(I work in the kosher section of our deli. I often get questions about what makes our food different from the things sold at other counters at the store.)

Customer: “What’s a kosher chicken?”

Me: “It’s a chicken that was raised, slaughtered, and prepared according to kosher rules.”

Customer: “What’s kosher?”

Me: “It’s Talmudic laws regarding food.”

Customer: “What’s Talmudic?”

Me: “It’s Jewish religious law.”

Customer: “What’s Jewish?”
