There is disagreement between Jesus and Paul on this point in the NT writings. But the real break comes early in the Book of Acts, where Peter has a vision of a big-assed picnic-blanked covered with "unclean" (non-Kosher) food coming down from Heaven, and a Voice telling him to eat it. I think he was channeling Weird Al.

Pretty much.
That and Paul's whole rant on the subject, in which he says that the Torah (law) was a baby-sitter for the Jews until Jesus came along. Paul pretty much ignores everything Jesus said on the subject in the Gospels, leading to the conclusion that Paul never actually read the Gospels.
