3. Bacon (MEAT & FISH*)

I will never be a vegetarian, if we are to pretend that such things exist, for one simple reason: I could never rob myself of the chance to enjoy the most delicious food in the world. Indeed, bacon seems to be the hardest meat to give up, and the thing most likely to lure vegetarians back to civilisation. The smell is like man-nip. The appearance, whether it's fleshy pink back bacon, verging on cannibalism, or ruddy rippling streaky bacon with its trim of crispy fat, is always mouth-watering. But the taste! If God exists, he is made of bacon. I do not believe that there has ever been a single moment of a single day when I have not wanted bacon.

That friend wouldn't happen to be dakoopst, would it?

Personally, I think the traditional Hebrew pork ban was due entirely to the miserable state of hog husbandry in the Ancient Near East. Fortunately we now live in far more efficient and enlightened times.

Could have been dakoopst.

I can't remember any other culture banning pork in the ANC. I'll have to look into it.

The ancient British and Irish Celts were major pork eaters, and there are all sorts of references to it in the Mabinogion.
