I buy low fat milk if it's tesco's brand. The whole milk gives stomach issues for some reason.

I prefer premier daries whole milk

After switching to skimmed milk I don't think I could go back to full fat milk. It just seems to heavy on my stomach.

I ending up in a surreal situation today when in the local shop. I walked in and the Chinese lady behind the counter asked me if dairygold contained bacon. I said 'sorry?' assuming I misheard. But no, there was a muslim gentlemen there and he was asking for butter and needed to know if it contained any pork. I ended up spending the next 10 minutes explaining the difference between butter and spread to both of them. It was quite an involved conversation. The gentleman left to go to Dunnes to get some Kerrygold. I consider that a victory.

At work recently there was an inspection from a Halal certification board and we were all sent around a presentation on Halal etc. It's all very interesting. They really turn up their noses at Kosher.

Really?
I was under the impression that Kosher meat, meets the requirements for Halal*, but not the other way around.

*One exception being that some muslins require the name of god to spoken at each slaughter, which doesn;t happen in kosher. But only very strict muslims insist on it.

If I was muslim I'd probably be asking the same thing in a foreign country, I remember being put off these coconut cakes I liked when I saw they contained pig fat, just sounded wrong to me.

I had thought 'butter' would be a controlled/restricted description/term but there are several spreads with butter in the title which some people might have mistook for being pure butter.

Has anyone tried Coconut & Cacao slice from Natashalivingfood.ie I bought one in Evergreen today, nearly passed out with ecstascy eating it. I don't have a clue how to gauge the calories (im trying to lose weight so really should have stayed away), anyone have any ideas; it was 100g (couldnt stop myself finishing) and ingredients are - dessicated coconut, raw cacao powder, raw agave nectar, raw coconut butter, vanilla essence, salt. I put it into MFP as 500 calories but i'm basing that estimate on absolutely nothing.

I thought they were mank, don't like agave nectar and it would have been much nicer without it or less of it. As for calories I've no idea but you could try email natasha@natashaslivingfood.ie
