People didn't want the aggro of having to go into town just to the butcher. Such a shame because they lost quality as you say.<br /><br />I've no objection to anyone saying prayers over their food RM but I want the freedom to decide about my own food. Come to think of it, I prayed over a pot of soup last night that it wasn't too salty. ;)subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151702590329788260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-647085951125744942010-09-23T13:46:43.881+01:002010-09-23T13:46:43.881+01:00" At least the local butcher will give you 2 ..." At least the local butcher will give you 2 slices of ham/bacon/whatever."<br /><br />My local butcher is halal so it won't. It was bought by muslims about 5 years ago.<br />Have to drive to Asda now. More choice I suppose but not the quality. Especially the old butchers steak mince and superb pork chops which we all miss.<br />I go into the halal butcher sometimes and once asked about halal meat. He said that muslims still pray before cooking their food in case the halal saughterhouse forgot to pray for the meat. He also said that halal covered fruit and veg aswell and muslims should pray before eating an apple or whatever.

At least the local butcher will give you 2 slices of ham/bacon/whatever.<br /><br />The weather in winter occasionally has me reaching for a whisky mac Dave. :)subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151702590329788260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-80427247002205922792010-09-23T10:07:51.788+01:002010-09-23T10:07:51.788+01:00It's cultural, not genetic, Shirley.

Remember both of them are retired and don't have to rush out to work.<br /><br />They make their own mincemeat (not just for Christmas pies) and add the dregs from their daily tipple into the mix every day, be it wine, spirits or liqueurs. Mix it up daily and once the container is around 25% full, they start another of mincemeat. Wonderful stuff. Makes your eyes sparkle like diamonds - and that's before your shower. :)subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151702590329788260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-89789618218166832812010-09-23T03:17:43.507+01:002010-09-23T03:17:43.507+01:00Now he sounds the kind of person I'd enjoy hav...Now he sounds the kind of person I'd enjoy having a dram with EP.subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151702590329788260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-55804233147180921692010-09-23T00:48:41.144+01:002010-09-23T00:48:41.144+01:00According to Labour in Scotland this is the proble...According to Labour in Scotland this is the problem.<br /><br />http://www.nescafe.com/worldwide/en/Pages/Home.aspx?UrlReferrer=http%3a%2f%2fwww.google.com%2fsearch%3fq%3dnescafe%26ie%3dutf-8%26oe%3dutf-8%26aq%3dt%26rls%3dorg.mozilla%3aen-GB%3aofficial%26client%3dfirefox-a<br /><br />No more coffee mornings SB must keep on the straight and narrow, mulled wine in the mornings with the corn flakes to set you up.cynicalHighlanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06034325908473006163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-89427430518122785182010-09-22T23:27:39.828+01:002010-09-22T23:27:39.828+01:00As I've mentioned elsewhere, I had a Muslim co...As I've mentioned elsewhere, I had a Muslim colleague, before I retired, who was quite happy to go to the pub.
