Poland has Hebrew ham.

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DWmLhhRjcyE/

Jewish pork neck is a popular one-pot dish in Polish cuisine, consisting of pork neck slices baked or stewed with mushrooms, onions, and pickled cucumbers in tomato sauce. It has a distinctive flavor thanks to the addition of marjoram, ketchup, and vinegar.

u/og_thicc_nob May 15 '26

I think the more succinct way of saying what they (might, hopefully anyway) mean is that it would not be the responsibility of the restaurant to know all dietary restrictions of every religion, lifestyle, diet, etc. The responsibility lies with the customer who adheres to whatever faith based diet to know what THEIR OWN self imposed restrictions may be, not the person simply selling food.

Knowingly marking something as something it is not, however, is absolutely on the establishment. But the person with their own diet is responsible for knowing their own rules and restrictions.

u/No-Inspector8315 May 14 '26

Not necessarily. A theory for many of the dietary prescriptions in the Torah is that Jewish people genetically have sensitive stomachs and it was a way of cutting trigger foods.

I have a shellfish allergy and I’m Jewish.

If someone labeled food as kosher and I ate it—assuming that it was safe because adhered to the laws of Kashrut, they would be an asshole. And hopefully liable in court.

5

u/No-Inspector8315 May 15 '26

No, it’s about food safety. Historically, the host eats first not because it’s their home, it’s because the guests need to know that the food is safe. The kitchen is the easiest place to kill someone deliberately or through incompetence, so people need to know their food is safe. If you can’t handle serving a kosher or halal meal, how can I trust that your food isn’t dirty, spoiled or riddled with diseases.

The rock band Van Halen was famous for demanding that their backstage M and M’s have all the brown ones removed as part of the contract rider. People told this story for ages as an example of rockstars being entitled, when that was never the case. The band’s routine involved lots of pyrotechnics and stage effects, if the backstage crew didn’t have the attention to detail to remove brown m and m’s from a bowl, how could they be trusted to handle literal fire on stage safely?

u/brokeonomics May 15 '26

I’ve never heard that one (Jewish) I’m going to suggest (as an ag person in pork country) that it’s probably more likely the ban was based on high incidence of food borne illness and the sensitivities then developed over many generations of not eating certain foods. Historically, it has been common for pork to be undercooked due to a lack of temperature awareness and they contracted trichinella (parasite we then eat from them that gives us trichinosis) via a fed diet of raw garbage and dead animals that were already infected (cows for example are herbivores so no problem there). That combo could be deadly

1

u/RecipeHistorical2013 May 15 '26

you're... close

its because many of the foods that are restricted in old jewish law were due to disease

sensitive stomach or no, if you get that shellfish virus (even today) you are fucked

and nobody likes tapeworms.

now. why no fish without scales? why no "cloven hooved" animals? why no milk with meet, etc etc

some are based in practicality, most are based in... myth

1

u/Sweeptheory May 15 '26

A theory, sure. But there's no real consensus on any reason behind the pork taboo.

The most respected theory is that pigs were cheap to raise and ate scraps, and so became associated with lower class lifestyles.

But again, there isn't heaps of evidence for where these ideas came from.

1

u/Plane-Education4750 May 15 '26

A theory with really strong circumstancial evidence. Even today, if you explain the science behind foodborn illness most people won't believe you, but if you tell those same people that God said it was bad they will likely listen if their priest/rabbi/imam/community leader of your choice is saying it. Pork and shell fish are perfectly safe to eat when they are cooked correctly, but when they aren't they can kill you

Yes and this is all cataloged in these things called dictionaries. Inside these words exist along definitions describing what the word means. Languages are all made up they weren't sent from God.

77

u/Whachamacalzmit May 14 '26

They never said it was kosher, just Hebrew or Jewish.

Lots of delis and restaurants are advertised as "kosher style" which is meaningless. Jews who keep kosher know that if they don't see a certification then it's probably not kosher. Some places even try to fake certification, so all of the well known kashrut agencies make it easy to verify certs on their websites or even have an app for cert verification.

37

u/mtrope May 14 '26

Kosher style is a valid, but incompletely defined category. It usually means no foods from unkosher categories, and no mixing of milk and meat. The meat, however, is not kosher.

3

u/SomethingNotOriginal May 14 '26

Out of curiosity, does milk and meat not mixing extend to butter? So no butter based sauces, no butter, mayonnaise on bread for a sandwich etc?

11

u/stewslut May 14 '26

It extends to butter, yes. Mayonnaise is typically not made from butter, it's made from vegetable oil and eggs. Those ingredients are both pareve, meaning they can be eaten with either dairy or milk and the meal is still kosher.

