You may have been eating while on maneuver when you saw one or two of the platoon mates eating different kind of MRE. The MRE they were eating was labeled kosher MRE or even halal. Thus you may have been wondering is this kind of rations the military was giving you any more special than the regular one that you are eating. Read on in this article so as to increase your knowledge on what is and what is not kosher.
You should know that halal prepared food is one that has been prepared according to regions guidelines set by imams for Muslims, and that the food for Jews as set by rabbis and rabbinical statutes. These guidelines are also strictly covered in both the Koran and the Torah for those of the Judaic faith.
Due to the rapid spread of Islam around the world, more people will be familiar with what halal is. This is because they would probably see a lot of it on grocery labels on food items. It should be noted however, that for halal, it does not only cover food as it will also cover lifestyle and even fashion choices. Thus you may even see halal swimming pools and hotels, and also you may even see halal television programming.
However, kosher is also something that is getting quite popular in terms of food preparation and dietary choices, and it is way different than halal preparations in some aspect. Halal food will never contain artificial flavorings and will be devoid of mono sodium glutamate. Kosher does not have this very specific restriction sometimes.
Many believe that halal and kosher is interchangeable because both spring from religions that are similar to each other, being monotheistic and springing from the patriarch Abraham.. One should not make this assumption however, as sometimes one may find himself or herself in a potentially embarrassing and very sensitive social situation.
Preparation of slaughtered animals to extract meat is something that also differs between Jewish kosher and Muslim halal foods. Muslims include a lot of preparatory prayers before and sometimes during the slaughter process, while for Jews this is not necessary, as long as a qualified Jew, most preferably a rabbi, does the preparation.
Alcohol is permitted in Jewish foods so a fruitcake that is good for a Jew but can never be touched by a Muslim. Also for Judaic acceptable food, dairy and meat can never be mixed together in the ingredients or overall preparation. For Muslims, all veggies and fruits are always halal, while Jews only consider these foods as being acceptable as long as they have no bugs on them or have had no contact with bugs or insects. Interestingly, grape products made by non Jews can never be acceptable to Jews.
This article has thus shown some main differences of Islamic and Judaic prepared foods to augment your understanding. Halal is more encompassing and surpasses being food only in its applications, whilst for the Jews, it is something that is related as to being clean and being ingested into the body, being food and drink in this case.
