6 Weird Food Laws In The World

A community which has some of the most odd laws in terms of food cooking and food eating habits. There are many weird Jewish food laws which are quite different and unheard by many other communities. In this article we shall cover six such weird Jewish food laws.

STRANGE ENGLISH WORDS THAT ARE FUNNY!

The Egg Rule - It seems eating egg which shows a little blood in the embryo is not acceptable according to the Jewish food laws. This is because the egg in a embryo means there was life which should certainly not be killed and eaten. But the weird part here is that if you boil one egg which has some blood with two other eggs with no blood in the embryo is fairly acceptable. This is one weird Jewish food law and also is counted as one of the most weird laws around the world.

The Milk and Meat Combination - Many might know that the Jews do not eat meat and drink milk at the same time. This is perfectly normal and many other communities might be following the same. What is odd here is that, the Sephardic Jews do not eat chicken for a minimum of four hours after drinking milk and for six hour they avoid beef after having milk or milk based products. Similarly, the Dutch wait for an hour before eating meat or beef and the British Jews wait for three hours. The time period which is set seems to be one of the weird Jewish food laws.

Choosing food is difficult - There is a weird Jewish food law according to which in order to be able to eat an animal and make it Kosher it should have some necessary physical attributes. Not just the animal needs to be slaughtered with correct rituals but the cooking preparations and way of eating should also be according to the prescribed way. If the rules are not followed the food is not considered to be right and holy to be eaten. This is indeed a weird Jewish food law.

Milk Again - If milk is supposed to be such that it is holy and worth eating, a Jew has to be present during the milking process. This is quite a weird Jewish food law as it is so difficult in these times to find the Kosher milk.

Wine too - A weird law around the world includes the weird Jewish food law which states that a Jew must make the wine which is to be consumed. When and where can one make wine now in all the busy life people have?

Non Kosher Restaurant - It is so difficult to find a Kosher restaurant at every place on Earth. Yet, Jews cannot really go to a non kosher restaurant as it would be a sin to eat elsewer
