Don´t you think it´s one sided not to even understand that other people might eat something you´re not used to eat? 

I didn´t say anything like that. Of course you are right. In China, they eat almost anything you can imagine and in the end they are very healty people AFAIK.

There is a saying that people in China eat anything with four legs, except the table the food is served on....

I prefer pork to beef or mutton. It always amuses me to hear poor pigs being referred to as dirty. A while ago I posted an article about e-coli bacteria to be often found in poultry. That would actually mean chicken meat is closest to faeces, not swine

What I´d consider "dirty" is anything that´s not pure meat I would never eat kidneys, brains, heart or livers, let alone guts (that´s why I find kokoreç repulsive). But that´s just my personal thing, if someone enjoys eating animal rectum, all I can say is bon appetite

Of course it´s just a cultural thing what you concern tasty and what you define as dirty. If you grew up in a society praising urine drinking, you´d be deeply convinced it´s yummy...

Editing post doesn´t help - you accused us in eating "dirty things" and it is pretty arrogant. Who said that we didn´t learn Turkish and Mediterranean kitchen? For your information, my country´s kitchen is also Mediterranean. Greek kitchen too. And I don´t think they are "sickly and repulsive". Turkihs kithcen is rich and good, but it is not the only good kitchen in the world.

Btw, what do you think, what would someone from India say to hear that some people eat the "holy" cows? Probably that they are not normal!

Uhm it´s actually small intestines; not rectum nor bowels.

As for pork; I guess iit isn´t much different than beef nowadays. But there were some very important reasons why eating pork was discouraged. (in Islam and Judaism, earlier versions of Christanity probably had it to). Pigs have far more parasites and these parasites are deadlier compared to those found in sheep and cattle.

Taenia solium: This parasite starts its life inside a pigs muscle tissue. Unlike other taenias it can form cysts in eye, brain, heart, lungs muscles etc. some of which are deadly. Even when it doesn´t cause cysts and resides in the intestines, it has appendiges to grab which other taenia lack; thus again far more harmful.

Today pigs are fed in cleaner farms and they do not resort to eating feces. Also processed products (sausages etc.) are safe. So I guess it isn´t as bad as it was in the middle ages.

i dont eat scavengers. thats all.

why dont you leave yilgun alone?

I understand why a prok-chop could kill you in the "good old days", so I understand why it was forbidden. What I don´t understand... why just pork, and not also chicken?

That is just religious conditioning. You cannot find direct answers to such questions from religious circles. Both Jews and Muslims have rather sophisticated sets of rules explaining what to eat and what not to eat. International food companies proudly indicate this point when they export foods to Islamic and Jewish countries.

The general explanation is like this (for Islam) you don´t eat the flesh of predators or any animal which feeds on its own excretion.

If you have obtained a food through illegal or unethical means regardless of what type of food it is, it is not helal to consume it.

If an animal is slaughtered by a non-muslim, or by a muslim who slaughters the animal without having a religious wash first and without asking God´s consent by repeating certain phrases, the meat of that animal is not helal.

Any sea animal other than fish is not helal.

Vegeterianism: refusing to eat meat is contrary to God´s will. However, if someone doesn´t eat meat through preference or because of a health problem. His diet is halal.

Alcohol consumption, transportation of alcoholic drinks, buying, selling and being in the company of those consuming alcohol are all haram.

In Turkey, most people don´t observe some of these rules.
