WHAT IS PARVE? According to kosher dietary law, meat and dairy products cannot be cooked or eaten together; they must always be separated. Therefore, separate utensils are used for preparing, serving, and eating meaty and dairy foods, and a waiting time must elapse between eating one and the other. Parve is a Hebrew word which means “neutral” (neither meaty nor dairy). Kosher foods that are Parve may be eaten with either meat or dairy foods. You, too, may be Parve! “Being Parve” means you can either eat kosher meat or dairy products, whichever suites your fancy — if the required waiting time elapsed after your last meal of meat or dairy products. B’Tay-avon! (Hebrew for hearty appetite!)
