Symon’s not an idiot. He’s a Catholic boy from Cleveland. Give him a pass for not knowing what halal means. And judging from the time I spent in Cleveland myself, I’m not surprised he wasn’t familiar with it. I’m sure it’s improved since I was last there, which was over 10 years ago, but it wasn’t the most culinarily diverse place in the world. Although I used to get great Chinese, oddly enough…

Actually wayne both Halal and Kosher forbid all insects except a few types of locusts. :)

Halal also forbids insects so I guess flies or other unnamed bugs never land on those grills during the day or even when they’re in storage overnight

Uh huh

Halal and Kosher practiced by those who believe very conservatively would not consider the two mutually the same. But the concept behind them is to ensure a level of ethicial pureness, preparation and slaughter of both food stuffs and animals that god would approve.

End of lecture kiddies. :)

LOL at cbs-tv. Symon is an idiot if he doesn’t know what halal means. Sheesh. The (real) CBS gets a pass because, well, they’re just a bunch of empty talking heads who steal their ‘reporting’ features from hardworking blogmeisters.
