| Jul 8, 2014 at 1:04 | comment | added | TRiG | On a separate issue, @Shalom, I would contend that the stuff Hershey's produce isn't actually chocolate as I'd understand the word. It seems to be a brown waxy substance, the flavour of which almost, but not quite, entirely unlike chocolate. | |
| May 31, 2011 at 17:33 | comment | added | TRiG | @Shalom typo: rabbi > rabbit (an interesting typo in the circumstances). | |
| May 11, 2011 at 2:43 | comment | added | Shalom | Daniel ben Noach, yes indeed; you'll in fact find plenty of chocolate rabbits with kosher signs on them, such as OU-D (as you'd find on almost any Hershey's chocolate anyhow, including their Halloween candy). There may be separate issues if you chose to use that rabbi to observe a non-Jewish holiday, but from a strict kosher perspective, shape is irrelevant. | |
| May 11, 2011 at 2:07 | comment | added | Daniel ben Noach | Does that mean that foods like chocolate rabbits and chocolate santas are permissible despite their very non-Jewish associations? | |
| May 10, 2011 at 20:37 | comment | added | Moshe | @PeterOfTheCorn - Yes, that is correct. The shape of the food is not what makes it (un)_kosher, but the ingredients and processing. | |
| May 10, 2011 at 12:12 | comment | added | Peter Olson | So is the same true for gummy worms and gummy bears? | |

| May 8, 2011 at 15:40 | comment | added | Chanoch | It may be a misnomer in hebrew, but it's the common usage, a usage that's probably inherited from yiddish. | |
