- Bacon: A pig is an unkosher animal because it does not chew its cud (even though it has a cloven hoof). Therefore anything coming from a pig is not kosher. Turkey and beef bacon just don’t taste the same.
- Pepperoni or Sausage Pizza: Not only do pepperoni and sausage come from a pig, but even if it’s beef sausage, mixing dairy and meat in the same meal is forbidden.
- Baby Back Ribs: Another pork product that unfortunately is banned.
- Lobster Tail: All animals that come from the water must have fins and scales. Lobsters don’t have either.
- Crab Legs: Same reason as lobsters.
- Calamari: Octopuses (and yes, it’s either octopuses or octopodes, not octopi) don’t have fins and scales.
- Shrimp Cocktail: Same reason as lobsters, crabs, and octopuses.
- Clam Chowder: Same reasons as lobsters, crabs, octopuses, and shrimp.
- Cheeseburger: No dairy and meet in the same meal. You can put on some fake cheese (but there are other issues with that). Even if you use fake cheese, you know it’s not the same.
- Frog Legs: Frogs come from the water, and have no fins and scales.
* Honorable Mention: Meat lasagna, Escargot
