Do Muslims eat it? Surely you wouldn't want to know what bacon tastes like, or even to have a similar taste in your mouth?

I remember once, travelling on a plane, and one of the meals looked like slices of ham. They said it was chicken ham, but many of the passengers complained, and didn't eat it, and had no desire to eat anything that even looked like pig.

I wonder why us Muslims must try to imitate non-Muslims, even down to making our food look (and it seems taste) like pig.

Edit: Just found this, which says that to eat pig flavoured food is at least makrooh: http://www.islamqa.com/en/ref/82116/taste pork

to answer a sisters question on here about why would any one eat pig stomach or butt. Ill answer with another question... why would any one eat cow liver or brain or foot ( mugaz, kalagi, paya ) etc. all parts of the body have there own unqiue taste which some people like..

Keep in mind that in some countries suich as China they eat live frog hearts and or dogs mmmm yumm (+o(

I don't want to know I don't want to know gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh +o(
I'll say one thing about liver though, it is a good source of iron during pregnancy .. some people resort to eating dirt because they're missing minerals it is called Pica.. so they crave strange foods like liver.. I still can't imagine anyone without being subjected to some torture to willingly consciously & freely eat the afore mentioned :skeleton:
 
:sl: For those living in UK, is lucozade and ribena halal to drink?

Those beef bacon are not common. AFAIK, they are served in fancy restaurants or five star hotels only as they are quite pricey.
 
can we go back to the beef bacon? while I can see why it would be odd for those who haven't ever eaten pork products to want something that resembles pork. for those of us that have reverted ... or just reverted even... it may be something we grew up w/ all over the place. Turkey bacon, while healthy is just plan ... well lets just say it doesn't taste like bacon. also since i'm not able to exactly be out in the open on reverting, i try and use things that are good as a substitute.. easier said than done at times, but so far Allah (swt) has kept dinner from being bacon, ham or sausage.... a friend of mine in the states actually mentioned the beef bacon today too.. which is another reason why i'm curious.

it really about a good habit and practice. Since 2008 halal certified is been produced malaysian muslims mostly are obsessed with halal certified so everything need to be halal certified. i mean even cosmetic products, toothpaste, leather products and etc. Eventhough we went to indonesia...we still questioned about the halal food (and i just came back from there and all of my tour members total 29 all got diarrhea ...lol talking about eating strictly halal ;D).

Next year will be a new dimension since next year onwards no other company can do halal logo ( we have cases where they did halal but actually have DNA pig in the instant coffee).

Malaysian even created dna pig detector very fast and quite accurate ( i was wondering if i can test my blood since i've learnt that pig dna cannot be destroy once it is in your body +o( ) so there are cases even the company example Tabascos sauce is halal certified they still contained pig dna. so now most of the supermarket is to ban or to acknowledge that the product is not halal.

I have to say that turkey rashes( bacon as u call it) is just the same, I looooove it. I found it in some Islamic market shop. And asda does halal lamb sauages there yummy too :)
