The answer will vary with the Jew that you ask. The biblical restriction sates that you should not steep a kid in its' mother's milk. I'm sorry, but I cannot give you the chapter and verse. It is in the Old Testament and I am told that it makes good dietary sense as well. Milk and meat do not digest in the same way or at the same rate, therefore, it is a good idea to keep them separate. I have also seen the citation as, do not boil a calf in his mother's milk, so it is in translation as well.
