i found you guys! i'm a recovering vegetarian who's discovered a passion for cured pork products. actually, i've been rockin' the shellfish for a while now--bad jew! my family was never kosher but my parents have always avoided/disdained pork (not shellfish though, probably an idiosyncracy of pacific northwest reform jews...). they make me feel like a bad, naughty jew when i want bacon on my gardenburger or ham in my brie-and-apple crepe. amen for jews for bacon!