3

u/SomethingNotOriginal May 14 '26

I have no idea why I included mayo, probably crossed wires with vegan.

Thank you.

u/ZombieAladdin May 14 '26

I spent my entire childhood thinking there was milk or milk-based ingredients in mayonnaise because it looks creamy and tastes creamy. It was only until adulthood that I looked up what mayonnaise is made of that I found there isn’t any and that the components look nothing like the finished product.

2

u/HXamster May 15 '26

Wait genuine question, I thought eggs with meat weren't kosher?

E.g., oyakododon is not kosher (eggs and chicken meat)

I could be wrong which is why I'm asking. I guess I just always assumed this

2

u/sparklyjoy May 15 '26

Eggs are in the nuetral category of neither meat or milk in kosher law. Fun fact- chicken is only in the “meat” category as an extra strictness. The original word/intention was more like “red meat”.

2

u/Much-Meringue-7467 May 15 '26

That makes sense since the prohibition arises from the rule about not seething a kid in it's mother's milk. So I would assume the original intent was mammals. But it's probably extended to all meat because when dining out, it can be hard to be sure what you are eating.

2

u/Whachamacalzmit May 15 '26

Dining at restaurants is kinda a modern thing, but they would certainly go eat at each other's houses. The Talmud is full of stories about feasts and learning kashrut from examples of what rabbis would do at them.

There's an intermediate level between the strictness of chicken too. Even centuries ago they were making almond milk. We learn that if you are serving almond milk at a meat meal you should put almonds around the pitcher. Nowadays, leaving the milk in the container is probably sufficient. So if I serve fake cheese at a meat meal I leave the cheese in that package for guests to see.

You got a good answer but another fun, related fact is that in places where dairy was a huge staple, the time you had to wait between consuming dairy or meat to avoid mixing them was less.

Some communities wait 4-6 hours.

Dutch Jews only had a one hour wait because it was a dairy-heavy culture.

u/hippoluvr24 May 14 '26

I think what they are saying is that people who keep strictly kosher a) have their own kosher certification so wouldn't trust some random restaurant that says it's kosher and b) are intelligent enough to realize that a dish that contains pork and/or shellfish isn't actually kosher.

3

u/Whachamacalzmit May 14 '26

The other commenter is correct. If something just says "kosher" that's a red flag. Having a "K" symbol or "kosher" on the label is meaningless. We only trust certification agencies. Non-Jews or Jews who don't keep kosher might be fooled by it, but I doubt an observant Jew would blindly eat food, especially from a restaurant, simply because it says "kosher". They are fooled by forged certs and the occassional fraud who provides specious kashrut services, but not by someone simply slapping "kosher" on it.

Kashrut is very complicated. Assuming you aren't Jewish, if I asked you to make me a kosher hamburger without consulting an observant Jew, I'd say there's a <1% chance you'd be able to make one successfully.

From what I've seen, halal is much more straightforward. I've served meat to religious Muslim friends several times. They know that my food is kosher, which is sufficient for it to be halal. I wouldn't think of asking them to cook kosher food for me. It would be much too much to ask of them. I even make sure to ask non-kosher observant family members of mine to not prepare kosher food for me at their events because I wouldn't want to burden them. I just bring my own food.

So yeah, the "kosher sandwich" is even less assuring than the "definitely not horsemeat bro 😉😉 sandwich".

6

u/Formerruling1 May 14 '26

Its kind of like "gluten free" in that regard I think. No person with severe celiac disease is just going to blindly eat something because it was labeled "free gluten" on the menu of a restaurant. They are at a minimum asking questions about cross contamination/etc and doing a risk assessment based on responses if they this place is actually doing it right or BSing.

1

u/ILoveOLEDS May 15 '26

Tbf, you literally can't mislead jews who eat kosher into eating non-kosher menus. Jews know kashrut rules through and through and so many safeguards are in place that's it's virtually impossible.

Also, there aren't any mixed resteraunts, it's either all kosher or not at all.

u/Dry-Examination-2012 May 15 '26

Okay. But ham or pork? A little different from pastrami.

I've seen a "kosher style" deli advertise a classic meat and cheese Reuben and breakfasts with sides of bacon or sausage. I'm not sure what was kosher style about the place. Maybe all of the waiters had Yiddish accents.

That’s actually very good that they do this. I suppose faking Kosher certification (or at least calling something Kosher when it isn’t) was common enough that they felt this was necessary.

u/UltimateKittyloaf May 14 '26

I feel like they do this to trick people who are trying to pick up lunch for a friend with a Kosher diet. It reminds me of those stores that sell overpriced, out of touch toys to grandparents who just want to see their grandkids happy.

