Its hard enough to find a Kosher restaurant (unless in a Jewish Neighborhood) let alone a Halal Restaurant. All the big steakhouse's are not <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosher_foods" rel="nofollow">Kosher</a> even if they owned by Jews (e.g. <a href="http://www.smithandwollenskynyc.com/" rel="nofollow">Smith and Wollensky</a>, <a href="http://www.peterluger.com/index2.cfm" rel="nofollow">Peter Luger</a>, <a href="http://www.mortons.com/" rel="nofollow">Mortons Steak House</a>). Even <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katz%27s_Delicatessen" rel="nofollow">Katz a famous Jewish Deli </a> is not kosher.<br><br />The small delis and bodegas owned by Arabs (mainly Yemenese), Bangaladeshis and Pakistanis all have pork sausage and egg sandwiches. <br><br /><br><br />If a restaurant has beef products and milk products (Butter and cheese) it cant be Kosher. <b>The Hebrew word for permitted kosher food is Halakha.</b> No s...t sherlock <br><br /><br><br />Grocery Stores and Supermarkets in the US: You would be hard pressed to find Kosher or Halal items. Typically if available will be in separate section and price is generally higher for the same product.<br><br /><br><br />Regards McDonalds being Halal in the US. You must be living in La La land if you think McDonalds in the US becomes halal. It would be boycotted immediately. Yes some McDonald's in other countries are halal. i.e. In the Muslim majority countries (mid-east, Malaysia Indonesia) and India and Sri Lanka (see <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_availability_of_McDonald%27s_products" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_availability_of_McDonalds_products</a><br><br /><br><br />On the other hand preceding all this Halal nonsense in Jan last year (2012) there was a campaign (Facebook, SMS Blogs) to get Muslims to boycott Perera and Sons one of the largest Restaurant and Catering chains in Sri Lanka.<br><br /><br><br /><a href="http://aadhilnet.blogspot.com/2012/01/why-perera-sons-doesnt-let-acju-inside.html" rel="nofollow">http://aadhilnet.blogspot.com/2012/01/why-perera-sons-doesnt-let-acju-inside.html</a><br><br /><br><br /><a href="http://aadhilnet.blogspot.com/2012/01/perera-sons-and-sms-about-fats-of-pigs.html" rel="nofollow">http://aadhilnet.blogspot.com/2012/01/perera-sons-and-sms-about-fats-of-pigs.html</a><br><br /><br><br />Apparently The campaign is still continuing. There is a daily/weekly forwarding of shops/brands to boycott because either they have refused a halal certificate or do not have one.<br><br /><br><br />Obviously <a href="http://www.anvermanatunga.com/" rel="nofollow"> Anver would never make reference to Halal boycotts by Muslims in is Sinhala blog </a><br /><br />sbarrkumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05883150662027018076noreply@blogger.com
