MORE-OR-LESS KOSHER
In the restaurant called 'Marsha's Noshery'
You'll love fressing by golly and goshery:
All our dishes our 'safe' --
We don't often serve treif,
But we won't guarantee the food's kashery.
Dr G.H. and Giorgio Coniglio, 2022
Authors' Note:
fress: a Yiddish loanword for eating with vigor, whole-heartedly, as explained HERE
treif (TRAYF): Yiddish for foods expressly prohibited under the laws of Kahshrut, including pork and shellfish
kasher: synonym used in Israel and Sephardic venues elsewhere for the Ashkenazi word kosher; the regulations involving foodstuff are quite complex, and in addition to the prohibitions mandate separation of particular allowed sources, e.g. meat and dairy; Kashery (noun and adjective) is the author's personal neologism.
It is suggested that those concerned about a particular eatery should consult with their spiritual advisor.
