- gotocake 8y agoSpeaking as a Jew, while this is accurate, it’s not that common in the US among non-orthodox families. There was a poll of American Jews a while ago that found less than a quarter keep kosher.

- markdown 8y agoIs it really that hard to find kosher beef in US restaurants? What about halal beef?
- bobthepanda 8y agoAll the beef has to be kosher. Not only that, but the kosher requirements (no dairy and meat together), depending on how kosher you are, also to apply to the plates the meal is served on, the equipment the meal is cooked on, and food storage areas; you need strictly segregated facilities, and washing between uses does not make it kosher. The requirements are strict to the point where rabbis have to regularly certify kosher restaurants as kosher.
- markdown 8y agoI see. Thanks for the insight.
- xienze 8y agoThat reminds me of the time I was in Jerusalem on Saturday (the Sabbath, so like everything was closed) and I stumbled upon a restaurant that reveled in being as un-kosher as possible: the main menu item was cheeseburgers and of course they were open on Saturdays. There were probably other things they did that rubbed people the wrong way because apparently the restaurant had been firebombed at one point.
- empath75 8y agoCalling American cheese ‘dairy’ is a little generous.
- badfrog 8y agoWhy would you say that? The legal minimum is 51% cheese. https://www.thedailymeal.com/eat/what-exactly-american-cheese https://www.thedailymeal.com/eat/what-exactly-american-chees...
