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?
