SC - Candied Ginger question

[Olwen the Odd]

> Close.  According to kashrut, Jews cannot eat milk and meat at the same meal.  (See Deuterotomy 14:21) 
> Therefore, everything that is food is called one of three things:
>     Fleishig = flesh, meat
>     Milchig = milk

Wasn't the only reason chicken is considered Fleishig because otherwise people would be
confused? The base commandment is 'thou shalt not boil the kid in its mother's milk' and
chickens don't have milk!
