In a cafe, and a woman has just complained (funny)

[QuestionableMouse]

She'd ordered a bacon sandwich and it's just been delivered to the table. She's now moaning because her bacon sandwich has a tiny crumb of black pudding on it. And she doesn't eat pork.

I feel for the poor staff having to explain which animal bacon comes from 😬

(And no, there's no vegan bacon on the menu so not a mix up!)

Yes. Thank you for stating this so clearly.

I guarantee you that Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, etc. people know exactly what is and isn't kosher/halal/pure vegetarian. Which sweets, crisps, snacks, jellies, etc. can be eaten and which can't.

You ( @AnApparitionQuipped ) are being absolutely ridiculous. And making it incredibly clear that you have no experience whatsoever of real people who follow religious dietary laws.

Were you?

Which religions would that be then?

eh? can you not read.

She litrally specifically reference people diffrent to her, shes not the one making stuff up and talking on behalf of others.

Google it.

I did, and found none. But you are lecturing us about this religion, so surely you can say what it is?

In other words: none but I have dug a hole and can’t get out of it

There was no black pudding.

Her argument for not wanting black pudding in her bacon sandwich was that she didn’t eat pork.

I suspect the poor woman thought bacon was just an exotic spelling of bison.

I would have to politely ask them to remake my sandwich because I am allergic to one of the ingredients in black pudding, but I would mostly be upset about the food waste I was causing.

of course, I see that it wasn’t black pudding at all. I have a feeling our woman who is oblivious to the source of bacon may not be ok.

She wasnt given black pudding, it was a burnt bit of bun.

I often ask for a black americano and I’ll be asked if I want milk with it?

I think people listen to part of what is said, but don’t make the connection with a black coffee doesn’t need milk

It doesn't work like that. You said you know there are religions in which it's OK to eat pork but not black pudding. What are they?

Clearly the woman in the cafe didn't understand that, because she assumed that everyone else understood her batshit definition of bacon.

Thank you!

But that’s not what your quotes say? I don’t know any religion that says pork ok but pork blood not. But yes not at all relevant here.

As you say, not at all relevant, but Jehovah's Witnesses won't eat blood - no bloody meat, black pudding or (I read) 'blood soup' ... I'd no idea that was a thing outside of the Klingon Empire.

There was a thing on the Stanley Tucci show where they had a sort of blood soup. In Puglia I think. I only caught some of it before I came over all queasy.

Here again for those who repeat the same questions to me.

Yes but… she said she didn’t eat pork. Are you the woman?!

when we lived in Germany one of my favourite puds was Eis und Heiss, ice cream with hot raspberries or cherries bliss.

Now that does sound delicious. 😋

You don't understand, at all, what you have posted.

I and other Jewish posters have tried to explain this to you.

Jews can't eat any pork, bacon, pig products.

We ALSO can't eat any meat (from kosher animals) that has blood in it. So chicken is kosher, beef is kosher, but only if all the blood is out of it.

Muslims follow the same rule.

That's why kosher and halal slaughter is different from other types of slaughter.

My grandfather was a kosher butcher ffs.

You are WRONG and the thing you keep posting does not mean what you think it does.

You would be much better off admitting that. You are embarrassing yourself.

It wasn't a slice or two. It wasn't even black pudding.

Again, I do not understand why you feel you can speak for every single person in the English-speaking world. I am not the one making generalisations that everyone understands or doesn't understand this, that or the other.

The point is - this woman didn't understand what animal bacon came from. We don't know why. The reason might be cultural, it might be social, it might be that she is of limited intelligence or has learning difficulties.

There is no valid reason to sneer at someone because they don't know what bacon is.

People who do this kind of thing are bullies trying to reinforce their own sense of superiority over someone who is different (in whatever way) from them.

That is why I find it abhorrent.
