When I was in high school we used to go to the A&W across the street for
lunch. It was common for the Jewish kids to order the bacon
cheeseburgers because they couldn't eat that stuff at home. We have a
Jewish friend who usually served ham at parties. My mother in law went
to great lengths to provide food at our wedding reception for a friend
of their's who was a Jaine. He not only ate all sorts of meat and other
non Jaine food, but was also into the booze in a big way.
