>>First, good to see you back here. Second, I tried to put myself in the shoes of the catholics. I am Jewish and don't eat pork. I would be offended if I worked for a company and every day someone would put a plate of pork in front of me without forcing me to eat it; just as a friendly offering <g>.

>While I was in the army, one of the cooks was Albanian, and a Muslim at that. He'd generally serve fried bacon to two other Albanians, just to spite them, or embarrass them. And... they would eat it, only in case no other Muslims were around. In all other cases, I'd take measures to sit near one of them :).
There was one time in the recent history when I was really tempted to eat it. My wife and I spent a vacation in Madrid a couple of years ago. Nowhere else in the world I ever saw more appetizing meats than bacon and all other pork products then in Spain. My wife and I even contemplated to convert, just for one dinner <g>. Maybe during our next visit.
