Oh, cool.

Well, it does have cloven hooves, and chews its cud, so...yeah, I don't see why not.

Nope. It's still mixing meat and dairy. And it's not just Orthodox Jews that are kosher, y'know.

insane_idoru: That's odd. You'd think "You shall not roast a calf in its mother's milk" would imply only "no meat & milk from the same species or generic type of animal."

Any idea why it extends to say, goat cheese on hamburger or cow cheese on buffalo/bison burger?

Same as every recipe with beef. It's just more lean, so if you're depending upon the fat, just watch it cook with more diligence.

It's milk and meat in general.

I work with Native American Jews every day, and I'm really getting a hoot out of all these posts. You farkers think you are experts on everything, but trust me, you're not. You don't have the faintest clue what you are talking about. So next time, think before you type, because some people will believe anything they hear...
 
2006-05-10 5:00:57 PM  
Insane idoru - thanks for the info. I don't know nuthin bout judaism except the general knowledge stuff that everybody knows, and that's probably half wrong.

No meat of any kind with dairy? Or only mammal meat? I mean, turkey and swiss can't be wrong, can it? Please say it's ok.

So Tonto & the Lone Ranger were tracking a cattle rustler.

Tonto gets off his horse, and puts his ear to the ground. He stands up and says..."Buffalo come."

Lone Ranger says, "Wow. Tonto that's amazing. How do you know?"

"Ear sticky."

Sorry. Bird is considdered meat in the "not with milk" rules.

Fish isn't, though - you can have a tuna melt. Fish just need to have scales and gills. Dolphins, shellfish, shark - all verboten.

A man boards an airplane, and takes his seat. As he settles in, he glances up and sees the most beautiful woman boarding the plane. He soon realizes she is heading straight towards his seat. A wave of nervous anticipation washes over him. Lo and behold, she takes the seat right beside his. Anxious to strike up a conversation, he blurts out, "So where are you flying to today?"

She turns and smiles, and says, "To the annual Nymphomaniac Convention, in Chicago."

He swallows hard, and is instantly crazed with excitement. Here's the most gorgeous woman he has ever seen, sitting right next to him, and she's going to a meeting of nymphomaniacs. Struggling to maintain his outward cool, he calmly asks, "And what's your role at this convention?"

She flips her hair back, turns to him, locks onto his eyes, and says, "Well, I try to debunk some of the popular myths about sexuality."

"Really" he says, swallowing hard. "And what myths are those?"

She explains: "Well, one popular myth is that African American men are the most well-endowed when, in fact, it is the Native American Indian who is most likely to possess this trait. Another popular myth is that Frenchmen are the best lovers, when actually it is men of Jewish descent who romance women best, on average."

"Very interesting," the man responds.

Suddenly, the woman becomes very embarrassed, and blushes. "I'm sorry," she says, "I feel so awkward discussing this with you, and I don't even know your name."

The man extends his hand and replies, "Tonto. Tonto Goldstein."

Thank you. Try the pemican.

I'm here all week.

My friends joke that I'm Jewish because I keep kosher more than my truely Jewish friends do. Every time one of my friends yells 'hey Jewbean(long story)!' across a crowded place I'm afraid we're going to offend someone.

The written torah is but a part of Jewish law. the bulk is the oral tradition, as was later written down in the mishnah and the talmud. To an believing Jew, not mixing diary and meat is not an "extension" of the Torah, but the actual Torah itself. In Judaism, talmud trumps written torah any time for the daily practicalities.

It's religion. If you want to play, don't ask questions and don't try using that dangerous logic stuff, just shut up and do what the creepy weirdo tells you.

Priest: Great Wall of Prophecy, reveal to us God's will, that we may blindly obey.
Worshippers: Free us from thought and responsibility.
Priest: We shall read things off you...
Worshippers: ...and do them.
Priest: Your words guide us.
Worshippers: We're dumb.

Actually, for a long time (and Mormons still believe this, I think, I dunno), people thought native Americans were the lost tribe of Israel.

They also thought that there were two black people on Noahs Ark. As animals. This was pre-Darwin, so next time a fundie equates Darwinism with racism, toss that at em.

Buffalo burgers are tasty, and leaner than beef. On another plus, Bison do not eat grass the same way as cows. Cows actually dig up the grass as they eat it, but bison leaves the roots, allowing the grass to re-grow. So eating Bison is actually more environmental.
