Eating kosher is a practice associated with the religion of Judaism. Kosher in Hebrew means "good" or "proper", in terms of food it means that the item meets the dietary requirements of Jewish law. (KOF-K.org). The main pillars are not eating pork, seafood and not mixing meat and dairy products. The animals are also slaughtered in a more humane manner and the food is specially prepared. (Shapiro) My informant, Rachel, is a conservative Jew who adheres to kosher principles. Although this adds restrictions to her diet, Rachel does it for religious and family reasons. Rachel remained kosher, even throughout her college years. This definitely made his diet more restricted than that of the average college student. It consists of foods very similar to those consumed by the average student. Rachel's daily meal may consist of kosher chicken, steak, hamburger, hot dogs, spaghetti, salmon, and/or vegetables (which generally taste the same as non-kosher foods). These days, many grocery stores carry a wide variety. of kosher options so kosher people can still enjoy a variety of delicious dishes. When Rachel goes to a restaurant, it is much more difficult for her to find something to eat on the menu, because not all restaurants prepare their meat kosher. She usually ends up eating something vegetarian or having fish, as long as it's not a shellfish. Restaurants also do not have separate silverware and dishes for meat and dairy. However, a lot of times, Rachel just eats the food. While this breaks some of the restrictions of being kosher, she doesn't expect all restaurants to follow the guidelines. This is also true for his college experience. Unless you go to the kosher section of Franklin Restaurant, the restaurant's dishes, silverware, and meats likely do not meet kosher guidelines. Rachel is still proud that she did her best to maintain her values ​​throughout college.
