okay - I guess I misunderstood.

As for the rules of Kashrut, they are set out in Leviticus but have been
heavily annotated by "learned" people for thousand's of years.  I have not
done any research on what Kashrut was in medieval europe (besides just was
is set out in Leviticus) - I'm not exactly sure when some of the current
restrictions were put into place.

The law about mixing milk and meat comes from "you shall not cook a kid in
its mother's milk" so as you can see-someone took some serious liberties
with that translation.
Here is a simplistic rundown:
http://www.jewfaq.org/kashrut.htm

I'm happy to do more research if you wish.

I don't know about the dietary laws of Islam (Halal=lawful,
Halam=unlawful).  Or any of the dietary laws of Buddism, Shintoism, etc.
