As with all the teachings of the Torah the signs of a Kosher animal can be understood on many different levels. The ten kosher animals listed in the Torah all have both split hooves and chew their cud. What all these animals have in common is that they all graze for food and are not predators.

De Standaard had an article this week about kosher food being popular, cool and hip. You can read the article here and translate it to English, if need be.
JoodsActueel identifies a few inaccuracies in the article.
*The author of the article probably confused "Kleinblatt bakery" with "Heimische" bakery.
*She refers to the rabbit with plums on her plate which isn't possible because rabbit isn't kosher.
*She quotes the restaurant owner, "we eat no meat from animals that have split hooves" – when, in fact, the animals must have split hooves .
So, for those wishing to learn about kosher, don't use the article as the basis of Jewish dietary laws.
Incidentally, a friend of mine sent me a link to a website called kosherscoop.com. A quick perusal left me with the feeling that I must try out some of the recipes in the near future.
