Hmmm... how are the muslim kids learning english ever going to learn the english word for
[portuguese] || [english]
Porco..... || pig
Salsicha.. || sausage
Porco..... || pork (how is pork different from pig?)
Chouriço || chorizo
mortadela || mortadella
Presunto || smoked ham
Fiambre || cooked ham
Fiambre com mel || honey roasted ham
bacon..... || bacon
Costeleta || pork chop
Febra...... || pork steak

All that rich, juicy vocabulary that those guys are missing out on, for the sakes of their sensitivity...

Imagine showing the Lord of the Rings to an audience that couldn't handle mentioning rabbit?
