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. -

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.Brian

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

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. -
