Description

Excerpted from the website:

jewish-food-logo.jpg
: Jewish cuisine is a collection of international cookery traditions linked by Jewish dietary laws (kashrut) and Jewish holiday traditions. Certain foods, notably pork and shellfish, are forbidden; meat and dairy are not combined, and meat must be ritually slaughtered and salted to remove all traces of blood. Wine and bread are used during Sabbath and Holiday rituals. Jewish cooking is extremely varied due to the use of local ingredients and local influences that have made their mark on Jewish communities around the world.

Jewish Foods

Jewish Foods As among all the Oriental peoples, and as is the case even to-day among the fellaheen of Syria, vegetable food, and chiefly grain ("dagan"), occupied the first place in the diet of the Israelites.

Cereals: The most important of the cereals was wheat (hittah" or "hittim."). (For the earliest mode of preparing this, see Baking; Bread; Cookery; and comp. "Z. D. P. V." ix. 3.) The grains were at times reduced to grits ("geres"); hence the prescription that "'abib ?alui" and "geres karmel"—probably "geres" of garden grains, which are palatable and mature especially early—should be offered as "minhat bikkurim." The grain was generally ground into flour ("kemah"), the fine flour ("solet") being distinguished from the ordinary kind. The flour was made into bread, either without leaven ("mazzah") or with it ("lehem"; Lev. vii. 13). Barley ("se'orim") was used like wheat (comp. II Sam. xvii. 28), being generally made into bread (comp. Judges vii. 13; II Kings iv. 42; Ezek. iv. 9, 12). Spelt ("kussemet") was apparently used much less than wheat or barley. It appears, however, from Ezek. iv. 9 that, besides millet, spelt also was made into bread.
