Cheese. Some of you eat burgers without cheese for reasons I cannot fathom.

Well, how about the lactose intolerant? Who wants diarrhea every time they eat a cheeseburger?

Also, Orthodox Jews. Exodus 23:19: "Thou shall not seethe a kid in his mother's milk." Which means "exnay" on the Cheeseburgers (No milk and meat together. Heck, I know some Jews who won't eat a turkey omelet because it violates the tenants of this commandment).

[Gil4]

Seethe
archaic
cook (food) by boiling it in a liquid.

I’m not an Orthodox Jew, but it sure seems like it’s a stretch to say adding a slice of cheese to a burger (especially after the burger is cooked) violates “Thou shall not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.”

RE” “Heck, I know some Jews who won’t eat a turkey omelet because it violates the tenants of this commandment).”

Trying to figure out how they milk the turkeys... :-)
