Is Giraffe Kosher?

The real question is…who wants to eat a giraffe?

I’d like to see them milk a giraffe.

That’s a new one on me, Ant. And my hubby was born in S. Africa. I’d rather eat spring bok myself.

My favorite part is the bit about giraffe milk being able to “form curds” – who else is up for some giraffe cheese?

I wonder what giraffe taste like…

*Add giraffe to list*

Cat
Dog
Cricket
Shark
Emu
Lion ( Should taste like cat… who knows )
Dinausaure
E.T. ( What… I wonder what his glowing finger taste like. Looks delicious in the movie )

Giraffe tastes delicious! Very much like beef in fact. The meat is a lot more moist than other animals like kudu, buffalo, impala. We have a restaurant here in SA that serves all kinds of meat like that

I thought cloven hooved animals were unclean. Cows do not have cloven hooves and they are OK. Pigs do and are condidered unclean. I wish I knew where in the Bible to look. Does anyone know?

I’d eat giraffe. Why the hell not?

Jubu,

Leviticus 11 lists the dietary stipulations in the Bible. The Bible is talking about what is clean and unclean according to the law of Moses. “The Law” has to do with redemtion, but Jesus redeemed us all. Even though most Christians do not follow the dietary requirements of Leviticus, it doesn’t mean that animals on the, “don’t eat list” were meant to be food. Pigs, catfish, lobster, crabs, shellfish are the “garbage” collectors of the planet and were not created to be food for people.
