I find myself getting through a lot of pork fillet and ham these days. I imagine that's because it's almost certainly not going to be halal! It certainly seems to be a lot more tender than other meat available in Tesco, anyway.

Sounds like a not-too-subtle election statement: "Last time you voted a Labour government in they let IRA killers off. Next time it will be islamic extremist killers. You've been warned..."

It certainly seems to be a lot more tender than other meat available in Tesco, anyway. Neigh... Actually I suspect it's more to do with the "halal slash" causing the animal to taint its own meat with massive amounts of adrenalin in the brief time its circulatory system has remaining to distribute it. Compare kosher and halal methods. Read elsewhere:- "The Kosher method requires that both carotid arteries are cut through in one motion with a flawless blade without touching the vertebrae, which is not easy to do, hence the Jewish lads go through a lot of training before being let loose and are inspected periodically. The inspector can remove the cutter's licence at once on site. Compare and contrast, the quals for a Halal cutter is that he is a Moslem, that's pretty much it. A knife is helpful but as I have said before a lot of them are clueless. We had one with an old blunt boning knife, no steel, and a cutting technique Yehudi Menuin would have been proud of. As far as consciousness goes, the theory is that the sudden drop in blood pressure to the brain induces loss of consciousness. In my anecdotal experience it looked plausible on chickens, but anything larger, turkey's and up to sheep and cattle I thought it was wishful thinking. As an aside, I believe that there is no reason why Halal beasts cannot be stunned prior to slaughter. The kosher method allows for no such option." In New Zealand, all commercial slaughter of livestock, including religious slaughter, must be undertaken in a humane manner in accordance with New Zealand’s animal welfare laws. These laws require animals to be ‘stunned’ immediately prior to slaughter. Stunning ensures an immediate loss of consciousness to prevent animals from feeling any pain during the slaughter process. So NZ manages to oblige halal and kosher to put the bolt gun to the heads of livestock before muttering, slitting and hanging up (so it's the same as humane slaughter, only with added muttering, then?) without everyone getting on the outrage bus so WTF can't we...?! Mind you, antipodeans are more inclined to grow spine and do the "If you don't like the way we do things here then you're welcome to sod off" than our own "leaders."
