Cookbook talk:Kosher
It would be interesting if you could provide the actual passages. Interpretation of Kosher may be at least partially subjective, but the passages themselves are not.
Additionally, it would be beneficial to find an image of the symbols used to denote a product is Kosher.

There are restrictions on plants, such as eating fruit from trees only after they are at least three years old, but I do not know the details.

Hey there is a certain type of apple which isn't kosher figure what it is called please
I think it might be called ______ shiny apple
Also there is a certain of lettuce maybe it was cabbage which contains so many bugs it is impossible to remove the bugs.
Fruit from a tree less than three years old is not permitted. In practice I've never heard of anyone refusing fruit bought in a store. There are enough symbols to fill a few pages (for example every country has its own set) , but the most widespread is the OU or Orthodox Union symbol. I this this might make an ideal image. All fruits/vegetables are kosher. Some choose not to eat lettuce and cabbage because of the effort required to ensure the food free of insects. I've never heard of this 'shiny apple'. 71.106.118.239 05:19, 6 April 2006 (UTC)userbeliever
Also the
Catfish
[edit source]Since when do catfish not have fins? --Gbleem 23:06, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
Catfish do have fins but are bottom feeders, which are not allowed. Incedentally, correct placement/number of fins is also required, as well as visible (not shark- or ray-like) scales. 71.106.118.239 04:59, 6 April 2006 (UTC)userbeliever
Terrible Cookbook in need of improvement
[edit source]This is a really terrible cookbook. The information here is less in depth than the english wikipedia article on kosher, and doesn't have a single recipe. Legitimately, as a religious Jew, I can see no value here for either kosher observant people or non-kosher observant people who want to prepare a kosher meal. This article should be restarted from scratch. TimeEngineer (discuss • contribs) 05:08, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
