Do the Rosenberg's keep kosher

[dragonyphoenix]

We know that WIllow had to sneak over to Xander's to watch Christmas specials and that her Dad would have been less than thrilled to find crucifixes nailed to her wall. Do we think that season one WIllow follows the kosher food restrictions?

This actually is for a story.

Wild-ass guess based on observing my Jewish friends' and relatives' dietary habits: I would say that Willow does not keep strictly kosher.

Keeping strictly kosher is really a pain in the ass, and something I associate with the stay-at-home mom who cooks every meal from scratch. Sheila's the kind of busy, distant mom whose family would subsist mostly on microwave dinners and/or takeout. (Yeah, theoretically Ira could do the cooking, but the vast majority of meal-prep seems to fall on the woman of the household).

I think there could be lingering hangups over some issues--my husband was raised Jewish, never came close to keeping strictly Kosher except when he lived in Israel as an infant (my MIL is a Sheila-type), but was a bit reticent about ordering pork. It wasn't that he was scared or grossed out by it, it just wasn't on his radar as something to order. But Asian BBQ in Seattle and Vancouver pretty much made that reticence disappear.

Pork would be perfect. I've been convinced that the family doesn't keep strict kosher. I basically want something that she'd consider maybe not a strict taboo but something she's never eaten for taboo-like reasons. If that made any sense at all.
