Halal: Personal View From The Yorks Post.

From: Jennifer Wiles, Four Acre Close, Kirk Ella, East Yorkshire.
I WAS very interested in Barrie Frost’s letter regarding halal meat (Yorkshire Post, August 28). I refuse to eat it and no longer dine in Indian or Turkish 
restaurants. I recently flew with United Arab Emirates, a long journey on which I hardly ate anything except bread and crackers.
When shopping now, I frequently ask if meat is slaughtered halal and am 
pleased to say that a young lady in a large frozen food chain when asked, went off to get the manager who was very pleased to tell me that even food described as “Indian style” was just that – flavoured with spices but not ritually slaughtered, so I will continue to shop there. By the way, is this meat served in the Houses of Parliament? Does anyone know?
I share Jennifer's attitude and approach - may I invite readers to do the same?
