...who cares, though.

or rather, if you do care... why. milk based cake is delicious.

Re: Things you thought were common knowledge, but aren't?

[(Anonymous)]

It comes from the original idea of not stewing a calf in its mother's milk (which is simply cruel and will turn a person cruel -- same reason blood isn't kosher to eat). It's pretty much impossible to know whether your pot roast and the milk in your fridge come from relatives, so kosher calls for simply separating the two, and often having a waiting time between eating diary and meat just to be sure.

(For the record, chicken with dairy is not considered kosher either, but that was an expressly rabbinical decision; it was felt that eating chicken meat with sour cream got people too accustomed to the taste of mixed meat with dairy. And that's more tradition than commandment. Fish, btw, is not a meat in any way and you can eat it with dairy.)

I agree, milk-based cake is delicious. Often I would have forgone the brisket if I'd known it was coming! But nope, out pops that delicious dessert with no warning and I can't let myself have it (according to my own personal beliefs). It's simple enough to buy a dairy-free cake for a supposedly kosher dinner-party, but it often doesn't occur to anyone to do so. "Hey, we had meat and that was a separate part of the meal -- let's dig into this buttercream-frosted deliciousness!" Except no, I'm still meaty (I can't remember the word for it in Hebrew), and I want to wait a couple of hours at least and brush my teeth first. And in the end I have to skip the cake entirely and everyone asks me why I'm not eating (as these are Jews, kosher-keeping or not).
