Who here keeps Kosher?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

Just wondering. I, not being Jewish, do not btw.

[benburch]

1. I keep Kosher Pickles in the 'fridge. nt

[ET Awful]

4. I was gonna say exactly the same thing :) n/t

[Spider Jerusalem]

2. Kosher hot dogs. Always have 'em on hand.

That's it, but then, I'm not Jewish, either...

[Richard Steele]

3. Only for Passover at my GFs folks' house!

[khashka]

5. Sometimes...

which is odd since I'm not Jewish....

Khash.
(well not really Jewish)

[ScreamingMeemie]

6. Our Jewish neighbors eat their pepperoni pizza in the garage. Does that

count? :hi:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

7. Wow. aren't they forbidden to have meat and dairy touch?

[ScreamingMeemie]

16. Yes, but they "feel" that that should only be practiced "inside" their

home. Go figure. I still think they're going to Hell. ;) :hi:

8. Trying to avoid corn syrup in sodas

This is strictly for health reasons, though - not because I'm observing kosher law. I usually grab diet drinks, but once in a while I'll snag a Dublin Dr. Pepper (pure sugar, no corn syrup) or some Coca-Cola bottled for Passover (ditto).

11. What is the kashrut problem with corn syrup?

Never heard that one.

[derby378]

12. Not sure - I think you can't mix corn sweetners with sucrose (n/t)

[LeftyMom]

13. Have you tried Whole Foods store brand?

Thier store brand sodas are all sweetened with cane sugar. Good stuff, and only $2 for a 6pk. :)

Edit: Oh, and Virgil's root beer, which is almost better than the three letter word we can't start threads about. Costco has pony kegs for $10.

9. I being half Jewish

do not. I do, however, at relatives homes and during holidays.

[Ellen Forradalom]

14. Which half?

Top or bottom?

[Amaya]

15. I'd say top

:)

[Ellen Forradalom]

10. I don't.

The basic ideas are simple enough, but the implementation gets technical quickly. Those who do keep Kosher vary widely in how strictly they adhere to rabbinic law on dietary matters.
