Exaggerate one's acting while hooking up a prosciutto to cure under a ceiling truss in a rural house?
(Definitely I must give up the business)

Please, I have been eating Kosher for the last 6 years. Don't get me reminiscing over the taste of prosciutto crudo.Exaggerate one's acting while hooking up a prosciutto to season under a ceiling truss in a rural house?

Well, there's no accounting for taste, no matter how crude it may be, especially those over-done Kosher burgers I had once long ago. Just send the cow on down the aisle and I'll rip off a chunck as she goes by.Please, I have been eating Kosher for the last 6 years.

Pork, though, does need to be cured or cooked. Ah, but when it is ...
I've been trying to find info on prosciuttini. I had it years ago and remember it to be similar to prosciutto. The only info I could find was a reference in a restaurant review that it's made from the belly instead of the thigh. Even that paragon of data, Wikipedia, didn't have any infor on it.
Perhaps Cacasenno can enlighten us the next time the common carrier pigeon passes over his part of Tuscany.

I don't overdo anything (as far as meat is concerned). My personal brand of kashrut is to abstain from non-kosher animals and from mixing meat and dairy. I don't worry about kosher slaughtering, or cooking the juices out of meats.
For someone that grew up in reform Judaism, had always eaten pork and shellfish, and mixed meat and dairy, the extent of my kashrut is plenty. It never seemed important to me, until I started raising my kids in the Bible Belt, deep in the heart of barbequed pulled-pork country.

I had a friend explain to me that the prohibition of dairy with meat was to keep an animal from being cooked in its mother's milk.
Fair enough, but then I asked him why I couldn't have a slice of cheese on a grilled chicken breast since I've never seen a chicken with mammary glands. He replied that well, maybe it was just a blanket prohibition to avoid accidentally putting cheese on a hamburger.
Oh, well ...

The funny thing is that the original Hebrew text may have read, "Do not cook a kid in its mother's fat." The consonants for fat and milk are identical in Hebrew (חלב). The Torah is written without vowels, so it could have been easy to mistake the two words.
At the end of the day, the main reason for Kashrut, as I see it, is to create an identity as a people; not for reasons of health or logic.

now that makes sense, I am not in agreement on the lack of Logic in the laws.... I believe God has His reasons for everything, our reasoning is finite, his thoughts and ways are higher, I think both Christians and Jews agree on this.....Besides God never said to have separate dishes, those are man-made laws and as such, look at ours [modern-day] for instance, they are largely silly.The funny thing is that the original Hebrew text may have read, "Do not cook a kid in its mother's fat."

I quite agree. By the very point you make, I am asserting that beyond acknowledging that there is a reason, there is no need to seek the reason. The Biblical context suggests in any event that Kashrut is part of the laws and precepts that set the nation aside.I am not in agreement on the lack of Logic in the laws....
