My wife's friend is coming to tea and she is a muslim. I haven't got much money, and all I have left in the fridge is some pork mince. Do you think I could pass the pork mince off as turkey mince, and feed it to this muslim? Do you think she would know?

Ask yourself this. Would you be willing to eat cockroaches passed off as turkey?
Apparently it tastes about the same. So you wouldn't mind... or would you?

I believe that that would not be moral to do. We must all, as human beings, respect each other to the utmost extent in order to maintain peace. That action would hurt everyone involved, and yes, I think she would know. The better thing to do would be to simply tell her you haven't got much money, and just have some tea and cakes. The purpose is just for a visit, right? She would respect you and value your friendship much more if you were truthful, and not decietful. If you all enjoy the visit, you could even plan another visit at a time when you will be able to honor her dietary needs. She would much respect you for this. Please don't try to do what you asked, there are much better ways to live.

That is SO wrong! You are so rude, plus I think she'd figure cos she's probably eaten turkey mince before and knows what it tastes like!! You're gonna have to do some quick thinking - and some shopping!!

the koran says that muslims can eat pork if nothing else is available, so serve it up but be honest (or make out you didn't know) and let her decide whether to eat it or not dont try to pass it of as turkey as that disrespects the meal

Yes, she would know. Because it's a taste and texture and colour (even cooked) she's never seen at home. She's not stupid.
Surely you have eggs in the fridge? Or borrow some for her.

Since she never had pork before, she won't know the taste...but she may know the taste of turkey...
You in BIG trouble my son. Protect your head!

Its better to tell her not to come to your home clear cut, or tell her that you can't offord to serve her better because you are running short of money instead of decieving her as getting her eat pork , as i know deceiving someone is not allowed in any religion !!!

Sorry. It doesn't matter if she twigs or not. It is dishonorable to force someone to go against the tenets of their faith, even if they remain in ignorance that they have done so.
Why not just have a vegetarian meal instead?
