As a matter of interest, where is this verifiable fact "that all their meat is halal slaughtered" and "they serve only Halal meat" cited? I can't find it referenced on McDonald's own website and searching elsewhere only turned up references to a few specific McDonalds outlets that offer halal food.

Thanks.

No Halal meat at KFF that's for sure. Just Oolala meat.

I was referring to the nature of halal meat and practices at slaughterhouses. This is easily verified. As for McDonalds, and more specifically, Paul's (PCH) views, you'd best check with him.

Anything else you'd like to assume first, check later?

I think we all should be respectfull of others here .

The way the this thread has moved from a light discussion on a "burger " to blatently rasist banter is poor form imo and in deep need of a little self moderation eh?

Thank Allah, for a sane response,

I was surprised as well how it moved from lamb burger to Halal to Muslin undertones although Peters joke was IMO harmless and a good play on words

You would be surprised just how many foods are Halal approved and I think this topic was previously mentioned in another thread.

Value for money I'll still stick to HJ's

I think things are being read into comments that simply aren't there.

Racism? Where? What undertones?

I'm not saying that I take offense, It's just a harmless joke, but my point is that we have to be real careful about what goes up online, some may take it the wrong way and cause issues. Some people would reach for the "file complain" button at the drop of a hat!

Gone are the days of a real corner take-away hamburger.

They came with a mince pattie, egg, bacon, cheese, lettuce, tomato and fried onions on a toasted bun with tomato sauce. If you wanted a extra treat you could have a fried pineapple as well.

Sadly they have declined, replaced by the pulp that the conglomerates sell of as food.
