I've had several Muslim friends try to convince me that they conveniently hate bacon. I'm not saying you're a liar, but I've never met a Jewish or Muslim person that actually admits to loving bacon, and that somehow seems wrong to me. Oh, have you tried kosher shrimp? It's made of Alaska Pollock fish (insert polish joke here). Supposedly, it's a reasonable approximation. I'm sure with the right sweet and sour sauce or garlic and butter concoction, you could be brought back to shrimp nirvana.
Delving back into Kashrut for just a minute, the question of why is what interests me. Is it really just "this is the common interpretation and I trust G-d", or is it something more like a test of obedience or self-control?
