Food Porn

In the last post I mentioned dunking Oreos in camel's milk. Of course, I would never dream of defiling National Nutrition Month by eating cookies and of course the camel's milk is non-fat. Now that I've cleared that up, back to shopping at Spinneys...

In the Muslim world, pork and alcohol are strictly prohibited. I've observed that their aversion to pork-n-beans far outweighs their hatred of Heineken. Nevertheless, Spinneys has special rooms for only Non-Muslims to enter. The alcohol room can only be entered if you are in possession of a license and this is only available to non-Muslims. I've noticed a few Emirati cars with blacked out windows picking up discreet deliveries from the special alcohol room. Not sure how that works, but somebody is having a party.

I've never felt dirty buying bacon before, but when I enter the special pork room I always feel the need to look around and see if anyone noticed that I've slipped through the forbidden double doors. I quickly make my purchase and high-tail it outta there. I did notice that Pop Tarts are in the pork room. They were always high on my list of food porn, now even more than ever.
