Make sure it counts if you do lol <| sep |> Sure . The Torah gives rules out eating many bird species esp predators and gives a couple signs of what can be eaten . The rabbis had a lot of discussion of what these signs meant exactly . Almost every bird could be a predatory bird ! So by the medieval era , authorities ruled that there needed to be an established tradition of eating a bird species as well . Turkeys of course , don ' t exist in the Old World . So there wasn ' t an established tradition of eating them . But turkey consumption became widespread very quickly among Jews in Europe . So there has been debate on why they are kosher . <| sep |> Original post by uHavinATeaPartay in ritookapicturenbspThis crosspost was performed automatically as a part of the ImagesOfNetwork .
