  'I’m a Muslim,’ said Samad, pushing a plate of pork away. ‘And my Rita Hayworth leaves me only with my own soul.’
  
  ‘Why don’t you eat it?’ said Archie, guzzling his two chops down like a madman. ‘Strange business, if you ask me.’
  
  ‘I don’t eat it for the same reason you as an Englishman will never truly satisfy a woman.’
  
  ‘Why’s that?’ said Archie, pausing from his feast.
  
  ‘It’s in our cultures, my friend.’ He thought for a minute. ‘Maybe deeper. Maybe in our bones'.
