Trafe, I think I've seen it spelled tref too, is a yiddish term for anything
not kosher. If you ever saw the movie "Gremlins" there's a scene where an apple
rolls over the side of a bed onto a hiding gremlin which takes a bite and
throws it back over the bed and says, "trafe". Not true, but kinda funny. I had
to ask someone else too. So I guess an apple would actually be parve.

Yes, I think they can. I think the limitation is not eating diary with any meat
from an animal that could have yielded the milk found in that same diary. One
of the rules of the law said that you couldn't boil a kid goat in it's mother's
milk, so I think it could come from that. I guess a cheeseburger could
theoretically transgress such a rule cuz the cheese usually found on US
cheeseburgers is made of cow milk, and the burger is from cow, both cooked
together.