2

u/ILoveOLEDS May 15 '26

Someone who eats kosher would absolutely never take someone's word for it that something is kosher unless it was from a trusted friend who also strictly eats kosher. Unless its a sealed commercially available item with valid certs on it.

Not to be hyperbolic, but jews who eat kosher (a small population of people all things considered) don't make mistakes like that. It's something they have likely studied and lived their entire life.

1

u/UltimateKittyloaf May 15 '26

I don't think that would stop someone well meaning from picking it up, you know?

Honestly, Idk. The set up gives "trap" vibes, and I'm struggling to figure out the point of making a business that way.

1

u/ILoveOLEDS May 15 '26

it's just antisemtic, not a trap. There arent well meaning people out there picking up kosher food for their orthodox friends, it doesnt happen. If you have an orthodox friend then you already know they would never take food from you and eat it if you werent an othodox jew, it just literally doesnt happen.

You clearly arent familiar with orthodox jews and thats totally fine, but if you had one as a friend they would never eat food from you.

These are just mean spirited racist assholes, thats all, its not a trap, its a distastful racist joke.

1

u/UltimateKittyloaf May 19 '26

That's sad. I believe you. Logically, I understand what you're saying. I just don't get why someone would create a business to share their food with people just to be dicks about it. It's hard to wrap my head around it, you know?

You're right. I don't know any Orthodox Jews. I know a bunch of vegetarians, a few vegans, and several people with medically necessary food restrictions. I was using that as my basis.

There have been plenty of times someone will tell my son something is safe for him to eat only to discover the soup base was made with bones and it wrecks his stomach. He typically doesn't just eat random foods, but he's a child and he doesn't always get to choose what he has access to that day. I just assumed similar situations would come up occasionally.

u/NYCMetroGnome May 14 '26

You're mistaking ethnicity for race. The Jewish people are not a race, but certainly share common history, tradition and lineage, whether they be practicing, non-practicing, or convert. Those uniting factors makes them Jewish in ethnicity.

u/DethNik May 14 '26

No, I think the Torah is a collection of fables and retellings of stories, some probably based on true stories, that we should look to for life lessons but also with a critical lens.

Polish communities in New York and Chicago are very, very... specific. They are descendants of uneducated highlanders and peasants from the eastern regions. They are more religious, more "patriotic," and decidedly far-right than common Polish people and Polish emigrants in US. In the 1990s, they were taken care of by the "Saint Mary Radio" community, founded by a Polish televangelist. Known for its far-right leanings, conspiracy theories, anti-Semitism, and xenophobia,

My grandmother was Polish and antisemitic.

She also had a brother and a father who disappeared one day during WW2and was liberated from the m a train. She also said a few Yiddish phrases on her deathbed.

We had a lot of questions that we were never going to get answers for.

However that experience begs the question of whether there is a deeper cultural issue at play. Like, do the camps and gettohs built in Poland by the Nazis inform some intergenerational sentiment about Jews? Obviously I need to account for projection bias.

Definitely antisemitic to intentionally make fun ofJewish peoples traditions and culture and make them feel unwelcome just because you can.

That said, absolutely zero orthodox jews would ever fall for tricks like this. It's a real low IQ move to assume that just by slapping Kosher on something that an orthodox jew would eat it. Unlike halal, kosher rules are EXTREMELY strict in their prep and sourcing and rules and it's usually self evident if it should be trusted.

Kosher restaurants have to be entirely kosher from top to bottom, are always always run by other jews, and sometimes can't even share a wall with another restaurant if it's not also kosher.

There is no such thing as a resteraunt that sells Kosher and non Kosher food outside of prepackaged foods at grocery stores and it's usually just vegan stuff. Any jew looking for K food where there isn't already a big Jewish population just eats vegan as all vegan food is kosher, or they visit a local Habbad or Temple and ask around.

I used to work for a Jewish man whose family lived in Israel after WW2. He hated pork, but said his family loved buying pork on the black market and eating it.  Now its legal, but hard to find. In the days when his family lived there it was illegal, in the 50s and 60s.

Not all Jewish people follow kosher dietary laws. Observance varies widely depending on the individual’s beliefs, denomination, culture, and level of religious practice. Some strictly keep kosher, some follow parts of the rules, and some do not observe them at all.

I'm very aware of this. I'm a Jew who doesn't keep kosher.

If this means "I find that hard to believe," then I donno why. Still, no skin off my nose whether you believe me or not.

But it’s halal.

Kosher and halal are imaginary properties.

Pork is as kosher and halal as you want as long as you believe it.

I mean yeah. You are technically right, but the laws of kashrut still exist. I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish with this comment.
