Many Jews eat what is called Kosher food; it is much the same as what other people eat, however, they can only eat fish that have fins and scales and land animals that have split hooves and chew the cud (Deuteronomy ch.14). Fowl have other restrictions. Land animals have to be slaughtered in a certain way by a person trained specifically in the correct way; this person is called a 'shochet'.
There are a large number of Jews do not keep kosher, though. They eat the same food other people in their countries of residence do.

What a Jew eats is typically dictated by where they live. Religiously observant Jews will only eat kosher food which is not a style of food, but rather, a set of rules for the preparation and consumption of food.
Jewish people eat food that is primarily kosher. This is food that is blessed by a rabbi before being packaged and/or shipped. There are also other miniscule rules associated with what Jewish can and cannot eat.
In order to be kosher, food has to be prepared according to the kosher-laws (see Deuteronomy ch.14). These are explained in detail in the Talmud-volume of Chullin.
* Meat must be from those land animals which have split hooves and chew their cud (such as beef, venison and mutton).
Fish have to have scales and fins. Shellfish are not kosher.
Birds cannot be among those listed as forbidden in the Torah (Deuteronomy ch.14) and cannot be hunters/scavengers. In actual practice, today we eat only those species concerning which we have a tradition that they're permitted, such as domestic chicken, geese, pigeons and turkey.
* Animals must be slaughtered in the manner specified by Jewish law and must be free of all disease. In actual practice, those who keep kosher purchase meat which is certified as having been prepared in the kosher manner.
As much blood as possible must be removed from meat before cooking, since consumption of blood is forbidden (Leviticus ch.17). This is done at home or by the kosher butcher, through salting, soaking and rinsing.
* Dairy and meat cannot be combined in the same meal and there's a waiting period between eating one and then the other. After dairy: 1/2 hour. After meat: 6 hours for most Jewish communities.
* Fruits and vegetables should be checked to be sure they're free of bugs. Some Jews avoid cauliflower, asparagus, and the like, because of the difficulty in checking them.
Additionally, food must be prepared and handled following kashrut-laws and with kosher ingredients only. Processed foods should be labeled as having had kosher supervision during their processing. Any food that does not meet these requirements cannot be eaten by those who are religiously observant Jews.
