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!)

Maybe he's being confused with David Cameron

KvotheTheBloodless · 15/11/2022 14:22

@fairgame84 why doesn't he just order a flat white? As that's what he ends up with. Or even a latte with minimal foam?

I have no idea. I've suggest this everytime but he sticks to his sad foamless cappuccino.

What is going on

Applesandcarrots · 15/11/2022 15:26

I am loving this thread!

And now people also know which uni to not send their kids in😂

PaidthepiperTuneismine · 15/11/2022 14:27

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

No!
Those passages teach that neither pork nor black pudding is OK.

If you follow any of the religions that have an issue with pork, it is with pork AND blood.
You have seriously missed a bit if you think it is ok to eat pork and not blood under those circumstances!

You're the very ones who ousted Jeremy Corbyn for being antisemitic? Same people? Yeah?

You do understand that this isn’t a club, yes? It’s a site with something like eight million unique visits per day, so who is this “you”?

You (as in you, not as in the general “one”) made the claim above that observant Jews can eat pork, so it’s really not anyone else who seems to have issues with Judaism.

CopOut27 · 15/11/2022 12:31

Didn’t eat anything with a face

What's funny about that? It's an easy way to explain what you don't eat and the term has been around for decades.

AnApparitionQuipped · 15/11/2022 13:53

Not correct. There are well known issues in some areas with meat being sold under misleading descriptors:

I know this thread has moved on, but can I snigger a bit about the newspaper article linked here with "fried cabbage sold as crispy seaweed" as an example of misleading food, and wonder if the Trading Standards team involved thinks crispy seaweed is made from actual seaweed?!?

The person who said it ate chicken.

PaidthepiperTuneismine · 15/11/2022 15:09

It might have been this one.... but maybe not.

So a pretty poor degree, and definitely not one that allows you to try to tell a Jewish woman that her religion allows her to eat pork, as you keep doing.

Well done you.

On the other hand, it does probably qualify you to work in a cafe, so please, ask your manager to keep an eye on what you serve and to whom.

Dear god what's funny about it was that it was being applied to chickens, who, last time I looked, have faces.

This thread man.

toomuchlaundry · 15/11/2022 15:31

@Pasc611 because that person if I remember correctly was eating a chicken sandwich but didn't want bacon in it as they didn't eat anything with a face

mam0918 · 15/11/2022 15:32

I will lighten the thread by adding a few personal anacdotes, 1 of me being thick and 2 of others:

  1. I am allergic to pork/beef/sheep/rabbit as mentioned previously, I did not fully understand this as a child and had a VIOLENT reaction to jelly babies. I told people for years I was allergic to jelly babies and people laughed at me.

Turns out I AM allergic to jelly babies because jelly babies are just melted pork rind and food colouring and a sprinkling of icing sugar... its basically a jazzy scratching but being allergic to pork sounds less insane than 'jelly babies try to kill me'.

  1. At my wedding I had a guest (who had been asked dietry requirement and said 'non') complain they all left early to get takaway because they where starving since non of them like Turkey and that 'all that was on offer'... Ok but we had a hog roast, the only turkeys at our wedding where the ones in the adjoining petting zoo lol.

  2. I once had a woman who INSISTED on hosting me dispite me desperatly asking to go home many times (her boyfriend was suppose to drop me off at our friends house but took me there, middle of nowhere tiny village in the moors so I couldnt leave) go through EVERY meat product in existance asking if it was suitible for a vegetarian.

Litrally 'you can eat pork right', 'no', 'but chickens fine everyone eats chicken right?' 'no' 'how about bacon' 'no, thats pork again', 'but you must eat beef burgers' 'still no', 'so how about cod' 'yep thats still and animal', 'is turkey an animal' 'yep' 'so you wont eat that either' 'yep' 'but you must like steak though'... honestly 4 HOURS I will never get back.

I'm waiting for bacon lady to get her story in The Sun. Can just imagine the exaggerated desperately sad face posing with offending sandwich

UndisclosedBlackPudding · 15/11/2022 12:35

Lots of UndisclosedBlackpudding prejudice here.

I can't eat black pudding, all that blood just makes me feel ill. I'd eat it when I was a kid but once I found out about the blood I couldn't eat it. Nothing to do with it being pork though.

brighterthanthemoon · 15/11/2022 15:35

Is black pudding in the scriptures?

@mam0918 why did you have a hog roast you can't eat at your wedding?

gogohmm · 15/11/2022 15:37

I will admit that despite munching my way through plenty of irk products, I can't stand black pudding, I've had a fry up where they had obviously put the black pudding onto the plate than removed it when someone checked the order chit, I could taste it!

FarFromTheStart · 15/11/2022 15:37

PaidthepiperTuneismine · 15/11/2022 15:19

Well do you know why he was deemed to be antisemitic?

Yes, he supported an antisemitic mural, described Hamas (whose charter calls for the genocide of all Jews) “friends”, was close with Read Salah (who spreads the antisemitic blood libel), and was head of Labour when the EHRC found that it was rotten to the core with antisemitism and that his own office had acted to protect those accused of antisemitism.

But I’m sure at this point that you’ll say that none of these is a problem.

Oh, and he then lost the Labour whip for refusing to accept that he had done anything wrong, and accused the EHRC of being part of a plot against him (those damned, un-named plotters with their accusations of antisemitism!)

midsomermurderess · 15/11/2022 15:38

‘Citizen of Moronia. They are everywhere’. And as this thread shows, very highly represented on this site. ‘You are being unreasonable to assume that people know what ‘’bacon’‘ is because, erm, culture. Mother of God.

I love bacon

I despise
