acceptable under Jewish law

Hebrew for "fit" or "proper." In Judaic culture, kosher refers to the proper methods of food preparation and the dietary laws governing its consumption. Kosher or non-kosher can refer to the very nature of certain foods, as well as the various combinations thereof. For example, pork is not kosher and shellfish is not kosher. Beef is kosher as long as the animal is slaughtered properly, and cow's milk is kosher. But the mixing of meat and dairy products is never kosher. "Keeping kosher" is important, not only because it would seem to address some apparent health issues, but because certain foods are associated with certain cultures (the goyim, or "the foreign nations"). Also, the mixing of certain foods is not unlike a metaphor for cultural, ethnic and religious assimilation. For the orthodox Jew, the experience of assimilation is like that of exile; it is nothing short of a loss of identity.

The word kosher means proper or pure. In Judaism the term is used to mean what is ritually correct, but is most widely applied to food that is in accordance with strict Jewish dietary laws contained in the Torah. Kosher rituals pertain not only to the type of food that may be eaten, but to the kinds of food that can be combined, and the specific methods of preparation as supervised by a rabbi.
