Halacha (Code of Jewish Law)  
Separation of Hallah
Regarding dough kneaded with eggs or with any kind of fruit-juice, there are doubts (whether hallah should be separated from it).
Salting of Meat
If by error one allows meat to soak in water for twenty-four hours, the meat as well as the vessel in which it has soaked must not be used.
Immersion of Vessels
Wooden vessels need not be immersed, but if they have metal hoops, they are to be immersed without pronouncing the benediction.
Bread, Cooked Food, and Milk of a Non-Jew
Cakes which are baked on iron pans are forbidden, because there is a possibility that the iron has been smeared with some kind of forbidden fat.
Eating and Drinking Before the Regular Meals
If we neglect to say the concluding benediction before the meal, we may say it either during the course of the meal or even after Grace.
Washing the Hands Before Meals
When using a vessel having a spout, the water must not run through the spout, as that part is not the vessel proper since it does not hold any liquid.
Breaking of Bread and Hamotzi
On the Sabbath, even when one eats all alone, one may cut a portion large enough to last for the entire meal.
Laws Concerning Meals
We must neither eat nor drink voraciously, nor while standing, and our table should be immaculate and nicely covered.
Benedictions Over Special Courses
Neither do we have to say a benediction over the beverages drunk during the course of the meal, for it is not customary to eat a meal without drinking.
Washing of Hands and Grace After Meals
We are required to wash only the first two joints of our fingers, holding our hands downward before drying them.
Formal Grace (of Three or More)
When reciting Grace alone, meticulous people do not hold the cup in their hands, but place it on the table in front of them.
Forbidden Foods
Meat and dairy products may not be eaten or cooked together, nor is it permissible to derive any benefit from such mixed foods.
Non-Jewish Wine - Making Vessels Fit for Use
However, it should be noted, how raisin wine, that is, when water is poured upon the raisins, is considered as true wine.
