grrr we can go to Taco bell but not KFC? oh lord.. there goes my Hot wings.

Well I can't vouch for that source really, but it makes sense to me about the vegetarian things? KFC chicken is not halal (or shouldn't be). And if KFC ever contracts from tyson? Then DEFINATELY not halal. This is where tyson is based, and I can tell you--since I see what everyone is eating go by me every day.. and I knwo a lot of tyson workers? They eat feed made from other chickens and are not killed in a halal way. Some epople don't care about that and some do, it's just up to preference I'm not all about starting a "you're not really being halal" thing with anyone! LOL! Because? not muslim. Only interested in what to feed my DH. Actually vegetarian. Not interested in meat of any kind, even halal I have Muslim friends who go across the spectrum of eating so I just kinda shrug my shoulders and say "meh?" and let people do what they want!

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh so the KFC here is so diffrent from KFC in pakistan. wow.

besides chicken is not meat its chicken.

Is that like Chicken of the Sea, Jessica?

For those whose So's don't like sweets.. one things I found my Dh really loved was tacos!!!! And homemade tacos are sooo easy and quick. Check out the shells you use to make sure they don't contain lard (most shells are not halal, I buy vegan ones to just get out of it) and away you go!

Take this from a Mexican you can make your own shells! What is better than fresh vs off the shelf taco shells? To do so Buy CORN TORTILLAS they are usually made and packaged that day. Warm up a good amount of cooking oil when its nice and hot dip in a tortilla after a few seconds take a fork and fold the corn tortilla in half. Keep the fork in the middle so the tortilla sides wont stick. Let one side crisp then flip the tortilla shell on its other side and let that crisp too. You can make the shells as crispy or as lite crisp as you want.=0) Then you can stuff with your what ever you want from chicken to guacamole or shredded beef or fajitas. Yum.

I have a tortilla press. i used to make corn tortillas all the time.. man I better teach myself again.

Hmm. I found this:

which says yes, if you get the "right" things (listed in their opening).

I just read the postings on this link, I highly recommend to avoid all the recommendations! LOL.

From the Taco Bell website: they do not use lard in any food preparation, not even in the beans (this is true of most any chain these days). The sour cream does contain gelatin.

I don't dislike anybody here persay but what I don't like is when somebody intentionally posts things in a thread that they know for sure is going to cause problems. Then when problems don't arise, they get more and more nasty until someone finally pipes up. THEN, they get all defensive when people have finally had enough and get mad about it. We have seen this exact same argument over and over again in thread after thread after thread. We all saw the initial posts that started this and we understood from the beginning that the intentions were set on getting a certain type of response. Why is it that people feel the need to come in and try to see how long it takes before they get negative feedback? Do they think we are all stupid and don't see what is happening? I don't know about everyone else but I know I'm not that naive... BEKAFFEY NIQASH BYZANTE!!! Seriously!!

I used to have a lot of respect for certain people here and I really appreciated their advice on certain subjects. Lately, I'm beginning to lose that respect since they seem to find pride in causing a negative uproar everywhere they go without any care of who they hurt and how they hurt them.

Too bad we all have to read through this stuff just to try to help with the original topic.

Ok..Enough with my soap box... I hope this issue can be resolved in an adult manner.

Thanks

Amal, there has been plenty of joking about fornication, hedonism, gross and abnormal by certain people (Sarah has this under her avatar), and so on. It's a joke when they do it, and no one says a thing until certain OTHER people do what they do.

Sorry, that's the truth and that's why nothing they say bothers me.

I just read the postings on this link, I highly recommend to avoid all the recommendations! LOL.

I didn't read into it very far! So good thing!

Meat is not chicken in the MENA, even though it is here. My gall bladder doesn't work. So? I tend to avoid meat, oil, etc. Point being I told me Dh I was vegetarian, and so he said, OK, you do not eat meat.. then kept trying to feed me chicken forever until after enough vomiting and passing out-- he finally got the clue I can't eat it either!! Not every day at least. And peanuts1 That was an event and a half. Anyway, he learned the hard way that when i say i don't eat something, I actually mean it.

Problems arise, they fight, they get over it and life goes on, now can we get back to good ideas for the first few days, nights etc

I think it's just whether or not you stick to halal meat--slaughtering methods and animals eating other animals-- or not. That's why i said it kinda varies from person to person as to which they will accept (I don't actually care what people accept or not LOL!) People argue that chickens are not slaughtered in halal methods in these places, and that the feed of chicken to other chickens invalidates their halal-ness (new word!). I asked my Dh and he said he would rather play it safe than sorry. :shrug: I said "whatever" and kinda left it at that.

Insha'allah about the "they get over it" part.

Oh, I agree, esp with meat, I am sooooo not a meat eater, ANY kind. I don't mind chicken once in a while, but that's it. And it has nothing to do with religion or politics, just the gross-out factor!

Same for me! And I never ate it really.. and then I got this whole GB issue which pretty much sealed the deal for me!
