The one who ate it was 8 years old, and he even said it tasted strange and wasn’t that good.” He explained that the incident happened while his children were staying at his brother’s house while the parents were away. A frum babysitter was supervising and asked the kids what they wanted for supper. The children mentioned the new kosher cheeseburger everyone had been talking about, and the babysitter mistakenly placed the order at a non-kosher restaurant.
