TikToker Investigates Whether Minion Meat Is Kosher

Since the release of Minions: The Rise of Gru the titular yellow monsters have been on our minds more than usual. Minions have a deep and exciting culture explored throughout the Despicable Me and Minion Movie franchises. Minions are largely unrecognizable from any other earthly animal, which brings up a question that is both hilarious and macabre: could a person eat a minion? Now, this is not a new question. For years, people have been curious about the ethics and practicalities of gobbling up one of these yellow creatures. However, one TikToker bravely answered a question about the suitability of eating minions that have likely never been discussed in such detail: Is minion meat kosher?

For the uninitiated, kosher food is food that fits with Jewish law; Meat such as pork and shellfish do not satisfy the requirements. With a shocking revelation about the minions' past, Tiktoker Zara Zahava has the scoop.
