Kosher Tailgating
From Giftypedia
What is Kosher?
ko·sher [ kṓshər ] - ritually pure: describes food that has been prepared so that it is fit and suitable under Jewish law.
Kosher tailgating can consist of traditional kosher foods such as lox or cold cuts, or you can go all out and bring the grill and show the rest of the world how it's done!
A great example of kosher tailgating is Jewish Heritage Day at Shea Stadium, which is billed as The World's Largest Kosher Tailgate Party.
How to Start – a Kosher Grill
- Unless you are sure of what's been used on your grill, the best thing to do is to start with a new one.
- Purchase inexpensive permanent dishes, flatware, pots, pans, etc. that are used only when tailgating.
- Use dish tubs for both washing and later storing utensils.
- No dairy allowed on this grill – that means no butter or cheese.
