    A lot of misconceptions here. There are many non-secular jews as well as muslims. They eat pork and love it!

    Peeps are Kosher arent they?
    From the article:
    Peeps are produced by Just Born,[1] a candy manufacturer based in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Peeps were introduced nationally in 1958 by Pravin Pant Sr., a Nepali immigrant.
    They could be both Kosher and Halal. :)

    Why are Jews always portrayed as being tight fisted/mean with their money?
    I find them to be, more resourceful than tight!

    We used to live next door to a Jewish family, and I'll never forget the day the father of the house found that wheelchair in the skip!
    You know what that man did? He went straight home and broke his young lads back!

    You gotta admire that, pure ingenuity!

    The mean tight fisted Jew stereotype was conjured by a cabal of miserly Scotsmen in the early 1500s, in an attempt to deflect suspicion of their relentless meanness.

    You should go to a Russian Jewish store in Israel. As wide range of porky products that ones heart could desire.

    There are restaurants in West Jerusalem where I've had something similar to a full Irish. Wasn't as good as home though.

    I wonder what made the ancient Hebrews hate pork so much.. maybe aul Abraham had a nasty episode with bacon?

    The no pork/shellfish thing makes way more sense to me than the Conservative Christian no alcohol thing. My father's family are all Southern Baptists and they don't keep a drop in the house.

    The word 'Jew' has always kind of felt a bit odd in my mouth.
    Kind of like a curse word.

    You'd wonder how they stay away from the tempting smell of rashers while walking around town past some resturant. With the size of their noses, I'm sure the smell is even more powerful.

    The ones who drink buy cans and go down to the cow pasture. But I have NEVER seen people keep it in the house. And have you ever been to a dry wedding? :(

    It's quite a contrast from my mother's family who are all second and third generation Irish.

    Both sides like pork though.

    Was in a hotel in Ennis last year. Got up for breakfast, lovely full irish, when a group of American jews, on their way to Shannon, called in for a bite to eat. No one informed the kitchen staff, even though the hotel knew they were due. They came into the dining area and queued for food. You should have heard their guide rant and rave when they saw there was only sausages,rashers, black and white pudding available in the meat line.
    They were not happy campers at all.

    I thought black pudding was made from cows blood.All the blood for Clonakilty Black Pudding comes from Argentina apparently,who are known for producing beef.

    Actually Israel is one of the worlds leading piggories, and one of the worlds leaders in producing turkeys for the Christian Christmas market and the USA's July 4th celebrations!.

    Is it true that pigs are bred and reared on platforms and they can't touch the ground? I have a friend who lived in Israel for a wee while and he told me this story.

    God knows what you get in puddings nowadays, but in my grandfathers time, no part of the pig was wasted and black pudding was made from the blood with barley and local herbs AFAIK.
    Did you know that the only part of a pig that cannot be eaten is the squeal...

    The day that pigs can't touch the ground will be the day that pigs can fly.

    Which means that they can't eat rashers.

    Which means that they are missing out on the greatest breakfast food ever invented.
    Especially after a heavy Sabbath night.

    I think that's a shame for them.

    I don't eat rashers either. Horrible things.

    Most black pudding is made from pigs blood, except for Clonakilty. I have been a fan since as long as I can remember - my Dad's originally from near there. The Clonakilty black pudding is actually made from beef and cows blood. Curious to know where it was from, I asked them, and was told all ingredients are Irish except the dried blood they use. Some regulation about transporting liquid blood around the country, so its the only imported ingredient for all of their products (plus of course spices from far far away lands).
    Nice to know that they seem to care that the ingredients are Irish. Well as much as possible anyway.

    How awful it must be to have a hangover and not be able to eat a big slap up fry up. Nothing beats a piece of rasher or sausage dipped in runny egg, followed by some buttery toast, washed down with a cup of Barry's tea. Sunday morning heaven. (Is the Jewish sabbath a Saturday and not a Sunday?)
    Then the papers and the couch.

    I eat Quron bacon, makes me feel like a child eating pretend food tbh, but it's a good filler in a Veggie fry-up. I'd recommend to both Veggies and Jews.
