LOL, I used to work at 50th and 7th, and I'd go to this place ALL the time.

Yea it's very good. We call it "cheap meat"

You wouldn't feel the bleeding to death, because the cut is so deep that the change in blood pressure fries your brain immediately and thus your nerves stop firing.


Both the kosher/halal and western systems for getting meat are cruel to the animals. Deal with it, or stop eating it.

Well according to norwegian law, we have to sedate the animal before killing it the halal way.
I thought there would be a reason for that, but then again it might be out of ignorance.

Chicken and rice is the best, that white sauce is so mysteriously GOOD.
The only courage that matters is the kind that gets you from one moment to the next.

I don't like white sauce in general, but yeah, that place rocks.
I made the mistake of getting it from across the street, and for some reason, it seemed to be vastly inferior. I can't tell if it's because that one is hyped or if it's actually better somehow, but it really does seem to taste better and that's all that counts I guess.

How did this thread turn into a debate about the ethics of animal slaughter? It's just how nature works... we kill other animals to eat. Is it cruel when a crocodile pulls an antelope into the water to drown it (and then eat it)? Is a lion breaking ethical boundaries when it catches a gazelle and eats it alive? We kill animals to eat them, not to be nice to them. If you don't like that, then... you can be a vegetarian, right? On a side note, did you guys know that gorillas cannibalize the babies of opposing tribes during territorial raids? Now THAT'S sick.

I heard that sometimes they cannibalize the babies of their own tribes, to get with the mothers because if a mother has a baby, she is totally uninterested in sex.

Now that I think about it, it might not be gorillas, but it's some kind of primate for sure.

Well the idea is that we have a choice. Human beings don't run on instinct. If you introduce an animal to an ecosystem that can't support it, the animal will go right ahead and destroy it. But as humans when we enter ecosystems that wouldn't support us if we were completely instinctual, we can restrain ourselves.

Not that I care about eating animals. I'm just saying, it's not a good argument to compare human beings to crocodiles. Unless crocs start writing poetry and playing StarCraft.

I'm pretty sure that's lions, when a new male takes control of a pride he often kills the offspring of the previous leader (for the reason you stated).

That does look really delicious. Is that stuff the yogurt/cucumber sauce? Because that stuff is amazing, makes me wish I had Middle Eastern/Indian food more.

It was probably a good idea at the time, but now it might not be so painless anymore, I would still be rendered unconscious by an electrical shock, then killed, rather than having my throat slit and bleed to death.
It doesnt matter though, because people wont change their ways..pretty sad that we can be held back by some old book.



Did you even READ what yaqoob posted? The halal slaughter is by FAR the kindest to the animal.

So you can choose; A) Painless death, or B) Extreme pain followed by death.

Did you read what I said? I assumed there was a reason to why its against the law to not sedate the animal before its slaughtere in the hala way here in norway.

My vote for top Middle Eastern food goes to Lebanese, followed by Pakistani and Turkish (technically different regions, but they share many of the same foods.)

for some reason, i still remember the NY times article about this place:

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/29/nyregion/thecity/29hala.html

I use to live in Los Angeles and there's tons of places like this. Zankou's chicken is the most famous, but there's others that are just as good.

Hahah I remember the infamous "chicken & rice" line stretched down the entire block... while the halal stand right across the street had maybe one or two customers. It was so effing cold I was wondering if it was worth it.

But then I finally got my chicken & rice.

And it was sooo worth ittt. So good.

...I should go get some this week hehe.
