Would not the pork -- bacon or ham -- on the omlette still be objectionable as the fat would have run into the plate while cooking? At the same time, would it not have been prudent to have requested the appropriate type of meal at the time of booking...that's what special meals are all about. And particularly when traveling on a carrier that comes from a part of the world where pork is pretty much the default meat substance after the universally-accepted chicken? Whenever i fly CX in Business or Economy, I always request a Kosher or Muslim meal so I will not have pork. In First, the selections are wider and one has a better opportunity to make appropriate choices.

As for lifting the pork with her fingers...well at least she didn't stick them into the congee to remove any chunks that might have been present. This is the reverse of FAs on QF who were the first to demand rubber gloves back in the 80s when the first stories of AIDS started to appear....ad made it a clause in their collective agreements. It is always interesting to observe how different FAs will approach picking up the used hot/cold towels: some with tongs, some with gloved hands, and some just with their bare fingers.
