[Sca-cooks] "Halal" and "Kosher"

[Vincent Cuenca]

In playing around with Andalusian/Maghribi recipes earlier this year, I
started getting curious about Muslim dietary laws as compared to Jewish
ones.  On the surface, "halal" and "kosher" share some similarities: no pork
or pork products, ritual slaughtering of animals, that sort of thing.
However, there are some differences.  Halal does not prohibit the
consumption of meat and dairy at the same meal, for example, although it
does prohibit alcohol.  Can anyone on the list take the comparisons further?
  Are shellfish prohibited under halal, for example?  Certain body parts
(Ras' proclivities notwithstanding)?

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Vicente
