Strictly observant Jews can't have McDonald's hamburgers for two

What pork or diary products do they grill at all??


The sausage and bacon in the breakfast sandwiches, and the cheese
slices on cheeseburgers.

However, many Jews and Moslem are not that observant. But they will not
eat pork. That is a strict taboo.
The Moslem prisoner we help in prison in France draws the line at pork,
he won't touch it. But he does not insist on Halal.


Some Jews or Muslims who are not religiously observant but were brought
up never eating pork often simply don't have a taste for pork and avoid
it.


And there are certainly non-observant Jews who eat pork. Plenty.
