I've had halal meat before at a Muslim celebration dinner, it's yummy!
It's kind of the opposite of the traditional Scottish prepared meat I grew up with, where on the one side you have scottish Black Pudding, made almost entirely of blood, and on the other side you have halal meat which is not bloody at all.
I think it has to do with other things as well though, not just the blood aspect

---EDIT---
lol Anne you beat me to it!

Not to put you off or anything, but Halal meat is a disgrace in my opinion, the animals are tortured in such a brutal way to get that flavouring and its disgusting that humans can treat life of an animal like it was nothing and didnt mean anything. But if you enjoy meat thats been brutally tortured whilst its alive before being slaughtered then carry on eating it. Like with KFC... so many enjoy their chicken after the chicken has been sexually assaulted by their workers when its alive, whacked around against walls like it was a baseball bat, then burned alive in acid, then glued (literally!!) back together again and put in your burger buns!
Furie that is off topic and could be considered very disrespectful someone who is a Muslim. Please be more careful with your words.
Halal is when the blood is drained from the animal while a prayer is said in its ear. Its no different to electrocuting a sheep hanging upside down like most abattoirs do nowadays.
Anyways, thank you very much for the apology, but you shouldnt have to apologise for other people!
Well i find halal food disrespectful to me. and if you read above my post, someone wanted to know what halal was, so i told them. And exactly that, they slit the animal's throat and leave them die in a slow and painful manner. That is disrespctful to me. So to be honest, i dont care. Everyone is allowed their opinions, and that is. So no, its not off topic at all. There is no other way to put it. I agree it is no different, its still brutal and its still disgusting. Which is why i think that and have been vegetarian for many years now.
Im gonna agree to disagree. if people are not impressed then so be it. Im not impressed by how you do things, as you may not be impressedby the way i do things. End of. And Slitting one's throat (whether it be an animal or human) athen leaving it to die IS torture!
