If Jews cook meat and milk together, is it permitted to enjoy watching that?

From a halakhic standpoint, why not?

That might be a problem if you think the Torah teaches values or expects some kind of whole, integrated person. But even then I don’t see a problem. And certainly according to Michi’s view on the matter.

That isn’t meat and milk. Pork in milk is only a pork prohibition. That is Maimonides’ “wonderful point” in his commentary on the Mishnah on Keritot. So there is no prohibition of deriving benefit here (from meat and milk), only a prohibition on eating. But even if there were a prohibition of deriving benefit, watching such a video would not count as forbidden benefit.

My question, of course, was about meat that is not pork. And why exactly is watching not prohibited?
And to Shimi: because the Torah prohibited cooking meat and milk together. And eating it. And deriving benefit from it.

That is not called deriving benefit from the prohibition. If someone were to talk about mixing meat and milk, or write a song about it, would you be forbidden to enjoy that?

Is non-kosher meat in milk also prohibited?
For example, is a cow that was not slaughtered in a kosher manner prohibited with milk?

In principle yes, except that there is a question of one prohibition not taking effect on top of another prohibition.

If the enjoyment was created by the cooking of the meat and milk, then it is prohibited. A song created from watching forbidden cooking should also be prohibited—unless we say that in that case it is just a song, and the source of the song does not matter. Unlike watching the cooking, where this is direct visual enjoyment from the cooking by technological means. But the enjoyment is from the cooking itself, as opposed to listening to a song.

It was not created by the cooking but by watching it. Even if they told you that they cooked meat and milk, and they were actually doing it with sand and water, you would enjoy it to the same extent.

It seems to me that one may not feed forbidden-benefit items to one’s dog. Or take any other example—would we then come and permit the benefit on the grounds that “it was not created by the cooking but by watching it”? Or in that case, that the enjoyment is not from the cooking but from feeding the dog. According to your words, when would it actually be prohibited?

On the contrary, that is proof to the contrary. The prohibition regarding a dog is because by doing so you save yourself from buying other food. That is, not the very fact that it eats, but your savings—that is the benefit.

My savings also exist even without cooking meat and milk together. “Even if they told you that they cooked meat and milk, and they were actually doing it with sand and water, you would enjoy it to the same extent,” as the Rabbi wrote. How is watching different?
