Question
in leviticus 11:41, we are told, “and every swarming thing that swarms upon the earth is a detestable thing; it shall not be eaten.” any food known to be subject to insect infestation, therefore, cannot be eaten until the insects have been removed. so, there's a prohibition against eating insects. now, more and more processed food has added insects or part of insects in them — and you can read in the newspapers that we should eat insects, they claim insects being nuitricious. if i got the rabbis right we also should check food bevor preparing it. how do i avoid insects in my food — or is it allowed to eat food that contains a small amount of insects?

Asker A* wrote: Dear Rabbi, I've had gefilte fish at Orthodox homes, where the fish plate and silverware were removed before the chicken soup and meat were served. Why must the meat and fish be separated? Asker B* wrote: Could you please explain the prohibition of eating fish and cheese together? I would like to know where this law/custom is derived from as I have been told that it is a Chassidic custom. Also, if it is a Chassidic custom and, seeing as though I'm not Chassidic, even if I have been observing this custom for many years under the impression that it was mandatory, do I still have to continue with it? Thanks!

ב"ה Since I'm not an expert in botany nor am I a Kilayim expert, I'm trying to find out if cucumbers are okay to splice together, or are they two different minim and therefore not permitted for a Jew to create a new type through grafting. Thank you
