The oldest Irish epic, the Táin Bó Cúailnge, dates from the first or second century A.D. The title translates to The Cattle Raid of Cooley and is about the theft of a prize bull resulting in a war between Connacht and Ulster.
Cattle are wealth and life. I wonder how much the ancient Irish were like the Massai of today.

Besides the accurate responses you received about separation of the Hebrews from surrounding cultists, the Jewish sages over the centuries summed up the reason for the mandate as:”It is bad enough to kill a baby animal to eat, but it is far worse to also then boil it in it’s mother’s milk.”
Essentially, the rational has evolved into a moral stance.

I have to tell you that I thought the food in Ireland was terrific. Of course I’m Irish. LOL! Hey its not France for sure. But still pretty good. Well except for the Black Pudding. :-)

My folks used to talk about “real” sour cream and “real” this and “real” that, stuff I missed, that can now be had in Europe, or if one milks ‘em oneself. One of the things I’ve had in childhood was milk before pasteurization, wow, is that great. Around here we’re seeing cheeses made from it nowadays.

It’s a lot of fun, parts are lost because they’d been passed down in the oral tradition. It’s interesting too that it shows that ancient folks moved livestock by sea.

The Irish were still moving livestock by water--in crazy little leather boats.
They were still using currachs as lighters between freighters and the islands off Ireland's west coast as recently as the '70s.
