Four'n Twenty Pies are now halal

ufo_investigations — Fri, 31 Oct 2014 14:14:31 GMT

I went to 7-Eleven tonight to get a bite to eat, grabbed a Four'n Twenty pie and gosh it was halal.

Traitors! How can they do this?

I put it back in the warmer then drove to a local Italian restaurant and we had pasta carbonara.

We had Pasta Carbonara?

Were you going to both share the pie?

Did you check out the restaurant and suss out whether they served Muslims? We all know that Muslims don't eat pasta right? They only eat cattle facing towards Mecca and the cow has to die a horrible death, right?

How can an Aussie meat pie be halal? Do you think they are just lying to us? How do we know? People will say anything to sell us their **bleep**. Just look at our politicians, for instance

I said, I grabbed the pie. The others were going to have something else but we walked out spending ZERO

Why would we share a pie, how stupid and tight do you think we are?

Pasta carbonara contains bacon so it is not halal and the restaurant owners are Italian and many of their dishes contain ham and bacon so the kitchen is haram for muslims.

You've really worked out how to avoid Muslims then UFO. Stick to Italian restaurants and McDonalds. They serve bacon too.

I'm only going to buy steak and bacon pies from now on. 😉

Maybe cheese and bacon?

What's wrong with a good old ham, cheese, and tomato sandwich anyway? Stuff their pies. 😉

When I think about it, what is the percentage of customers for Four'n Twenty pies who are Muslim?

What is the percentage of customers for said pies who would be offended by the halal cert and refuse to buy them?

Muslims are a small minority here in Australia. Four'n Twenty are risking losing more customers than they stand to gain.

or maybe they are relying on the old Aussie attitude of, "don't care, don't give a bleep"?

Like any certification of produce by an outside non-govt agency, it is prone to fraudulence. If a man named Hal (first name) Allen (last name) slaughtered a cow, then it could be claimed that the meat is slaughtered by Hal Al method.

Does it taste any different?

Re: Four'n Twenty Pies are now halal

No, it doesn't taste any different, but that's not the point. See the vid i linked to above.

Just because ONE religion slaughters their meat differently, and whilst others don't agree with our meat being slaughtered by knife and bled, with the odd prayer and facing to east, how do you think our meat was slaughtered years ago. Minus the prayer and east facing, I don't believe our slaughterhouses would allow any more cruelty than what happens with normal kill.

I was talking to a muslim last Saturday whilst eating the halal lunch that he had just cooked for me, and I asked him exactly what halal meant and he said food that muslims are allowed to eat, and the meat must be bled.

I know that a few people (most post on cs) don't want muslims in Australia, so what do you want to do. Starve them out.

As regard to other religion poisoning everything what do you mean.

Given that Sikhs are forbidden to eat Halal meat, isn't this catering to one religious group while at the same time time discriminating against another.

Hi bushie.

I don't think so because the food that the Sikhs can eat is readily available.

So the meat sold in the larger supermarket chains is not Halal CM?

If it is not marked as such it wouldn't be, one would hope. Also it is really quite bloody which to me would state not halal.

I think there would only be a percentage of our meat that is halal.

I just see it as giving choices.

I tried halal on Saturday as I said. I still like the juicy unhealthy steak though

Re: Four'n Twenty Pies are now halal

CM If it isn't marked Halal, then one would assume it isn't? I wonder if they have a separate section for Halal meat ..... I never buy meat from WW or Coles, maybe they have a separate sections for each.

"Four’N Twenty Brand Manager Mark Malak says, “Our halal meat pie has been a big hit with the muslim community, and it is great to be able to extend our halal range to include the Four’N Twenty EXPORT sausage roll. Only Four n Twenty pies that have the EXPORT label and the Halal Certified logo marked on the packet are Halal. "
