Halal & Pork (33)
Just to add.
When my ex (gluten- intolerant) moved out, I went to the kitchen and baked. I finally felt that I got back my freedom & joy from cooking and baking.

never been someone in these backgrounds,beliefs..etc.thank god I couldn't live without bacon.When my ex (gluten- intolerant) moved out, I went to the kitchen and baked. I finally felt that I got back my freedom & joy from cooking and baking.
;)
but nevertheless I don't believe in giving up certain things in life just to be with someone. Relationships are all about compromise,not to be unhappy and pretend your something your not!nothing. BTW this is a good topic for a thread..

Katiko: Imagine: There is this nice guy/girl writing to you few months already wanting to travel long distance just to meet you.
He/she is smart, funny, … . And opened to the possibility to move to your town if it would turned out you would fell in love together.
There is only one "problem": food. He/She is muslim (or not in case you are).
And you love food & good alcohol You just love bacon. C'mmon, is there any meat product better that crisp bacon? (Well, there actually is: pata negra de bellota. And few smaller products ;)) )
Giving that both of you are looking for some serious relation you would assume that if you meet, have great time, fell in love,… you would one day move in together.
And live happily ever after
Unless...
Somehow I can not imagine a house of a muslim where it smells like fried bacon, and there is a half of the cured pig leg taking half of the countertop. Do you? ;)
It may be I am exaggerating. Or not...
Do you have any experience with inter-religious (muslim, jewish, non believers, etc), food conflict in the couple? Was it easy to give up on products you like?
If not how would you go about it yourself?

as long as the guy in question doesnt eat pork , surely he would respect you enough to respect the fact that your beliefs do no prohibit you from eating it ?

Probably he couldn't accept pork in the kitchen, it's loathsome for the muslims. But about wine or beer, many aren't so very strict.

you naughty boy
I never heard that muslim cannot touch pork. I just heard they are not allowed to eat it.

ellimere: as long as the guy in question doesnt eat pork , surely he would respect you enough to respect the fact that your beliefs do no prohibit you from eating it ?
I am pretty sure you are right. And that he/she would not insist on you not eating it
Yet, he could request you do not cook it at home, if e.g. he cannot tolerate the smell (I know some vegetarian who don't like meat smell, and I don't like the smell of the pork myself, except bacon & pata negra)
But if you like to cook that could be a serious restriction on your invention (e.g. I am planning to bake a guinea flow covered in bacon stripes, as it seems to be one of the best recipes I found.

You would quickly learn where the Muslim person stood on these issues.
I know non-practicing Muslims who eat pork and drink alcohol.
Muslims who are raised to revile pork will not want to be any where near it.
By comparison, how about a person who cooked rat or cat or dog?

I think that the food issue would be the smallest problem in a relationship with someone from a different culture.

I would never consider dating a muslim. period. end of story. problem solved. I can't possibly imagine being able to fall in love with any from Islam. The gulf is just too wide. I recommend simply not starting down that road.

so it would be very important to establish right up front that these things are not changing....that she is not going to give up her current habits & religion, and not going to convert. I doubt a muslim would ever agree to that, as least not a devout one. So, again I just would not go down that road.
For anyone who is extremely religious,(as far as being able to live together); it would be a compatability issue and would probably depend on how devout the person is.
I mean, Catholics are not supposed to eat meant on Fridays, but it has been 20 years since I even thought about adhering to that practice. I couldn't care less, truthfully...(as an example)

GUZMAN1: Probably he couldn't accept pork in the kitchen, it's loathsome for the muslims. But about wine or beer, many aren't so very strict.
Yep. I had this conversation before with someone... just a few casual 'what ifs' scenario.Some drink was totally acceptable. But... pork in the kitchen was not. And the deal breaker was having to prepare pork.

I have experience with dating 2 Muslim men. The first guy was from a very wealthy family in UAE which is next to Saudi Arabia. Although raised Muslim, he kept wanting me to take him to a church! I wasn't going at the time, so it didn't happen. I only dated him a couple of months, and I think he was simply curious. He never said anything negative at all.
The second guy was from Iraq, and I was with him for 4 years; lived with him for half of that time. Even though he was Muslim, he was not very "religious"--I never saw him pray, ever, and he only went to Mosque with friends once, if ever. He never tried to preach to me. I loved bacon and was free to cook and eat it anytime, even though he would not eat it. Some people are relaxed about things, and others are rigid minded and fanatical! It varies from person to person. I would never associate with a fanatical person, or zealot. I can assure everyone that Christians tend to be the worst at cramming their beliefs onto others; I've only had one Muslim ever preach to me, but many, many, many Christians and Mormons, Jehovahs Witnesses, etc. have done so (includes door to door). Right now I'm with a Rastafari and I also have known/do know a few Rasta aquaintances, and they normally are not preachy. They tend to be very happy go lucky people.

I dont belong to any religion,but i dont like eating pork,too.Its may be cos pork is not popular in my country and we never eat it.We mostly eat beef and lamb meet.Once i mistakenly bought a pork(i thought its a beef) and when put in the hot fryer it smelled awfull.only the i understood that its pork.I hardly made myself to washroom cos the smell made me sick.I cannot take the smell of pork.But i love crispy bacon and parma ham.He/she is smart, funny, … .
