I say , what a load of pork scratchings !!
I reckon he wanted to keep the bacon to himself....
One thing that I cant fathom out is how people , some quite intelligent too , find a bacon sandwich offensive !! A couple of years back I was waiting for my turn to be served at a canteen in Mayday Hospital , South London. In frond of me a lady Doctor , stethoscope round her neck , fluent English with not a trace of foreign accent when she begun remonstrating with the young female server who seemed totaly lost , that Ham sandwiches were placed next to the Cheese and tomato . She was forceful demanding to know why on earth ham sandwiches were placed on a tray next to the Cheese ones !!I couldn't help by joining in and saying .
Perhaps she was Jewish, where 'meat and milk' should never be placed near each other (like many Jewish traditions based on the basis of hygenen, existing in a hot country). Many jewish families will have two sets of saucepans and plates, so the two never meat. In less orthadox families, this is only done at pesach (easter).

First you start saying Yidish prayers and now your talking about Jewish traditions. Are you a Yentl from the Pale of Settlement?
