Milchig, Fleishig, Pareve — certainly the indefatigable KosherBloggers know what these three words mean, but what’s the appropriate way to refer to them as a group?

Either we’re going to find the right term somewhere, or we’re going to coin it here! Some possibilities, none of which strike me as perfect:

* Kosher Ingredient Classes
* Kosher Food Types
* Kashrut Categories

Thoughts?

We always went with "gender" as in "Mom! What gender is this tupperware?"

We call them "genders" too. I have even asked people, "what gender are you?" before serving milchig. Of course they have to know what you are talking about or they could get offended!

I’ve heard both "gender" and "ilk," the latter being the one my wife and I use for our own dishes.
