For them, by the way, you should have appreciation. It’s beautiful to see that Hashem is feeding goyim. ֹבוּטוּ¿ב ֹוּלֻּכ םָלֹעוָה ̇∆‡ ןָּזַה – He feeds the whole world with His goodness. יםƒמֲחַר¿בּו „∆ס∆ח¿בּו ן≈חּ¿ב means that gentile salami tastes good. And so if you see a gentile salumeria or you see someone standing on the street corner selling hotdogs and a goy comes over and gives money and buys a hotdog and eats it, so you should think, “Hashem is feeding him.”
So for the umos ha’olam – alright. Let them eat treif salami and hotdogs and snails. That’s very good if all you are is a tzelem Elokim. But we look down on this, “Feh! We are aristocrats!”
You never thanked Hashem for elevating you by means of your diet? Don’t miss that opportunity; as you’re walking on the avenue look for a seafood place where you’ll be able to exercise your mind in this noble activity of understanding what Hakadosh Baruch Hu did for us. When you see snails in the window, don’t just pass by. Think, “Baruch Hashem!” You should get the attitude that it’s undignified for you. It’s for gentiles to eat lobster. Gentiles can eat pork. For a Jew, not only it’s ossur, but it’s a descent to the bottom of the social ladder.
