When I go to India, I'm not going to demand they remove the cashews from whatever curry they're selling just because I'm allergic.

Let's put it this way, if I move to France, or China, or Iran....I won't demand they bend to my tastes/beliefs/etc. I will adjust to them. I expect the same here.
Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

I wouldn't do that, I'd (guess what) NOT ORDER IT.When I go to India, I'm not going to demand they remove the cashews from whatever curry they're selling just because I'm allergic.

That said, there probably does need to be a pork-free option in some of these communities where Muslims are a growing minority. And I'm not talking about vegetable slumgullion, either.

Huh. Thought maybe it was guilt for the Shoah. Would have been a better reason. Still very stupid, but better.
Options are fine and dandy. But to ban it all? Naw, that's BS.

Were they really serving pork that often that there needs to be any sort of big deal made out of this either way. Seems a lot of people are whining about it for no reason. (whether they agree with the ban or not)
In all my years in school I can probably count on both hands how often I had pork. If they hadnt announced it would anyone have even noticed?

That's kinda the point. Muslims came in, "NO PORK!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Well, ok, can't offend anyone, guess we can't serve pork anymore."
"WHAT? NO PORK?! BOMB IT ALL!"
It's sad. Honestly, really sad." All the kowtowing and over-reaction.....

Pork is served a lot in Germany, though I’m not an expert on kindergarten menus
I know it’s not the joke you’re trying to make, but German pork dishes are on par with American pork dishes. There was something absolutely divine about Die Post’s schweineschnitzel in Herrsching-Ammersee. I think I had it for something like three nights during the first two weeks I spent there in 2017. I also had some roast pork at the abbey (?) a little ways away. Sehr gut.
Umm...I think you mean aren't on par, because German pork destroys American pork of any cut. Most American pork has had all the fat bred out of it - the crap you buy from the meat bathtub at Kroger, Cub Foods, King Soopers, Fred Meyer, Safeway, etc. is dry and bad. Even the tenderloin is lean and is only tender because it's tenderloin.

I had the same exact thoughts.

Yeah, but I was thinking along the lines of what we do with BBQ. That’s an elevation of pork in a different and incredible way.
Germany without pork is no longer Germany
That’s the most logical post you’ve ever had here
The day Germans learn to form an orderly queue is the day Germany will cease to exist.

Play a martial march.The day Germans learn to form an orderly queue is the day Germany will cease to exist.
I agree.
I've lived 4 years in Germany and 5 years in Japan, and I never had the presumption to expect my host countries to cater to my expectations. I ate what they ate, and did my best to assimilate however possible. It never entered my mind to foist my culture on my hosts.
That's how you immigrate successfully. You defer, and adjust.
...or you give them an infectious disease to which they have no immunity and take those that don't die and put them on a reservation.
Or assimilate.
Either one.
