150_jackalopeWould a jackalope be kosher? How about a dragon?

In honor of upcoming holidays like Passover, I thought I would ask Jeff’s better half, Ann VanderMeer, editor of Weird Tales and a practicing Jew, to give us an idea of which fantastical animals and beings would be kosher and which would not be kosher, in terms of gnawin’ off a bit o’ that. Answers below… – Evil Monkey

The list includes sea monkeys, mermaids, Sasquatch, Chupacabra, and Hobbits, among others. Link -via Dark Roasted Blend

    hahaha How very Passover-Appropriate. Thankfully, none of those creatures became of unleavened bread.

    Some strange ones. I’m surprised Griffin wasn’t on the list – I hope I don’t commit any faux pas’ next time I serve it.
