Far-right cooks accused of serving up race hate

TROUBLE is brewing in France over a broth of pig’s tail, pig’s feet and other pig parts, all tossed into a pot with turnips, carrots and onions, perfumed with bacon and served hot.

Small groups linked to the extreme right are ladling pork soup to France’s homeless. Critics and some officials denounce the charity as discriminatory: because it contains pork, the soup is off-limits for Muslims.

Critics view the stew - dubbed “identity soup” by its cooks - as a cynical far-right ploy to penetrate the most vulnerable level of society while masking their intentions as humanitarian.
