For what its worth, the handful of Gen X Ismaili Canadians I know eat pork.

I agree that, traditionally, Ismailis did not eat pork.

Here are the 2 pork free Ismaili recipes from the Serious Eats article about Khoja Cuisine.

Yum! I love mandazi.

Yup, I have a few boomer friends who do eat pork, but I would never mention this to another friend whose uptight wife would be on the warpath if she knew.

Theoretically they do not drink alcohol, but most do.
