Do not eat meat cooked with milk

 

 “Do not cook a kid in its mother’s milk” Shmoth 34:26

 

For eating an olive size of both one should receive lashes.

He is punishable even if he had no enjoyment from eating for example the food was extremely hot that it burnt his throat when he ate it, or he put something bitter into it resulting in no enjoyment when eating it.

Nevertheless, he deserves lashes.

 

If meat and milk were prepared by soaking not cooking or salted together, it is forbidden by the Scribes to be eaten but to benefit from it is permitted.

 

If meat of an untamed animal or fowl was cooked with the milk from either a domestic or untamed animal the ban on eating is only due to the law of the Scribes.

 

It is permissible to cook fish and locusts with milk and permissible to eat them.

 

This applies in all places at all times for men and women.
