    It's meaty.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,797 ✭✭✭Kevin McCloud


    Depends on how its cooked.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,129 ✭✭✭Arsemageddon


    Halal pork is the bees-knees.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,294 ✭✭✭thee glitz

    I should have been much more specific. This is AH afterall :rolleyes:

    What do people think of Halal meat ethically?

    From an ethical point of view it's both meaty and tasty.

    Because animal cruelty, it's a bit disgusting.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,252 ✭✭✭FTA69


    Nearly all the meat I eat is halal. It tastes exactly the same as normal meat of the same quality.

    I agree totally and avoid as well. I found that sometimes when I air my views I'm called intolerant and was wondering if my views were shared by anybody.

    What's your opinion?

    Personally I disagree with Halal meat and avoid it completely. I don't agree with the method of slaughtering animals under halal guidelines.

    Do you get Indian takeout? Chances are it's halal.

    Go to Subway in Ballsbridge? It's halal.

    Go to a Kebab shop? Probably halal.

    Nothing wrong with it OP.

    Its 100% Kosher.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,655 ✭✭✭✭Tokyo


    I don't have an issue with it, ethically or otherwise.

    Most kosher butchers in Ireland and the UK stock Halal meat

    Nope, I'm not very good with spicy food and I have a bit of a bland taste so it's usually pub grub or european cuisine for me.

    Also no, my local subway is not halal, and even if it were I only eat pork there.

    as above I don't eat that type of food, I would prefer a sandwhich to a kebab anyday

    This was asked earlier this year, a lot of posts.
    Worth a read

    I don't do any of these. There's some places you can go where most takeaways are halal :(

    I choose NOT to support barbaric medieval practices carried out in the name of non - existent sky faries or the fcuktards who profit from them.

    Muslims can eat Kosher meat as well as Halal as a matter of standard.

    I used to work in a chicken restaurant that served Halal chicken - the poor chicken that came into us was always very battered and bruised with broken bones and sometimes missing limbs.

    I always wondered if the bruising was done after death or before death but it always looked like the chickens were battered to death!

    Regular butchered chicken we used to get in for a different restaurant was always bruise and break free and they always had all their limbs so the bruising is not a thing that happens as standard.

    Oh and the chicken was always full of blood - it used to take a lot of heavy duty washing to clean it all out or else it dyed the chicken pink which remained after cooking, making cooked chicken look raw!!

    I would try to avoid places that serve it.

    Marinate it in Irish Whiskey overnight before cooking it.

    I asked for a blt in the Subway in Ballsbridge and they tried to give me turkey bacon. F*ck that. I wonder why there is a halal Subway in Ballsbridge. It's not like the area has that many muslims.

    Good !


    Now if only we could get the ones in London to stock proper Black Puddin too....

    I think it's a bit hypocritical for a meat eater to get up in arms about the ethics of halal meat tbh. Halal or not, the animals aren't treated humanely.

    I do eat meat now (lapsed vegetarian :o) but I'm under no illusions as to how it gets on my plate.

    I disagree. I was vegan for a number of years but lapsed because of a health issue. I personally feel guilty for eating meat but the least I can do is try my hardest to ensure the meat I'm eating came from an animal who's suffering was as minimal as possible
