    The back half, near the rump, is not considered kosher.

    Do a Goggle search for kosher dietary laws and you will find them
    interesting. Cleanliness is most important. You will also find that if you
    buy a kosher turkey there will be no gizzards in the bird. Same reason.

    On an episode of "Take Home Chef", Chef Curtis picked up a nice Jewish
    girl at the store. As her family kept Kosher, they had to go to Kosher
    butcher. There, he found out his plan for leg of lamb wasn't going to
    work.

    No, it could be made kosher, but it generally isn't
    because the labor cost would be too high.

    Kosher requires dissecting out the major blood vessels,
    which is easy to do on forequarters but much more
    difficult on hindquarters.

    Because the back half contains the sciatic nerve which the Kashrut laws
    forbid to eat. It is certainly possible to remove it, together with the
    adjacent tissues and blood vessels - and some kosher
    butchers/slaughteres do it - but this requires additional work and time,
    as well as a waste of some meat, so many other kosher slaughteres just
    prefer not to deal with the added bother and costs and sell the back
    halves to non-kosher butchers.

    But it is still NOT kosher and not used for that reason.

    3. Because the sciatic nerve and certain parts of the fat must be removed in
    order to eat the meat of the hindquarters (this is a laborious job and takes
    special training), filet mignon, rump and sirloin steaks, leg of lamb, and
    London broil usually are not available in kosher form in North America,
    though they may be in other parts of the world.

    Meat That Is Not Allowed:
    Any animal which does not both chew its cud and have a split hoof, such as
    rabbit or hare, pig, horse, dog or cat.

    And they do not eat it because of Genesis 32:
    32 Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which
    shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because
    he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank.

    It explains why I've never seen a Chosen People Barbecue.

    No doubt why you don't run across a lot of Chinese or Korean Jews.
