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

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!)

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

Have you read this? It says pork AND blood products!

@ErrolTheDragon - thank you, I knew blood transfusions were prohibited but didn’t realise it extended further than that.

Lovely slur there. Maybe your attitude was the reason you bumped into so many people who behaved so similarly towards you.

UndisclosedBlackPudding · 15/11/2022 14:44

So I'm cool with EVERYTHING except the use of the name Karen to describe a seemingly annoying woman.
Just a new thing to kick off about in a deliciously bonkers thread...

PaidthepiperTuneismine · 15/11/2022 14:45

Herejustforthisone · 15/11/2022 14:42

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

If her english wasn't the best, she might not have the correct words.

But let's just all laugh at her.

WinterLobelia · 15/11/2022 14:45

Please don;t use the word Karen. It is a misogynistic slur used to demean and belittle and invalidate women. It's been used twice now on this thread.

BlackcurrantSorbet · 15/11/2022 14:45

Reminded me of this!

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.

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.

She may not have been from your religion.

jonesy1999 · 15/11/2022 14:46

"In her world "bacon" is a non pork product".....

Doesn't make her right though, does it?

I've heard it all now.

The OP already said her English was fine. Here have a spade to help with that hole.

BloodAndFire · 15/11/2022 14:47

@PaidthepiperTuneismine You have googled, and found something which you don't understand - you RADICALLY don't understand it.

'the blood thing is the issue' - you do not understand the first thing about what you have posted.

Jews and Muslims cannot eat any pork, bacon or pig products (among other things) - it makes absolutely sod all difference if it has blood or not. Pork/bacon/ham is not kosher or halal UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

Kosher and halal meat - chicken, lamb, beef, etc. - has to be killed so that there is no speck of blood left in it. That is what that paper you keep posting is referring to.

It does NOT say pork is OK but black pudding is not. FFS. You really, really, really need to admit you are wrong on this.

Read the poxy thread! The OP said she was middle aged, white and with a local accent.

She was just thick as mince. And from I can recall, that’s not a culture.

BloodAndFire · 15/11/2022 14:48

PaidthepiperTuneismine · 15/11/2022 14:46

She may not have been from your religion.

The question was what religion YOU are claiming says it's OK to eat pork but not black pudding.

You posted a link to a paper about Jewish and Muslim dietary laws. As proof of your totally wrong claim.

You are wrong. You are the wrongest of the wrong. There is no way you can twist this that is going to make that link you posted, say what you claim it says. It doesn't. You are just, simply, wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong.

The Op who was there had her pegged as a local lass.

There was a thing on the Stanley Tucci show where they had a sort of blood soup.

I saw a history program about Ancient Sparta - they had a blood soup that was made tried on air the conclusion was it wasn't great.

Herejustforthisone · 15/11/2022 14:48

God I hope the poster above is trolling us. Otherwise I hope she has someone to help look after her. Christ on a fucking bike.

brighterthanthemoon · 15/11/2022 14:48

Sorry to anyone who thought bacon wasn't pork I am sorry I laughed at this thread

Not my fight. Not my war. I don't like ridiculing people though.

I purposely avoid halal as I don't agree with their slaughter methods. That's me.

Other people avoid non-Halal for other reasons.

Laughing at someone's religious beliefs is against MN rules btw.

If in her world bacon sandwich=plain sandwich.... can pigs actually fly?

PaidthepiperTuneismine · 15/11/2022 14:27

Look. Laugh as you wish, but that is what some religions teach. Pork ok. Black pudding not ok.

Your argument and points are bonkers - the woman did not say I don't eat blood products or black pudding she said I don't eat pork. So whether or not some religions distinguish between blood and pork is entirely irrelevant. The woman was talking about pork, bacon is pork.

NO ONE IS LAUGHING AT RELIGIOUS BELIEFS. We’re laughing at a dopey woman who didn’t realise bacon was made from pigs.

What???!

In no world do people who eat kosher or halal think pork is OK but black pudding is not.

You posted a link which you claim said that. It doesn't say that. You don't understand the link you posted. You don't understand Jewish or Muslim dietary laws.

You're wrong. What would be so terrible about just admitting that you're talking crap, rather than trying to start an argument about halal slaughter instead?
