Muslim butcher shop

[SoCalAznGuy]

So apparently near a mosque near me a muslim butcher shop has open up. The sign says HALAL Meat Market. Everything is HALAL apaprently. So what is the quality of these places usually? Are HALAL meats of higher quality?

 

[keird]

Probably as good as Kosher.

Be sure to try the Ground Innocent Car Bomb Victim!

But, yeah, Halal should be as good as Kosher.

I dare you to go in there and ask the proprietor, "so, is Halal like Kosher?"

mmm shwarama

 

[ahenkel]

I bet you could get decent lamb, and if you like it goat too at a halal butcher shop

 

[MrMatt]

mmm shwarama

Just got a place that makes those here in my neighborhood in Boston. I go there like 3 times per week now.

 

[TheWart]

mmm shwarama

Indeed. Shwarma is delicious.

In my fairly limited experience, the best shwarma I had was actually in Paris where the avg shwarma stand (usually operated by North African immigrants) was amazing. I found it even tastier than shwarma in Israel and Jordan.

If you like goat, halal shops usually carry it. I also get my chicken from a halal store as well. My local halal butcher has fresher chicken than a supermarket brand.

:thumbsup: to local butchers in general.

Don't fund them. I'm sure there are plenty of nonmuslim butcher shops around.

a quick 2 seconds on wiki found:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halal

Islam has laws regarding which foods can and cannot be eaten and also on the proper method of slaughtering an animal for consumption, known as dhabihah

There is similarity between the laws of Dhabiĥa halal and kashrut. In Surah 5:5 of the Holy Qur'an it is written: "The food of the People of the Book [Jews and Christians] is lawful for you as your food is lawful for them." Whether Muslims factory slaughtered meats meet halal standards is an ongoing debate, and the answer depends largely on the individual being asked

They say a prayer and slit the throat of the animal instead of shooting it.

Allegedly makes the animal's death "less painful", but in fact it's MORE painful, and slower.


But that's the way it was done for centuries, I suppose.

kosher meet is amazing, I'd suspect that a muslim butcher shop would be of similar quality.

I believe there are some EEGs out there showing that there is less of a brain response to throat slitting than captive bolt stunning. I don't think I've seen them myself, though.

It should be delicious. Especially the pork chops.

I hope you're not serious, because yours is an ignorant statement if seriously meant.

Well, if he was, good old still semi-free market! I'm sure somebody will come in here and say people should be forced to buy from anybody that isn't a white male christian because they're devils.

I buy a decent bit of halal chicken beef and lamb, because it's delicious.

But of course I do have to stop at the regular grocery store to complete my meat portfolio.

You obviously think you've made some sort of incisive point.

You haven't.

Halar meat is dryer since they bleed the animal out. I would not buy it.
