I know plenty of Jewish people who eat pork or don't keep kosher.
But, I agree serving ham would not be a good idea. I don't think I
would even ask. Just seems inappropriate to ask someone a question
like that. Perhaps you could ask if they have any dietary
restrictions. Much better than saying, "do you eat pork?"
