Haha Doug! I sometimes fry bacon, and my poor husband drools and always says how delicious it smells.
Luckily, we're each very tolerant of the other's ways.

I suppose historically, pork was rather a dodgy choice, since pigs roam freely and eat any old muck in developing countries and can carry tapeworms (but beef does too). Also, eating 'carrion' would be a mad thing to do. And avoiding blood or blood products is also sensible in the Tropics. (I adore black pudding myself)

In Tunisia and Morocco, I often saw the head and feet/hooves displayed outside a butcher's shop, showing what animal had just been slaughtered and prepared. A bit grisly, but nice to be sure what one is going to eat!
