The trendy Crave restaurant next to Jerusalem’s Mahaneh Yehuda market has been unable to save its own bacon, after Jerusalem Chief Rabbi Shlomo Amar said the word is unkosher and prohibited the establishment from using the term on its menu. Crave, which has had a kashrut license from the Jerusalem Rabbinate ever since it was established, has for several years offered “lamb bacon” on its menu as a topping on burgers and other dishes, as well as making it the hero in a dedicated BLT (bacon, lettuce and tomato) sandwich.
Bacon is commonly thought to be solely a pork product and therefore not kosher. But according to co-owner Yoni Van Leeuwen, the term bacon actually refers to meat from any animal that has been cured and smoked in a specific way. For its bacon, Crave takes a piece of lamb breast, cures and smokes it in a process that takes a week, before sizzling it up and sitting a few slices atop one of its prized burgers or nestling a healthy portion in the BLT.
Last December, however, Amar was made aware of the phenomenon in which Crave and other Jerusalem restaurants were using the term bacon and instructed all kashrut inspectors and supervisors that restaurants could no longer use the word on their menus. When Crave’s inspector told Van Leeuwen and co-owner Tzvi Maller they had to change the word on the menu to “facon” to indicate that it was not a pork product, Van Leeuwen requested a meeting with Amar to explain the usage of the term.

Cloven hooves, chews a cud = Kosher
Yes it looks wonderful.
I reckon it depends on whether you’re talking about canned or freshly prepared gefilte. Never have eaten it but after reading a recipe, I’m thinking fresh would be pretty good. But I eat fried or sauteed chicken livers too.
I took a class in Judaism in college and the professor, a Rabbi, invited all the students to a Rosh Hashanah dinner. It was a small class and only a few of us went. It was lovely. The lady who hosted welcomed us all so warmly and the food was just incredible.
When we were served the Matzo Ball soup, I heard a couple of my classmates suck in their breath, like they weren’t sure they could eat it. After we finished the soup, our bowls were collected and the hostess seemed surprised but pleased that I had finished mine. I smiled and told her, “It was delicious and I especially liked that big dumpling!” Everyone laughed.
By the way, I’m a Baptist.

...A number of authorities, including Rav Menachim Azarya DeFano, Rav Chaim Ibn Attar, and the Chatam Sofer, suggested that the pig will undergo what may be called an evolutionary process and develop a cud, rendering it kosher!...
I tastes fine but is rarely eaten by most, largely because it is considered a scavenger fish and is to boney to filet, but put in a pressure cooker the meat will fall off the bone and may be formed into patties or balls and fried.
Like wise when smoked the meat will fall off the bone and is quite delicious.
