In honor of Passover, Evil Monkey was inspired to quiz a Jewish friend of his as to the kosher potential of various imaginary animals. He’s put together a handy guide, just in case you’d like to know if you can take a bite out of a Chupacabra or a Bugbear and still remain observant.<\/p>\n
Man-Eating Tree<\/B> – A: “Tree part yes, man-eating no, therefore treyf.”<\/p>\n
Mermaid<\/B> – A: “No, for the obvious reasons.” EM: “What if you marry one? Is that kosher? Will a rabbi marry you?” A: “Kosher is a term about eating, not about sex.” EM: “I’m not talking about sex\u2013I’m talking about marriage!” A: “If the mermaid is Jewish, the rabbi will probably marry you. But only if you’re Jewish too. But you’ll definitely have to find the right rabbi\u2026”<\/p>\n
Mongolian Death Worm<\/B> – A: “No, because you cannot eat anything that crawls on its belly.” EM: “Does that mean an injured kosher animal that is crawling along isn’t kosher any more?” A: “Yes, because you can’t eat an animal that’s been injured or is sick.” EM: “It’s a wonder you haven’t all starved to death.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
