"Yes," she said as she took it in her hands to gently touch him, 

"Now

I understand why you don't like pork."

I may be a bit naive or stupid... but could someone explain this line 

to

me...

I think he may be referring to the fact that Jewish people circumcise
themselves? Did i get it right? Or did he mean something different
altogether?

What he's refering to is that he makes Ryoga out to be Jewish, and a 
strict, orthodox Jew won't eat pork, because it's tabu to them. I should 
know, I'm jewish my self (although I'm not an orthodox jew). He alludes 
to this by the fact that _all_ Jewish boys, no matter how rigously they 
practice the Jewish religon are circumcised. I know my brother was and 
my family barely qualifies as Jewish.
