    I bet it’s thrilling being an underground illegal pork dealer in Iraq though. I want to hear his story.

      The very beginning of the article contradicts the headline:

      An Iraqi court sentenced a butcher to 10 years in prison on Monday for selling pork that he claimed was beef in the holy Muslim city of Najaf.

          None if his customers had ever.knowingly eaten pork. Theynhad no chance of recognising the taste taste as specifically that of pork. And different parts of an animal taste different anyway.

          Furthermore, what he was sells was mincemeat. In foods where you use mincemeat there are plenty of spices and such that mask the meat’s taste.
