I’m probably dumb but why is “this isn’t garlic” funny?

[-] deadbeef79000 62 points 1 year ago

Garlic deters vampires.

The joke is that bacon doesn't deter Muslims.

Some of them actually love it.

Same energy as baptists. I had a lutheran teacher who would wear a shirt sometimes that read, "Always bring two baptists on your fishing boat, otherwise one will drink all your beer!"

One of my favourite childhood food memories was my (jewish) grandmothers roast pork. It's been 20 years since I last had it and I still haven't had crackling that good.

It really depends how strict/observant they are. I had a friend who half-arsed it and did drink alcohol on occasion. He was horrified to discover that beers often use pork fat as an anticoagulant (despite the fact beer is also haram).

I mean Muslims shouldn't eat pork, or use products derived from killing pigs for that matter, unless health or life are at risk. This sometimes becomes an issue if material derived from pigs is used in medical products, where it might become necessary to consume it nonetheless if no halal alternative is available

However being around pork is not an issue and when it comes to things like a shared BBQ good practice would be to grill the halal food before the other food, or use different roasts.
