Gad Ben-Ami ,   Israel   (11.10.14)
Family and I visited Dachau recently - some of the family members do not eat pork for obvious reasons. When I requested, at the cafeteria, if there were any dishes without pork, the staff replied no and what I thought was unfriendly asked why. No concept or no willingness to understand

Are there any pork dishes in Mea Shearim restaurants or Yad Vashem Museum where I can order scramble egg and bacon for breakfast, is there a restaurant to start with? ,...

It is acceptable in modern Europe to have vegetarian food available. It is very unusual to not have even one vegetarian option on a menu in a restaurant or cafeteria, particularly a Public place, museum etc. This is not just about Jews it is just the way the modern world functions nowadays. I am a Polish Catholic but I am a vegetarian. Maybe it's been some time since you have travelled in Europe? Many people don't eat meat, in Europe we have Hindus, Jain, Muslims, Jews and some are just plain old vegetarians who don't want to eat meat in a public place.

It is not about their customs but about sensitivity. As this is a place of Jewish pilgramage and of great suffering for the Jewish people, you would think they might be a little senstive and have an offering without pork, like chicken. They do eat chicken in Europe, and beef and fish for that matter.

Peter ,   Jerusalem   (11.17.14)
No dishes without pork at the cafeteria? Right. Is anyone supposed to believe there were not even cheese croissants or potato chips for sale?
