The author describes how he has been fated to discover what his grandmother already knew about the meaning of 'kosher'. The Jewish people at the time of Christ for the most part did not want to eat and drink the flesh and blood of a God. Thus they did not convert to Christianity and continued to kosher, or take the blood out of, their meat. This is related to ideas in Totem and Taboo.
