Post by: FatBoy on February 02, 2013, 07:57:43: There was a company in Sydney that was claiming that their meat was Halal, they were caught out when they offered Halal pork. No seriously, they did.

When I was on a ship in the Middle East years ago, one of the options for dinner was roast pork. I had a hankering for some nice crackling, so I ordered it. When in arrived it had no crackling!! When I asked the steward where the crackling was, she said that it was "Muslim Pork" and therefore didn't have crackling. I explained to her that Muslims don't eat pork, and I still wanted my crackling, which did then turn up.

You can't bullshit a bullshitter!!! :whistler:

I was listening to this on the radio (so it must be true) and apparently all our meat is killed that way.
I do know that we have had Muslim workers in many of our abattoirs for the past twenty years.

WTF?!?! Why???

Ok it may not be Halal and it may contain pork, but that wouldn't stop most people still eating it and enjoying it!

Post by: Doggie 1 on February 02, 2013, 08:26:48: Correct.
If a little horse is OK, then surely a little pig must be acceptable.
