“Did you know guinea pig is the national dish of Peru?” I blink rapidly, confused and thrown off by her very off-topic question. “Um, no? What the hell does Peru and guinea pig have to do with anything?” I ask looking utterly baffled. “Most Americans would hear that and weep for the poor little animal because people tend to have them as pets. Or they’d cry out in outrage because in their mind that’s wrong. Just because we as a separate society chose to make them cute little house pets, doesn’t make another society’s decision to make them a delicacy and way to feed their people, wrong.

However, the conditions of those farms and some shady activities associated to the sources of the dogs still exists.

She called out, "How come you stay with me and then I don't get to watch?" "I didn't know you wanted to watch." "I do." "Maybe next time. What would you like for lunch?" "Challah" "Not today. Second choice?" "Ham and cheese on rye bread with spicy mustard and a great pickle." "My mother would plotz!" "Plotz?" "Fall over dead, or at least fall over." "Why?" "Jews aren't supposed to eat pork or meat and dairy in the same meal." "I could have the pickle?" "Ok. A pickle and rye bread sandwich, coming up! You still want the mustard?"

she began while I took out my jotter to jot. “He doesn't eat pork meat too..” she continued.. I raised my head immediately, turning to her with a surprising look. “He doesn't eat chicken?” I asked again to confirm what I'd just heard and she nodded. “I'm being serious here, he doesn't" she replied. “Who on earth doesn't eat chicken?” I let out a short laugh. “Levi can be so weird you know.. he prefers meat and pork to it” she replied and I shook my head sideways, scribbling down the word under one of the tables I drew.

Karila always made the greatest effort she could to make them adapt to their environment, while remembering theirs. It was typical to see on the long and rich breakfast table, his full medames typically Egyptians sharing space with toast, pancakes and honey, jams, and even bacon, something not typical in her house because she grew up Muslim, they didn't eat pork in Egypt, this with lots of eggs. She put the American pinch inside her house, even though it wasn't her habit, to please her visitors. And they knew they couldn't complain about that hostess, she was the best they could get.

"Meera?" "Huh?" I blink at him, realising that I was zoned out into thinking what heaven looks like. "What would you like to eat?" "Angels—Sorry! I mean, anything you like. Just no beef or pork." I say and gulp the lump in my throat. He scratches his stubble. "No beef or pork. It is very interesting that you hold on to your culture." "Not really. I am just a victim of habits. And I don't like the smell." I press my lips in a grim line.

He looks hungry because he went first there now. We also stand up and followed him. There are a lot of foods inside that are inspired by American and Spanish Cuisines. There are pizzas, kinds of pasta, and snacks that we aren’t familiar with. Lou’s siblings seem don’t like Asian cuisines like what we love as well. When I am with my other friends’ birthday celebration, if it’s not Japanese-themed, it’s Korean where samgyeopsal is popular. Lou is more on American and European stuff and we all know that for a long time now.

"When we were in the north, we never ate raw meat." "Most of the time, we eat things raw or smoked. Preparing meals and cooking them is something we only do on special occasions. You all visiting was a special occasion." I had yet to learn that they mostly ate raw meat. It would be easier, but still. "Well, go on, you should eat your food." I took a bite of the pork on my plate. I watched as she gobbled up the raw pork. How did she stomach it?

“I wouldn't be able to either; although that is not something traditional, I heard that it is because of the overpopulation that they had to increase the culinary possibilities.” “I don't know; sometimes what is unpleasant for some people can be a delicacy for others; for example, the pig-stuffed one; have you eaten it?” “Of course, Angelo, it is delicious; mankind owes a debt to the one who invented the idea of stuffing the pig's intestines with rice, blood, and peas; it is delicious.” “That Ximena, there are many people who do not eat pork and have not tasted a piece of that delicacy, if they tasted it with an open mind, they would surely throw their beliefs out the window.”

Taryn asked as she walked up to Kat, who was placing the rum punch in the refrigerator. "Umm, yeah, yes he does," she replied with a nod. "Okay, but not Dustin though." "Dustin doesn't eat ham?" Kat was shocked. "Nope, he doesn't eat pork or any other meat other than poultry." "Not even fish?" Kat inquired.
