I eat breakfast at my hotel restaurant every morning. The hotel serves a wide range of clientele from all over the world, so I was not surprised to find some bacon in a special pot at the breakfast buffet. I say special because the pot was set apart from the other food and warns people, in multiple languages, that it contains pork. Muslims, like their Jewish cousins, are forbidden to eat pork and this pot is set aside so that even the serving utensil will not be inadvertently used on other food.
I was not surprised by this, but I was surprised to see bacon and sausage also available with the other offerings.
Then I read the signs. They offered two types of sausage: veal and chicken. The bacon that was mixed with the other food also came from veal. Apparently Arabs enjoy sausage and bacon as much as any other people, it just had not occurred to me that they would make from other animals. Personally, I found both types of sausage to be quite tasty and readily distinct from each other. The bacon was edible, but in this case, I greatly prefer the taste of American bacon. This latter may not be a preference for pork, bacon in most parts of the world taste different from American bacon. I do not know if this is because of how it is prepared or because American pigs are such a different breed from pigs elsewhere in the world. Most of our bacon comes from large farms where our pigs are feed special foods to help then taste better. That's not a real priority in nations that are still working to keep everyone fed.
