Common Questions About Kosher
Can I eat meat and cheese together?
No. Kosher law fully separates meat and dairy, including separate utensils and a waiting period between them.
What is pareve?
Neutral food that is neither meat nor dairy, such as eggs, fish, fruits, vegetables, and grains.
Why is pork forbidden?
Kosher animals must have split hooves and chew the cud. Pigs do not meet both criteria, so pork is forbidden.
Is all fish kosher?
Only fish with both fins and scales. That excludes shellfish, shrimp, and catfish.
How long do I wait between meat and dairy?
Customs vary, usually between one and six hours, with three hours common among many communities.
