    Yesterday I had a Subway with ham inside it in front of all my family and they were all "I swear I can smell ham" but I just pretended it wasn't the case and damn it was good


    Wow, that is impressive.

    Probably was the knowing that your family wouldn't approve that made it taste all the better.  Tongue

    I never tried pork. Even though my friends keep saying it's the best meat ever and you don't know what you're losing.
    I think it's mental. I don't have problem with alcohol but if I think about pork, I just feel bad.

    I'm going to try eat it next month. I'll try a Hamburger with Bacon or some sausages.

    What is the best thing to try for the first time?

    Barbecued spare ribs. Marinate them first, and then cook them slowly until the meat is almost falling off the bone. Totally awesome. Goes very well with a good dry ale. Afro

    I ordered the biggest all kinds of pork filled hoogie a few weeks after i could finally admit to myself that this wasnt making any sense.  It was delicious.    Washed it down with some cold beer  dance  It was a rebellion it was like a regular sandwich only the bacon was like ERRRRRRRMMMAAGAWWWDDD.   But the fact that I was telling islam to stuff it made it taste that much better

    bacon is delicious. Lots of people don't like ham or pork in its multiple varieties, I'm not a huge fan of them, but undoubtedly smoked bacon is one of the greatest flavours and tastes that exists.

    Oh yes and chorizo too. Much more than pepperoni. I mean that is absurdly delicious.

    Yeah, I’ve had kangaroo too. It was a real WTF moment for me when the option was mentioned. Nonetheless, quite nice. Like a lighter beef. Though it’s been so long I can’t really remember. May have to try that again!

    My theory is that it was a way to allow the Arabs to eat an animal that was considered “unclean” under Jewish law. As many of the rules of tahara and dietary laws are bitten directly from Judaism, and  as the camel is actually impermissible to eat under Jewish dietary law, Mo needed a way to not deprive the Arabs of vital and customary food source while saving face against his Jewish detractors.

    See Mikveh, the Jewish bathing ritual.
    Quote
    Its main uses nowadays are:

    by Jewish women to achieve ritual purity after menstruation or childbirth;
    by Jewish men to achieve ritual purity (see details below);
    as part of a traditional procedure for conversion to Judaism;
    to immerse newly acquired utensils used in serving and eating food.
    In Orthodox Judaism, these regulations are steadfastly adhered to, and consequently the mikveh is central to an Orthodox Jewish community, and they formally hold in Conservative Judaism as well. The existence of a mikveh is considered so important in Orthodox Judaism, that an Orthodox community is required to construct a mikveh before building a synagogue, and must go to the extreme of selling Torah scrolls or even a synagogue if necessary, to provide funding for the construction.[5] Reform Judaism and Reconstructionist Judaism regard the biblical regulations as anachronistic to some degree, and consequently do not put much importance on the existence of a mikveh. Some opinions within Conservative Judaism have sought to retain the ritual requirements of a mikveh while recharacterizing the theological basis of the ritual in concepts other than ritual purity.

    I wonder if it would help if people had a clear overview of all the thou shalt and shalt nots.  It feels as if people are being asked to break many different taboos on a completely ad hoc basis.

    Some will be very difficult.

    But if there is a clear strategy, some soft things to sensitise, then gradually as confidence increases, tackle bigger ones?

    A taboo scale?

    On the hair thread, I have been amazed at the traditions and how they are reinforced.  It feels as if it is similar for pork.  Let us be clear what the scholars have said about eating pork, what the person in the street will say.

    Do the same for all the taboo - sex outside marriage, alcohol, gambling.... and slowly unravel the binding chords.

    Not everyone can slice through them like the Gordian Knot!

    Muhammad had little understanding of what goes on in the digestive system of a pig and decided that the fact that pigs eat certain things means that the meat is somehow comprised of the same material. That is my guess of course.

    Agreed, lots of things in Islam are just the result of Mo having a fetish for Christianity and Judaism(though obvs he was totally special because he left his people's 'religion' so he had to start to his own). I could work with Yuppy's reasoning for the Jewish Mo tho.

    Alot of muslims view pork as dirty but I never did even during my muslim days.


    I've always just thought of it as " not allowed" similar to alcohol.

    never have and never will - just have an aversion to it like many on here


    I dont drink alcohol either - not because i have an aversion but because i am not aprticularly bothered about having it.
