Tried some in a hotel a while back and it was tasty, but then again, I don't know what bacon tastes like.

thanks to Daf Yomi, ...just to clarify the sources:<br /><br />thanks to Daf Yomi, Ican tell you that the source about kosher foods tasting like non-kosher foods is from one of the last chapters of Hulin (which we just finished last week), Daf 109b (at the bottom). As a matter of fact, it's the story of Yalta and Rav Nahman mentioned in your post.<br /><br />In the story, Yalta asks not for something tasting like pork, which she already knows to be the brain of a Shibouta (which simply means "fish"in Aramaic and might mean that *any* fish brain tastes like pork), but for something tasting like meat-and-milk. Rav Nahman suggests an udder (roasted or boiled, depending on the different opinions in the Gemara). <br /><br />BTW, a belated Mazal Tov on the birth of your daughter!
