-- [ From: Kathryn P. Rosenthal * EMC.Ver #2.5.3 ] --
I had a lot of difficulty finding "pure" meat in southern New Mexico
last winter. After calling or visiting every meat market/grocery store
in the area, I was about to give up when I had an interesting
conversation with the manager of a meat department.
When I explained that I needed "free range" chicken and beef (a term
none of them had ever heard of) and then told him what the term meant,
the manager said, "Oh, you need kosher meat."
I had just assumed that "kosher" meant that the meat had been blessed by
a rabbai or something, but the meat manager said that kosher meat had
been raised without hormones or antibiotics and was really "pure" meat.
I'll be going back to NM in a few weeks. Anyone know the real deal on
kosher?
