If you're checking L.A. kosher restaurants, you already know what "kosher" stands for.

For the rest of you here is a brief explanation: kosher food is food that is chosen and prepared in accordance with Hebrew religion.

In Hebrew, "Kashrus" means "pure" and there is a comprehensive set of rules that control the choice and treatment of foods as well as a strictly endorsed certification of kosher foods.

Among the animals and fish that can be consumed by a person who follows kosher diet are cows, veal, sheep, lambs and goats plus chicken, goose, duck and turkey. The only fish fit to eat by an observant Hebrew are those who have scales and fins (herring, tuna, salmon); such seafood ad shellfish is a non-no. 

The Hebrew religion prohibits people from inflicting pain on animals which is why animals slaughtered for food are killed in the least painful and instantaneous way.

Once the animal is slaughtered every effort is made to remove the skin, veins and blood from the meat: the meat is being soaked in water and then rested in a bed of salt. 

Interesting isn't it? Since we eat more frequently than we worship, eating in accordance with one's religion makes even the process of eating - to some degree - a religious experience.

Take a look at the L.A. Kosher Restaurants listed below and whether you're Jewish or not, you may want to try their food. I gather that it is chosen wisely, with animals treated humanely and turned into delicious dishes. Others will tell you of the benefits of kosher food for your health. Most - who have tried Jewish cuisine - will tell you that it is hearty. You'll be surprised to see just how many traditionally Jewish food items you are already buying and eating.
