milk and meat

Forbidden dairy-flesh pairing

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

The rule derives from the biblical injunction against boiling a kid in its mother's milk, extended in rabbinic tradition to require separate dishes, utensils, and waiting periods between consuming the two: Is this restaurant milk and meat?

Observant Jews categorize foods as milchig (dairy), fleishig (meat), or pareve (neither).
