3 classifications of food for keeping kosher
Meat - Red meat and poultry Dairy - All milk and milk products Parve - Neither milk nor meat. This includes what would be considered vegan (veggies, grains, fruits) but also fish and eggs. So a chicken is meat, but a chicken egg is sort of a vegetable. You cannot mix any meat and any milk, supposedly so that you do not mix the meat of an animal with it's mother's milk. But this includes 'all' meats. This means that you cannot mix poultry with milk, even though you can't milk a chicken. We were eating and talking about latkes last night. Some people argued for the food processor and others for the mandoline. A lot of Jewish food is about texture, and this extends to foods like latkes (potato pancakes) and matzoh balls. For latkes there are preferences for coarse and fine, and for matzoh balls there is a choice between hard with the consistency of meatballs and a fluffier sponge cake consistency. Ask two Jewish mothers for the right way to make latkes and you will get three answers. And I once listened to a sermon, part of which was why eating a chicken cheesesteak is ok even though 2000 years of tradition says it's not.
