They blank out the word 'pork'...DH who is Muslim finds this hilarious! Is this standard here? It's the first food-based show I've watched so wouldn't have noticed before.

I don't envy the person who has to go through every episode and blank that out - tedious!

Bought two tubs of cream for a dinner party last week - "Country something-or-other" brand - and on reading through my docket later was a tad surprised to see the cream listed in black and white as C***t dbl cream!!!

It cracked me up last night. Every p*g or p*rk bleeped out but not the sh*ts or worse. I did hear bacon slip through though. It certainly makes for enjoyable viewing!

The editing is hit and miss on most channels, makes me laugh when they edit sh!t out, then leave the F-bombs.

I find it strange, as the word or the animal itself (on the animal channels) is not censored anyplace else I know of - I don't watch Fox much but I do watch a LOT of cooking shows - they talk a lot about the haram animal and its various bits and pieces.

It's silly :) It reminds me of the Victorians who referred to underwear as 'unmentionables' - and the thing is, I don't know any Muslims who object to the word itself, just the actual meat and the consumption of it. I haven't heard sh!te yet WaxMuch but granted I don't often listen as I'm too busy salivating over the grub they cook!

Oh I was cracking up laughing over that last night - what's the point when swine is readily available here? I know! I guess we should be happy that [i'>that[/i'> section in the supermarket isn't signposted **** for non-Muslims. :D
