the skin in readiness for cooking by roasting or boiling.

During the biblical times, ordained priests and rabbis were given the opportunity to recite prayers so that the meals can be blessed. This was mostly done during events such as the Passover feasts. Now, people only need to say a prayer before they can consume their meal.

The Jewish law is very particular on the manner in which foods are cooked. Of course, most Jews observe the Passover day by consuming these foods. However, they are not restricted to eating them during the occasion alone. They can keep consuming these foods as long as they observe the restrictions.

Even though slaughtering an animal entails a lot of cumbersome activities, people need to warm up to the fact that butchers are taking keen measures to ensure that the meat reaches the people in good conditions. The meat and fisheries departments always make regular visits to the slaughterhouses to check whether they meat is safe for human consumption.

Most hotels and restaurants approve of the foods and that is why they include meat, chicken, fish and vegetables in their menus. They are prepared according to modern standards. The customer needs to make proper arrangements since it takes time to prepare and serve the food.

It is believed that these mammals, selected birds and fishes only consume plants. They do not need to prey on other animals to survive. As a result, they qualify as the best meals that the bible recommends. People need to try these delicacies so that they can appreciate value for nutrition.
