meat and milk

Forbidden dietary combination

Meat and milk refers to the Jewish dietary law (kashrut) prohibiting the mixing of meat and dairy products.

Observant Jews maintain separate dishes, utensils, and preparation areas for each category, and wait a prescribed interval after eating meat before consuming dairy.

The prohibition derives from the biblical injunction against boiling a kid in its mother's milk.
