Finally, the haram bacon

So yesterday, I had many things planned to get done on my first day here in Canada;

- Get immigration formalities and customs declarations completed;
- Get a SIN
- Get a Canadian number
- Try HARAM BACON

So at the airport, as I was wandering around, I saw the famous Tim Hortons, of course with a long queue.. I was not very hungry as I had just been given a meal on the flight, but I was on a mission hunting for haram bacon!! So I stood in line and bought the sinful sandwich... I did not eat it right away, as I needed to savour this historical moment, you know? So It was hours until I got to my room... And another hour after I settled in...

I put the show I was watching on the plane on, to continue the episode, and just casually grabbed the sandwich and started eating. Apparently, I HAD FORGOTTEN about it being a big deal and all O.o.. I did not realise until half way through that I was eating bacon, then I mumbled to myself with a full mouth; huh so this is bacon! 🥔🤔 I do not see what all the fuss was about being forbidden and all 🤷‍♀️ It tastes like;...meat 🤷‍♀️ I thought the forbidden meat would taste like something.. idk... something 🤷‍♀️

..and then I ate the other half of the sandwich all disappointed O.o

Welcome to Canada!
And welcome to the world of pork.

I don't think the banning of pork (for observant Muslims or Jews) is based on taste. A pig is considered to be an unclean animal.

And if you ever visit a pig farm, you'll probably agree! 😆

@DrWatson And that is as opposed to the rest of animals that are very sanitary? 🤷‍♀️🤔
@BittersweetPotato Cows use cow shampoo 😄

@BittersweetPotato Hey, I have no problem eating pork at all!
@DrWatson We're making fun of the excuse Muslims or Jews use that a pig is a filthy animal. I mean it isn't the cleanest but animals on general all smell horrible anyway. I saw cow and sheep farms and the smell was unpleasant.

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether I am not making fun. The prohibition regarding pork is in the Bible too. Some Jews honor that restriction, others do not. And I believe there are even some Christian religions that observe the Mosaic dietary laws. I respect other people's religious observances if they do not impinge on my own rights.
