Never Ask For Bacon For Breakfast

Source: http://www.iliveinafryingpan.com

Be prudent enough not to ask for bacon in a Muslim country. Likewise, don’t go looking for sausage, ham, pork chops, or roasted pork. Consumption of pork is forbidden in Islam, and this is clearly stated in the Quran, the holy book of Muslims. Muslims are only allowed to eat pork in extreme cases where there is no other choice but to eat pork for survival. So, be sensitive and practical and just get your regular fix of bacon strips when you return home. For breakfast, enjoy Iraq’s khubz or samoon instead, flatbread or oval-shaped loaves you can eat with butter, cheese, honey, jam, or Libna which is yogurt with olive oil. You can also munch on this Iraqi staple with candied oranges, dates, omelets, sesame paste, pastries, soup, and fruits.
