Pork is proscribed, not by religion, but a ( Fady) that their ancestors brought in their beliefs.
During our first cruise, the crew sometimes forgot to warn us Laetitia and myself in advance of a particular Fady. Once we had to distribute 5 kg of delicious peanuts coated in caramelised sugar that were to decorate several cruises from coffee breaks to the delight of children of a village in Cap St André.
