kosher dills have garlic in them,  regular dills do not\n\nQ: What is a ‘kosher pickle?’\nA: The word "kosher" itself is derived from Hebrew and actually means religiously proper or acceptable.  Today, however, for many avid pickle lovers "kosher" has come to mean that garlic flavor has been added. Mt. Olive's pickles are both kosher and kosher: our kosher dills are not only garlic flavored, but they are also produced in accordance with kosher dietary laws. All of our products have the approval of the Jewish Orthodox Congregations of America and carry the widely recognized OU symbol.

To be Kosher the food must be prepared according to the laws of Kashrut - you can find them in the Torah.  Now as to the butchering, there is a class of Orthodox Jewish butchers who do just what you suggest -- take the time to 'kasher' the meats.  Foods that are not kosher are either 'treyf' (absolutely unkosher) or 'pareve' (which is kind of like neutral, neither kosher nor unkosher).  For more info, try the following:\n\nhttp://www.jewfaq.org/kashrut.htm\n\nHope I could help.

I gave up meat.  Seafood only. Last year I gave up pickled beets, but it wasn't much of a sacrifice since I hate pickled beets. This year isn't as easy and therefore more meaningful.

Challah is just the proper name for a braided type of braid traditional to cultural Judaism, and typically used in Seder.\n\nGentiles have found it to be very tasty with turkey, bean sprouts, lettuce, tomato and guacamole.

Food.  Hopefully kosher food, but that depends on how kosher the Jewish person in question happens to be.\n\nFor those who keep kosher all fresh fruits and vegetables are kosher (unless contaminated by bugs).  Fish is kosher if it has both scales and fins.  Meat from properly kosher killed and inspected beef, chicken, turkey, etc is all acceptable.  \n\nPrepared, boxed and canned food will carry a kosher mark on the package if it is kosher.

A cucumber is mostly water. Soaking a cucumber in salt water draws out the water due to osmosis. This is why the pickle looks shriveled.

1 peck = 8 dry quarts\n\nThe question I have is how could Peter Piper pick a peck of pickled peppers?  Wouldn't all the peppers have to have been picked before they were pickled?

I believe that this is one of those things that fall into the category of "things that make you go HHmmmm..."\nSince there is no way to really pickle peppers BEFORE they are picked.  However, my mother told me that when she was a kid the rhyme went like this...\n"Peter Piper picked a peck of pickling peppers"....\nNow that makes a little more sense.

I am not sure of the flavor, but the ice cream would be kosher and on the label it would say "O taste and see that the LORD is good.  Psalm 34:8"

The world of kosher encompasses the history of a people and enriches countless Jewish homes around the globe. The mitzvah of kosher transforms food into a vehicle for holiness, making the kitchen the spiritual hub of the home.\n\nThe laws of kosher detail the permitted and forbidden animals, fish, and fowl, and describe the separation of dairy and meat. A significant part of Jewish observance is associated with food, from the dietary laws to the saying of blessings before and after eating, from the celebration of holidays to the agricultural laws governing food from Israel. Kosher is an all-encompassing way of life, whether at home, on the job, or eating out. Through kosher observance, every activity associated with food becomes an opportunity for spiritual refinement.\n\nNot too long ago, nearly all Jews adhered to the dietary laws without ever asking, “Why keep kosher?” It was the Jewish thing to do. Only those who deliberately rebelled against the ways of their parents and grandparents would have eaten traif, non-kosher food. Today the situation has largely reversed, in that Jews who have no thought of rebellion and even identify proudly as Jews eat every kind of non-kosher food. It requires thought and effort to keep kosher.\n\nOur thinking has changed to the extent that we no longer know why Judaism places such emphasis on eating and drinking, basic necessities shared not only by all mankind but by animals as well. We ask, “Does G-d really care what I eat?” Without a satisfactory explanation for kosher and without the simple faith based on Torah values that characterized former generations, many Jews conclude that keeping kosher is simply obsolete – that it is based upon ancient health precautions which no longer apply to modern life.\n\nWe therefore offer some of the insights into the mitzvah of kosher provided by Jewish tradition. These insights satisfy our need for understanding and motivate us to keep the mitzvoth of the Torah in the face of opposing values from contemporary culture. Nevertheless, it should be understood that the commandments are Divine in origin and can never be fully comprehended by human intellect. We keep the mitzvoth because they are G-d’s gift to the Jewish people.\n\n“Religion,” as everyone knows, deals with prayer, meditation, charity, ethics and sometimes various forms of self-denial. Judaism, however, encompasses every aspect of life. Our most ordinary daily activities become imbued with holiness when we follow the Torah dictum to “know Him in all your ways.” (Proverbs 3:6)\n\nKosher represents the meeting of body and soul. The Torah tells us not to reject the physical but rather to sanctify it. We sanctify the act of eating with kosher food and blessings before and after eating. Kosher food is the diet of spiritual nutrition for the Jewish neshamah, (soul). It is designed to bring refinement and purification to the Jewish people.\n\nWhat does this mean? Modern nutritional science recognizes what Judaism has always taught that to a large extent we are what we eat. We know that the food we eat is absorbed into our flesh and blood. Forbidden foods are referred to in the Torah as abominations to the G-dly soul, elements that detract from our spiritual sensitivity. Birds of prey and carnivorous animals, having the power to influence the eater with aggressive attributes, are among the foods that are forbidden. For a Jew, all non-kosher food diminishes one’s spiritual sensitivity, reducing the ability to absorb concepts of Torah and mitzvoth. Both mind and heart are affected.\n\nIt is easy to see why kosher is often considered the most far-reaching of all the mitzvoth. History demonstrates that when kosher observance is strong, Jewish identity remains strong.\n\nTo explain the power of kosher food, we must turn to Chassidic teachings based upon the mysticism of the Ari-Zal (Rabbi Yitzchak Luria). The Ari-Zal gave a literal interpretation of the verse, “Man does not live by
