Halal Lamb at Outback

Good day!  Here is some information about our Halal lamb:

Good Day,

Lamb served in all of the domestic Outback locations in the United States is
imported from New Zealand. The lamb has received its Certification of Halal
Accreditation from The Federation of Islamic Associations of New Zealand.

Customers who desire Halal preparation should ask that the lamb be prepared in
separate sauté pan instead of on the grill in order to make sure there is in
cross contamination from other products. Please understand that the
preparation time for the lamb in the sauté pan will be longer than if it were
prepared on the grill. Also, please ask that the steamed vegetables be
prepared without the "seasoned butter", which contains a bit of bacon in the
seasoning.

The steaks and chicken used at Outback are not Halal.

Please remember to order your lamb WITHOUT the cabernet sauce.

We have gotten a number of emails on Halal lamb in the past weeks, and are
trying to get this information out to our field ASAP.

Thank you

Yes saw that later - but once should be fine.

Its been a long time since I went to the Halal Sizzler in Irvine area for that massive steak, so this should suffice till the next time.

even better go to a nearby ranch which sells fresh meat. You will not trust anyone else with your meat ever again.

OK OK.... its like saying if you see how bread is made, you will never eat bread... atleast in india it holds true..

I prefer dhabiya to non dhabiya any day .. even if it is twice costly..

Sad part is i got hooked to middle eastern food so much that indian food is not tasting good.. i think need a trip to desiland to get spice level back....

t2: are you kidding about the bread thing? I love roti back home... it's da bomb...

There's a difference between some of the 'stuff' that ends up in or around your food in the third world. Things aren't as sanitary, and that's a fact of life- alhamdulillah, for those of us fortunate to have lived there we can handle it. For the weak ABCDs, too bad :P

But when one really understands the implications behind consumption of meat in the States (and I'm sure other western countries), it will change your life. We're not just talking fleas on your food, or dirty hands- it's much, much worse.

If I wasn't a Muslim, I would be a vegetarian probably.

Then I should read the book.

I hate vegetables, that why I am non-vegeteraian (and ofcourse bcos im muslim). You will be surprized that I never ate eggplant in my life. Considering Bagare-baigan is like popular dish in hyd.. every dinner party has this dish..

There are lot of vegetables I never ate till now..
