meat fork touching my milk sink?

Jewish thing. Like using the blood of non-believers to make Matzo during Passover. Different strokes, I guess.

meat fork touching my milk sink?

I was hoping it was something sexual, myself.

Although the details of kashrut are extensive, the laws all derive from a few fairly simple, straightforward rules:

Certain animals may not be eaten at all. This restriction includes the flesh, organs, eggs and milk of the forbidden animals. Of the animals that may be eaten, the birds and mammals must be killed in accordance with Jewish law. All blood must be drained from the meat or broiled out of it before it is eaten. Certain parts of permitted animals may not be eaten.

Fruits and vegetables are permitted, but must be inspected for bugs Meat (the flesh of birds and mammals) cannot be eaten with dairy. Fish, eggs, fruits, vegetables and grains can be eaten with either meat or dairy. (According to some views, fish may not be eaten with meat).

Utensils that have come into contact with meat may not be used with dairy, and vice versa. Utensils that have come into contact with non-kosher food may not be used with kosher food. This applies only where the contact occurred while the food was hot. Grape products made by non-Jews may not be eaten.

Milk sink: there are various degrees of observance of kosher laws.

The stricter kosher home will have seperate everything, utensils, dishes and even sinks, for meat and dairy, as they can not be eaten together.

I heard about one very wealthy kosher family that had three kitchens in their house. Two were full size mirrors of each other in one very large room, one side for meat, the other for dairy. The third was a smaller separate kitchen strictly for Passover. Why they needed the separate Passover kitchen is beyond me.

Thank you all!

Forgive the heathen in the room but I googled and yahoo'd it to no satisfaction. It was driving me crazy, I assumed it was a typo.

Now I have to just get my head around rationale for the sink and all will be well.

Thanks!

Oh my! why in world do we act like the totally ridiculous religous rules for some religions are somehow not the total BS fairy tales that they are and then make fun of some others just because they haven't been repeated an nauseum for millennia? The Sacred Fairies in my pocket tell me that they are the only true spiritual beings and all others are false! How can you prove they're not? I believe it and you MUST respect my sacred belief.

I wait in vain for humans to finally use the brains that they have at their disposal and stop acting like scared insecure little critters that need invented stories to help them through a day. By the way, don't start dissing my fairies now.

"something sexual, myself"

That's a definition of masturbation.lol

Separate passover kitchen: obviates the need for the thorough cleaning to get every last crumb of leavened bread (verboten during Passover) out of the kitchen to avoid... um... contamination or something? Not sure.

Seems like cheating to me. But, I'm not Jewish.

These "laws" were written in antiquity for a specific religion...possibly they had to do with keeping healthy considering food processing and preservation were lacking. They really make no sense in today's world.
