The word "kosher" is not only used for food, however. Kosher basically means that something follows all the Jewish legal guidelines. The word has even gained a place in American slang to mean appropriate, legitimate, or proper. ChaCha on!

Kosher foods are those that conform to the rules of the Jewish religion. Swine are considered non-kosher (unfit or unclean) in Judaism and haraam (forbidden) in Islam.
