My Culturally Insensitive Lunch

Today I had to test some of the new students during lunch time. One of them is Muslim and, due to Ramadan, is fasting. I also had to give this student a test earlier in the week and felt bad that the other kids were eating, but they assured me that it was OK. Today I had to test them again and I remembered as I sat down with my lunch that it is still Ramadan. They chose a seat at the table right next to where I was sitting. I also realized that for lunch my aiyi (bless her) had prepared a delicious pork chop with potatoes and carrots. And then I felt a little awkward as 1) It is Ramadan 2) I was chowing down next to a person that was fasting 3) I was chowing down on Islam's most offensive meat; so offensive that stores in Dubai that sold pork had a special for non-Muslims only section where they cordoned off said meat so that the Muslim shoppers didn't have to be defiled by its presence. Fortunately, the student didn't seem to notice. And, if they had asked, I would have told them it was beef.
