Is “show-off” less of a sin than alcohol?

who told that to you? Christians eat pasta too, don`t they? so why do Turks eat pasta if they don`t want to be associated with what Christians eat? Some hearsays are really ridiculous and unfortunately there are so many people believing them.
The whole "pork thing" actually existed in most cultures as the pig used to be thought of as dirty. Since we now know more about this wonderful animal and realise it is not dirty at all, most cultures eat it
As I dont eat any meat, I would rather just watch the animals alive

As a pastafarian do you eat pasta? And wouldn´t that be cannibalism?

what is so wonderful about pigs? they eat shite, and their furless skin looks disgusting. Honestly I don`t understand why some people prefer it over cattle meat. It`s taste is not even so distinctive.

Pigs are intelligent creatures whose natural environment is in the woods. They are not supposed to live in farms or pens and their skin cannot cope with sun. They have to cover themselves in mud to protect their skin. They eat whatever is "thrown" at them by horrible owners, but in the wild they forage in the woods for truffles
I agree with you about pork (not nice!) but bacon is wonderful - it is the hardest thing to give up when you become vegetarian.

Yep. I actually feel sick when thinking of pork pies, my nana used to bring them for us. But bacon, really. They can forget about the sausages and baked beans in a fry up, just well fried bacon with tea is enough for me

but those pigs that live in the woods(are they called boar?) are very different from those that live in farms. They do have fur and, they look totally different. My relatives in Sivas hunt them and eat, It`s more like cattle meat, more reddish and more tasty.
as for bacon, I don`t actually get what is so great about it. it`s too greasy for breakfast.

Actually many people in Turkey told me (younger people that is). The difference between pasta and pork is that it is not forbidden by Quran.
And you dont need to speak so belitteling to me. I was giving a reason why some muslim Turks can justify their action of taking alcohol but not pork meat for themselves by using Christianity. I did not say it is a valid reason or that I believe all Turks feel this way.

Pigs and boars are from the same family, and live in the same environment. There are some farms now which allow pigs to live in their natural habitat which IS in the woods NOT on farms!!!!

Which is why I eat it for dinner
I agree with you about the breakfast thing, especially since I dont ever have breakfast unless on holidy in Turkey I relaly cant eat much in the mornings, and bacon would be too much. But you should remember it comes from a time where people needed fuel to work on all day afetr getting up before the sun stopped her sleep.

you`re right they don`t eat pork because Islam bans it, not because they want to differenciate themselves from Christians.
