After the zucchini I ate tonight, it might look pretty good.  Overcooked isn't 
the word for it.  Green mush with onions would be better.

Exposure.  I grew up in one of those unusual areas with a high Jewish 
population.  Combine that with other influences and I've been known to 
accidentally fake people out.

Old Covenant stuff - I'm a card-carrying Gentile, because to call me Jewish by 
ancestry would be a strain even for Reform Judaism (maternal grandfather's 
family).  As such, it's open season on anything edible.  

Acts 11
 1And the apostles and brethren that were in Judaea heard that the Gentiles 
had also received the word of God.  2And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, 
they that were of the circumcision contended with him,  3Saying, Thou wentest 
in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them.  4But Peter rehearsed the 
matter from the beginning, and expounded it by order unto them, saying, 
 5I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, A 
certain vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet, let down from heaven by 
four corners; and it came even to me:  6Upon the which when I had fastened 
mine eyes, I considered, and saw fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild 
beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.  7And I heard a voice 
saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.  8But I said, Not so, Lord: for 
nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth. 
 9But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, that 
call not thou common.  10And this was done three times: and all were drawn up 
again into heaven.
 
I'm not sure if these are edible...untested, to say the least:
