22 minutes ago, Norm Matthews said:Last night as supper, Charlie asked me if I had heard of Halal. I said I had but was drawing a blank as to what it was. He said it was something he had had in New York and it was really good. He said it was chicken and rice with a white sauce. When I looked it up, I was reminded that halal was a term for kosher food, not a dish in itself. I found a recipe that claimed it was true to the New York halal cart-style dish. The store did not have any pita bread but did have a generic flat bread. They did not have the hot sauce either. It turns out that what Charlie had did not have bread, hot sauce, lettuce or tomato so it didn't matter in the end anyway.
Just to clarify, Halal has nothing to do with Kosher food. While originating from similar geographies, Halal refers to what is permissible or lawful in Islamic law, often pertaining to food or drink.
Ironically enough, your dinner would certainly not be Kosher (Halal aside), with the mixture of meat and dairy
