Refused Halal Meat

Why Always Ste said:
Was in town (nr. Cheetham Hill) yesterday and after training with a mate (who is Muslim)
we decided to grab some food at a nearby takeaway (which clearly advertised Halal meat for sale)

We both ordered chicken tikka kebabs on naan, not mentioning the word "halal" when we ordered.
The guy making the order took these fine chunks of marinated chicken and put them on one kebab, then went for a separate tray and put this other chicken on the other kebab - and this chicken looked dry, thin, cheap like the ready to eat chicken you get at Tesco.
The guy on the till passed over the first kebab to my Muslim friend and said: he is your halal chicken tikka kebab, and passed over mine and said: here you go.

I asked: "why am I being given this less quality of meat even though it's the same price?
The guy working there says: "sorry, we don't serve halal meat to non-muslims.

So i say: "how do you know I'm not a muslim?"
and then I say: "As-salamu alaykum" and give him a wink.


So I was left wondering: is this legal to refuse halal meat to non-muslims?
It's never happened to me before, I've been served Halal meat and there's been no issue.
I requested they serve me the better looking meat to which they still refused and my Muslim mate in solidarity gave me his kebab and said something I didn't understand to the takeaway owner in Urdu quite aggressively... and he walked out.

I wasn't complaining as I ended up with the better kebab anyway, but it's shit like this that just causes unneeded tension.

Story sounds bollox! Just as a side note I got a taxi home from a works doo last night. Got talking to the driver who once owned a curry house in rusholme but had since sold it. I said to him I don't go any more since those stories about the dead cats. He said - I couldn't even tell you some of the stories I know and witnessed about what went in some "meals" Don't think I will be eating there again in a hurry.

The staff were jizzing in them?
 
After reading the 'Heaven' thread I'm beginning to to think Ste needs to stop drinking and taking drugs.

Character building.
 
I think you are all a set of twats. Steve planned a romantic Friday night in with good food, a film and a good shag. Instead he spent all night getting wound up on here.
 
I fundamentally disagree with the Halal slaughter method and wouldn't knowingly purchase Halal meat - though I do accept the practise is probably a lot more widespread than we'd care to believe and many people are unknowingly purchasing it.

Why must we observe these traditions and customs and practices in our country?

If it doesn't affect the flavour I couldn't really give a toss if there's been Indians dancing around it naked before it goes on my plate.
As long as they don't jizz in it of course..
 
Fair play Ste, 12 pages - I bet you're sat reading this and having a good laugh!
 
We should ban all religious slaughtering methods in this country.

Some people have religious and cultural beliefs that allow such things as FGM and polygamy, and we ban those.

So why not ban the slaughter of animals without stunning them?

Even of we don't ban it, we should strictly control it to ensure the number of animals slaughtered in this way is proportional to the number of people in the UK who follow religions which want it.

This would ensure that the practice is kept to a minimum and prevent businesses slaughtering all their meat in this way for sale to the general population.

To be honest that would be mild compared to things I saw when I was a commis chef.

Completely agree.
All meat should be clearly labelled as well.
I would never knowingly purchase meat from an animal ritually slaughtered.

I agree, it's much more humane to hammer a bolt through their skulls.

If my throat was going to be slit from ear to ear I'd welcome a bolt through the skull first.

We should not allow anyone to slaughter animals in an inhumane way just because of their religious rules.

Well, I think they're just being vein bleeders.
