So I don't keep kosher, but I do my best to avoid eating pork.
The in laws are staying with us, and have apparently bought bacon (and put it in my refrigerator). They, of course, know I'm Jewish, and have always made an effort to not serve pork when I'm over at their house. Which is really more than I've ever asked for, though if I knew pork chops were on the menu, I would make other dining arrangements.
Anyway, should I be offended by this bacon? I assume it means they'll be attempting to feed it to my two year old while I'm at work.
Instead of assuming why don't you ask, nicely. They probably just want to be sure it's their for their own breakfast since they know you wouldn't be buying it.
I think if I had Jewish inlaws I would probably brush up on the dietary restrictions, but if your inlaws haven't done that then they probably don't know diddly about being kosher other than the fact that you don't EAT pork.
I doubt they're trying to insult you. I don't know how old your in laws are but I've noticed that my parents have to have exactly the same thing for breakfast every day, now that they're older. If you try to feed them something different, it throws off their routine for the entire day. Your in laws might be the same way...they can't imagine their breakfast with bacon. And so they want to be good guests and buy their own bacon so you won't have to.
Youre asking somebody if you should be offended ? If youre looking for drama go ahead and be offended. If youre not looking for drama tell your husband you dont want your kid to eat it and let the inlaws enjoy the delicious bacon while you miss out.
If your in-laws know that you don't eat pork perhaps they should have asked before bringing bacon in your home. But I agree you should ask them directly why they bought the bacon with them in the first place.
You avoid pork. Why does your child have to avoid pork?
This is less a food issue, and more of a relationship issue. What does your spouse say? Have you told your in-laws you do not eat pork? Have you told them you do not allow pork products in your home?
