Not only is Judah not around yet, neither is Moses, and hence the the Levitical Law that defined what is Kosher and what is not.

I am no expert on Kosher, but offhand I see no problem with the meal Abraham served.

Scripture makes very clear that the line of promise went from Abraham to his legitimate heir, Isaac, then through Jacob, also known as Israel. Ismael, also an offspring of Abraham, was outside of the Abrahamic covenant promises, although he had his own promise from God that He would make Ishmael the father of a great nation.

As for the line of Abraham passing through Isaac and not Ismael who was specifically excluded, among other places, see Genesis 21:12-13

"But God said to Abraham, "Do not be distressed because of the lad and your maid; whatever Sarah tells you, listen to her, for through Isaac your descendants shall be named.

"And of the son of the maid I will make a nation also, because he is your descendant."
