What was best thing you threw Kosher rules out for?

Cheeseburger!

My grandmother, who immigrated from Poland and kept a strictly kosher kitchen shtetl-style (she'd kasher her dishes by burying them in the yard), would eat nonkosher out. She loved peel and eat shrimp.

I'm jewish and I struggle with this. To me, keeping kosher is what you put into your body, not where you put it into your body. If you keep kosher in the house, then why not keep kosher outside the house? Yes, I get it. It's hard. Even in a place like NYC, it's hard.

I don't keep kosher for this reason. I'm not willing to keep kosher out of the house. But the thing I love about Judaism is that everyone defines there own level of what they are comfortable with. What I do, how I do it, has no impact on anyone else. And for the most part, within the mainstream jewish community, people don't pass judgement on how observant you are/are not.

I respect people who keep kosher at home only, or keep more strictly kosher at home. It means they want their home to be open to more Jews to eat, even Jews who observe more strictly than they do. And the idea is also that the home is a "mikdash me'et" a small sanctuary.

My ex’s late grandmother loved crabs. They were the only non-kosher food she ate. She could demolish 10. I miss that lady!

I have broken kosher on the following foods:

Shrimp, Lobster, Muscles, Clams, Crab, Scallops, Catfish.

Bacon, Pork Chops, ham, roasted pork.

Meat and milk mixed.

Most recently, I broke kosher for a bacon cheeseburger. (Lunch). It was delicious.
