86 KFCs in UK go Halal

[Sinister_Audio]

A diner was left fuming after a KFC restaurant took his favorite meal off the menu because it breached their new halal regulations.

Alan Phillips was told he would have to travel five miles to another branch if he wanted the Big Daddy, a chicken burger, topped with bacon, cheese and salad.

The branch, in Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire, is one of 86 KFC restaurants which is running trials of a scheme where they sell nothing other than halal meat.

The company has taken the burger off the menu because Islamic dietary law forbids Muslims to eat anything which has been prepared on the same premises as pork, which is itself strictly forbidden.

It said it was responding to ‘increased demand’ for a halal menu in the areas of Britain with growing Muslim populations.

Mr Phillips said he found the change ‘extremely unfair’ on non-Muslim customers.

‘I can’t believe a chain like this has taken this stance,’ he said. ‘Staff told me that due to the dietary laws halal meat could not be prepared in the same place as other meats, so I couldn’t have my bacon.

It was like they were saying I couldn’t buy bacon because it might offend people.’

Mr Phillips was told he would have to travel to another KFC five miles away to buy his bacon burger. He protested that this was too far for him to travel.

‘It is getting silly,’ he said. ‘I have many friends who are black, white and Muslim but they wouldn’t be forced to eat non-halal meat.

‘I have no problem with them selling halal meat, but I would like the choice.’

Traditionally, halal meat must be slaughtered by hand, although KFC, which has more than 750 restaurants in the UK, said its chickens are not killed in this way.

The meat must also be blessed in the name of Allah and cannot be kept on the same premises as banned substances including pork and alcohol.

KFC spokesman Nina Arnott said the halal trial was expected to last ‘a few months’.

She said: ‘We’ve responded to requests to provide halal food in some parts of the UK and the Middleway Park restaurant in Burton is one of the restaurants taking part in our trial.

‘The Big Daddy is the only product we’ve taken off the menu at our trial stores and we’re using exactly the same ingredients and exactly the same tasting chicken as before.’

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

Not slaughtered by hand? So the chicken not really halaal?

[Team Loco]

Duane. This is what causes the divide. Nutrina uses shock and mechanicla slaughtering and therefore the darul uloom doesnt certify them halaal. But maulana waffie certifies them. Arawak and fine choice doesnt use shock and mechanical. So tyey are certified by darul uloom

At the end of the day everyone should have a choice. If someone doesnt eat halal I can understand that. Then kfc should offer halal meat as a choice or simply not offer it at all.

[Rainman]

But, but, but, it's....bacon. What kind of demonic religion forbids something like bacon?

remember the 'situation in Saudi Arabia years ago......- a tape recording of the prayer said during slaughter...as the chickens travelled down the 'line' getting their necks cut & bleeding out as they went down...?
well they got an actual cleric to say those prayers in the factory & now it's 'okay'.
.
my thought here is 'Why don't muslims forsake the groceries/supermarkets which sell pork/pork products & buy their food elsewhere ?
.
these colonial bigots sure know how to sabotage 3rd-worlders.......we should do like Australia.......'u want to come here & live // EVERYONE IS WELCOME !! ...but if u want to impose your beliefs on us, please leave....'

its the few extreme that make others look bad. we here in Trinidad live in a multicultural society and therefore we muslims must fit in and accept the belief and culture of others. therefore we should not be thinking of buying from supermarkets that do not sell pork etc. we presently accept purchasing from places that have the meat seperated. most of us do.

lolwut?

Only time I ever "saw" Heathrow or Gatwick is leaving there for foreign countries.

That said, I have Afro from Africa (not exclusively Caribbean) family. Most Ghanaians/Nigerians doh make white British wear Kente, eat yam, speak Akan or Igbo, or openly oppose the "liberal" society we have now. I may not have "distant ancestry" dating back to Anglo-Saxon times or earlier, but so what, I like the culture without some dope Muslim saying what is what. Again, if a Brit went to his country, it would be a major affront. It may seem ironic, even hypocritical, for me to say but immigration should really be contained and/or limited.

This has become a very controversial issue in the UK:

Its a Trial.
KFC is a business.
If they get complaints, the responsible move is to investigate those complaints and try to resolve them (if its feasible)
When the trial ends, If there are more complaints about the new menu than there were about the old menu, then its likely they'll revert.
Otherwise, why not please their customers?

[triniboy]

lol, i thought this was an April fools joke.
