Countless Options Are Possible With Kosher Meals

By Lela Perkins


Innumerable people follow kosher dietary rules. Although some types of foods are not permitted, there is an abundance of food that is available to individuals who require kosher meals. Many Jewish people make such meals in their kitchens at home, but countless restaurants also adhere to kosher guidelines. Even various military branches and commercial airlines offer acceptable choices to those who may not eat outside of the traditional dietary parameters.

Certain foods, like rabbit meat, pork, and some types of fish, cannot be eaten, according to kosher dietary rules. Other meats, such as deer, cow, and goat meat, may be eaten. Jewish people may also acceptably eat some kinds of birds. In the same meal, dairy foods and meat may not be served. It is important for those who must adhere to the guidelines to be aware of what the rules and boundaries are.

Cooking utensils must also be maintained according to custom. A pan cannot be used to prepare both meat and dairy foods, even if they are not prepared at the same time. The same concept is true of utensils such as plates and bowls that are used to hold food, and from which people eat.

Within the guidelines, there is a tempting array of foods that can be cooked, prepared and served. On a daily basis, numerous people prepare such foods in their home kitchens. A typical lunch could include boiled chicken eggs, pea soup, and salad. Dinner might consist of a side dish of celery and carrots, and a main dish of brisket of beef.

Countless restaurants are pleased to serve the proper foods to their Jewish diners. Many places prepare and cook exclusively kosher foods. A family could go to a restaurant to enjoy the Hungarian beef stew known as goulash. Office workers might frequent a favorite neighborhood delicatessen, ordering such things as pastrami sandwiches and bagels with cream cheese.

People may order catered meals that Jewish people can eat, for a wide variety of events. One might request an array of catered dishes, such as mushroom puffs and spicy chicken wings, to serve after a pool party. The individual planning a formal business luncheon may select such things as freshly baked bread, sushi rolls, and platters with vegetables and fruit. Dessert platters could be provided for children at an afternoon gathering, with tempting items that include cookies, pastries and slices of chocolate cake.

Commercial airline companies and branches of the military have been known to accommodate the dietary needs of Jewish people. When meals are served on an airplane flight, individuals who have requested the kosher option may dine within the established guidelines. A meal on a flight might consist of a grain, vegetables, and meat that is acceptable. In various military branches, special meals might be made available to enlisted men and women who must follow the dietary boundaries of the Jewish religion.

Whether one is making dinner at home, dining out, or flying across the country, eating properly does not have to be an issue. Those who require kosher meals have a wide range of appealing options to consider. From sliced beef, to chocolate cake, to warm bread, there is an abundance of choices from which Jewish people may select.
