Israeli rabbi presses to import kosher goose that tastes like pork
JERUSALEM - Israel's chief rabbi is bringing home the bacon.
Yona Metzger's office says it is primed to allow import of an organic goose grown in Spain that tastes like pork.
Metzger says three non-Jewish chefs confirm its swinish flavour. Jewish dietary law strictly forbids eating pork. Metzger's office says there is no Jewish injunction against eating goose, no matter what it tastes like, as long as it is slaughtered according to Jewish ritual.
Secular Israelis have long enjoyed pork at non-kosher restaurants. "Kosher pork" would open new flavours to the observant.
