It depends where he picked up the bread and fish. I mean, there's a chance the fish isn't kosher, unless its still in its skin and you can tell, or there is only kosher fish available in that area. And with the bread, it depends on whether the bread was made by Jews or non-Jews and if by Jews, whether they were generally careful to take the dough offering off for the priest as well as the regular heave offering and tithes.
There also may be some Rabbinic problems, but that's obviously not going to be relevant to the NT authors.
I understand that in Christian translations, the word used here is often translated as "unclean". But a better translation is "impure". I don't think hygiene has anything to do with it. Why should four species of grasshopper be any more hygienic than the others? Why is a wild deer more hygienic than a domesticated horse or camel?
The animal that was killed by another animal (from Ex), or died on its own (from Deut) also probably has nothing to do with hygiene. We're only allowed to eat animals that were slaughtered by a Jew (although you may disagree with that being a Biblical requirement). And we're required to drain the animal of blood. You can't do that if its already been dead for three days.
That's reaching.
Only one sacrifice has that requirement. The others that are eaten don't.
And that particular one can be a goat too.
Some sacrifices do have until (but not including) the following night.
Including the meal offering which is made out of grain. And including sacrifices that weren't eaten.
It says that this type of sacrifice (the peace offering) has to be eaten within two days of being sacrificed. It doesn't say anything about cooking.
On the other hand, there is no commandment to eat non-sacrificial meat within any specific time frame.
Again, this word here should be "impure". So for instance, if a man who has ejaculated within the past day touches a sacrifice, it becomes impure and needs to be burned. Or if someone touches a dead body and then takes a long shower, but hasn't been sprinkled by the red heifer water touches a sacrifice, its got to be burned.
Again, this is the same type of sacrifice mentioned above in 7:18 and the verse is telling you that you have two days to eat it.
As opposed to the peace offering mentioned above which has two days and the night in between.
This verse is saying that if food came in contact with water it will become impure if placed in a vessel that is already impure. The implication being if the food doesn't come in contact with water but is placed in an impure vessel, it doesn't become impure.
The sickness here although often called leprosy is not actually leprosy. Its because of a mistake in the Greek word.

I never would have thought of that translation. But its understood to be a flow from the male reproductive organ.

That includes someone who just died a second ago. He's not any less hygienic than he was 3 minutes before.
