Howdy from a nice Jewish girl who's been eating all kinds of traif, including pork products, from a very tender age.

Funniest bacon bit (pun intended) I ever saw: there used to be a hot dog shop near Harvard Square, Cambridge MA, called (if memory serves me right) The Underdog. The star of their menu was called The Blasphemy -- a Hebrew National hot dog topped with cheese and bacon. A note under the menu said something to the effect of "If you don't understand why this is a blasphemy, take a visit to New York City sometime."

As Woody Allen once said: "Why pork was proscribed by Hebraic law is still unclear, and some scholars believe that the Torah merely suggested not eating pork at certain restaurants."

Cheers! (wanders off in search of a bacon cheeseburger or something)
