Halal, is it meat you're looking for?

[Glaucus]

Ignore, read wrong.

 

[Sliver]

Why do you 'not want to eat Halal meat'. ?

Almost sums it up. However, as a consumer, if like me you don't want to eat Halal, how are you to know that the meat you buy (if Halal) was stunned or not stunned ? Currently the labelling, where it exists, just denotes Halal.

The answer was right there in my post which you quote mined.

Can you actually call those Indian restaurants then I'm pretty sure that's false advertising and thus makes them legally speaking vulnerable!

I don't want to crush your dreams but most Italian restaurants aren't run by Italians either

Well it doesnt refer to the ethnicity does it, more to the type of cuisine served. Considering Pakistan and Bangladesh were part of India at one point, its no biggie!

The majority I've been to are, unless you're also counting the ****ty excuse for a takeaway Pizza in this country then you're wrong about them being Italian food those sorts of Pizza are 'merican!

It doesn't have it currently you are correct. However, if the media didn't throw these Halal meat articles down your throat you wouldn't have given two hoots previously as to whether or not your meat from Tesco's or the local Curry house etc was stunned or not stunned.

Do people really trust traditional UK abbatoirs to stun when the inspectors are not around ?

Let's face it as we seen from the fact that Red Rum probably ended up in someones lasagne, unless you're rearing and killing the meat yourself you've either got to live in ignorant bliss or stop eating meat.

Are you sure? The CPS seem to disagree.

Damn... that means all the slack comments against the Pikies (Irish Travellers) is actually being racist! Damn it

Or buy stuff with traceability, farms that rear their own meat and sale it.

As such Curry house would be acceptable or Bangladeshi/Pakistani cuisine not lets tar everyone with the same brush and call it Indian when it isn't. False advertising therefore I'm going to start Legal proceedings!

Knowing where it came from does not equal knowing how it was treated when it was killed.

I get all my meat from local butcher. Or Costco's.. Local butcher is fantastic, great quality meat and always there to help with best way to cook it, etc. Educational. People say it's more expensive than supermarkets? Maybe a little, but its pennies in the grand scheme of things, and the quality is far superior.

Costco's aswell does AMAZING food, and in bulk - some of the fish and chunks of meat from their are devine.

I ordered a Ploughman's Lunch in the pub the other day and the barmaid came back with cheeseburger and chips.
"What's this? I asked. "A Ploughman's lunch isn't a cheeseburger and chips".
"it is if they have lunch here." She replied

I'll get my coat.

No, but there's a far better chance, as such places will be far more aware of where they are taking their animals for slaughter, and then bringing the carcasses back.

There is such a massive difference between choosing that and not caring.
and buying some random minced with zero traceability.

The meat I buy I generally know what farm it was raised on, when it was killed, how long it's been hung for, what bread it is. Even had the butchers name before. Try finding that traceability in a supermarket.

Considering many Hindu's and Sikhs are veggies, you will find the vast majority of indian restaurants being owned by Bangladeshi's and Pakistanis. Most of the public who is in uproar about Halal wouldnt be able to tell the difference between a curry house or a indian restaurant. Yes there are indian restaurants run by Hindu's and Sikhs, but they are far from the majority.

This is simply not true. There are 177 million Muslims in India. There is no shortage of Indian Muslims to run curry shops. That said, people do rarely distinguish between the various groups when it comes to take-away.

Ahh you see that's "Ben the Ploughman's" lunch if you'd've asked for "Steve the Ploughman's" Lunch you may have got the correct order although I'm pretty sure Steve would be upset about it!

yes but the indian muslims would be serving halal so my original point is valid. The vast majority of indian joints will be serving halal meat.
