Kosher meat and fish
Animals with cloven hooves that 'chew the cud'* are 'kosher'.  This means Jews can eat sheep, cows, goats and deer.

Meat from these animals is kosher

(*This means food is chewed and swallowed. Then the food comes back to the mouth and is chewed again.)  
Jewish people can eat meat from birds like turkey, chicken and duck.
