Am I the only one who can't eat pork

[bunyip]

Makes me quite ill, has always been the case although I can eat cured meat such as salami, bacon and ham.
It is frustrating when we go to a BBQ and they have smoked ribs and all I get is a salad because almost everyone does pork ribs (we do beef but hard to find beef ribs with some meat on them).
Anyone else suffer from this, and I often get asked if I am jewish.

I LOVE pork, we eat it here quite often... Like these ribs,

Sometimes I'll buy a pork roast, cut it into long chunks and cook it the same way I do ribs... DANG, it's good!

Is it because it runs up your blood pressure? I know several folks that cannot, or should eat it because of that alone.

I don't think anyone in my family avoids pork; whether ham, bacon, sausage, ribs, pork chops, etc.

I love pork but the wife hates it. So I eat it when she is away and sometimes when we have guests over and there are multiple dishes.

I can eat it and like it-but my fiancé loves it, so we have it more than I would prefer!

Apparently some individuals have this genetic makeup that makes pork unappetizing taste wise. My wife and her family line go back to the New England Puritans and they do not like pork. I am not as particular as to "good eats."

Sawyer_Rob- Those ribs look like good eats.

Look up lone star tick maybe a variation of that disease?
