Also, see here for the first ever Bacon Salt commercial.
CR
They had to give in at some time, they were late but we will forgive them for their wrongdoings. Going to order me some of that stuff. And what is up with american interiors get some class ffs.
If this was true, I will consider to give my moslem girlfriend a tasty bacon-flavoured steak (can be beef or lamb):laugh4:
Great idea anyway... :dancing: Bacon is delicious, too bad not all of us can taste it...
It is real. I don't think it's Halal, just Kosher.Quote:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Put it on dog steak
I think if something is Kosher it is also Halal but the opposite is not true...not sure though.
Anyway bacon is worth going to Hell for so I do not see the point.
heck, this isnt something nerw. MorningStar Farms also makes fake bacon that my friends who dont keep kosher says tastes similar to the real thing.
Meh, if I was keeping my diet kosher/was fasting, I would not eat it. It defeats the whole purpose of kosher/keeping a fast. The purpose is sacrifice, or at least for the fasting part. One is akin to a lawyer looking for those legal loopholes by searching for all these replacements. Faith is not about this. If there is a God, he would not like this. Then again, I am an atheist, but that is beside the point.
way to miss the idea behind jews keeping kosher...Quote:

but it has nothing to do with sacrifice.
Why?
If you're not eating pig you need a good reason. IMO.
No need for that. There is a reason why I said "at least for the fasting part". I have an idea of what it is. Supposedly kosher diet is good for you and it helped the Jews avoid certain poisonous fares, such as the part about not eating any aquatic life that does not have scales. I still think however that one is committing a sin by desiring those foods that are forbidden and going through great lengths to obtain replacements.Quote:

also has to do with avoiding assimilation.

seriously. one of the reasons why judaism has survived for many centuries is because of keeping kosher.
Hmmm, I always though circumcision had a larger impact. Or at least equal.Quote:

There is no agreement on the purpose of Kashrut. It's not explicitly stated in the Torah. It could be an arbitrary test of faith, to seperate Jews from other cultures, a guideline for healthy eating, or other reasons unknowable.Quote:

no its been the thing which has kept us apart form the others. why do you think so many reform/conservative jews have lost most/all connections with judaism? they dont keep kosher. look at the pagan religions. they died out, they didnt keep kosher.Quote:

i am what is known as Modern Orthodox. we maintain a healthy connection with the outside world, yet are still orthodox in our religious beliefs.
maybe a thread explaining judaism is in order?
I do not like being called Pagan but you are not saying it with malice. :2thumbsup:Quote:

you are pagan? cool! :2thumbsup:
Well...I am an atheist...but if I just had to believe in something I would be a believer of the ancient Greek religion. :greece:
So that makes me a pagan atheist...or something like that :beam:
Have some (extremely limited grasp) of christianity and the islam but I know absolutely zip about judaism, so explain away.Quote:

My perception of Kosher is that it is kept because of tradition. It always has been, so it always will be, that kind of thing. Sacrifice was never an aspect of it that I was ever taught. That said, I wouldn't put quite as much weight on the value of kosher in Jewish history as hooahguy. Jews have remained separate from other cultures and religions for many reasons, some self-imposed, some imposed by outsiders. Kosher cuisine is certainly part of this, but I wouldn't say it's the dominant reason.Quote:

A lot of what most people consider to be Jewish food is really just a sub-class of Slavic foods that were understandably dominant for the Ashkenazi. If you go to the old Jewish ghettos in Spain or Italy, or find a Beta Israel family i, you will find them eating Kosher variants of Spanish, Italian, and Ethiopian cuisine, respectively. Latkas, pastrami, and gefilte fish are more widely associated as Jewish foods simply because the Ashkenazi are the dominant Jewish community. There's nothing about the religion itself that makes people eat that stuff.
Lol got exactly the same thing going on. Stupid Halal reglementations.Quote:
