Subject: Eating meat with blood in it: Gen. 9:4 |
Bible Note: Minijackson What you saw in the package was not blood it was body fluid. Blood is thick and clotty, it spoils almost instantly. To be Kosher a Rabbi had to kill the animal, done by slitting the artery with a scarey sharp knife. From what I observed the knife is so sharp the animal isn't aware that it's throat is cut. It's blood pumps out and the animal falls asleep at this point the animal is hung upside down and bled some more. The animal is gutted and organs are inspected by the Rabbi. If the animal is found with any defect the meat become gentile meat. Kosher meat is then cut and again inspected by the Rabbi and then packaged. After the meat is bought it is to be soaked in a slat water solution to draw out the body fluid. The meat is then cooked completely and served. Chickens are handled the same way but have a much higher rejection rate. I watched a Rabbi fill the Gentile barrel in short order while inspecting the chickens. For non Kosher chickens the chicken is suspended by it feet it is stunned by electricity (some are stunned before being put in the machine) but the heart is usually still functioning. Its head is removed, at which point it blood is drained, remember chickens hardly have any blood compared to a human or cattle. It is then sent in the steamer / plucker , then it is gutted and packaged. You may find red juice in a chicken but that is body fluid and your right some veins may still contain tiny amounts of blood that clotted before it was drained. EdB |
