    Since we hired a local Muslim lad our lunch options have become far more interesting. Today he is off to some purveyor of food and will return with food for all. The menu includes a whole grilled chicken on a nan bread. Complete with photo for those who cannot imagine what a cooked chicken sitting on a nan looks like.

    Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

          A few years ago I took my daughter on a ferry trip to the Isle of Man. As we had to be on the boat at about 7.30am I said we would breakfast in the restaurant and not at home. When we got there we were told that no breakfast was being served, as the head chef had taken the day off sick, and the assistant, a Muslim, refused to handle the bacon and sausages! WTF! No BACON???????????????? We ended up with tea and toast. NOT HAPPY!

            I will not eat Halal or Kosher meat. I dislike the ritualised slaughter of animals, if they are going to be killed for table that is fine, but it should be done quickly and humanely, not bled to death with a mystic standing over it sussurating spells and incantations as its life slowly seeps away.

              I would have fired the chef. There is nothing about muslims handling bacon, so long as they don't eat it, so he was being a political agitator. I have been to Morocco and Egypt, both muslim countries, and had ham, pork, bacon and gammon in both of them.

                  I have been to Egypt and had beef bacon and chicken hotdogs - both ok, but not the same as the real thing. Lots of salami at the breakfast bars in the hotel, but nothing to say if it was pig based or not.

                    Probably was. There is a large(ish) christian population in Egypt (the coptics) and they are quite content with piggerish product provision.

                      90% of Halal meat in this country comes from animals that have been stunned in exactly the same way as the rest of the meat industry before having their throat cut. There is almost no difference in the production and in the animal welfare.

                        Time to demand en masse a refund, since the ferry company broke the contact, and then get in the kitchen yourself and cook it up! :)

                                The Islamic way of slaughtering ensures that maximum blood is taken out of the animal's body due to capillary action which makes the meat hygenic for human consumption. It also almost instantaneously cuts down the blood supply to the brain so the brain does not actually feel pain. The suffering of the animal as seen by the observer is not due to pain but due to the capillary action of the blood oozing out of the animal's blood vessels.

                                    Nope, but then I don't believe that slitting an animals throat is any less painful or instant than firing a bolt into its brain in the majority of cases. Stunning isn't guaranteed, and doesn't work as it should in many, many cases.

                                    Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.
