Yes, a Christian will gladly eat a ham sandwich. An non observant Muslim or Jew would too.
A religious Muslim or an Othodox Jew believes that he would be commuting a serious sin with no escape clause -- silly as it may be to you or I.
In any case, unless you are a fanatic you could eat food that is not a meat and not commit a
known sin for the sake of survival (a Jew could anyway). There are food preparation rules that religious Jews and Muslims must follow -- including a no contact with unclean meats according to Halal or Kosher religious law.
Personally, I would eat anything if I had to -- but I follow no dietary laws or religious beliefs. This is the exact reason why -- it's lunacy ...
