5) WHAT TO DO WITH A COOKED ENTITY OF MEAT AND MILK

If, for whatever reason, one did cook meat and milk together[1], the food would have to be buried. It may not be given away to another, or fed to an animal[2], as that would be considered a form of benefit. And one is not permitted to benefit from a forbidden entity.

(The satisfaction in giving food to another, or the monetary saving from not having to buy animal food, is considered a ‘benefit’.)

[1] Or even if a non-Jew (who is not bound by the laws of meat and milk), cooked meat and milk together – and we now find ourselves in possession of such an entity.

[2] Even a stray animal.
