What now! Camel Sandwich?

Apart from all the usual food-safety compliance and audits, each day my mails would have to deal with customer's request for the latest update on Halal and Kosher certifications... Its such a drudgery I have not even put much thought into it. Simply attaching the requested documents and zombie-Enter" to send it off.

If people are really so strict about what they can or cannot put into their mouth-- there is almost nothing in the world of processed food they can eat. No alcohol? Yea right-- just about every microscopic drop of essence and flavor are solvent based and in such things are the OH- group, ie alcohol but nevermind...  if people can deny evolution, they will find ways to twist around things too small to see with the eye like a single molecular structure and the active subgroups within.

I wouldn't expect Neolithic rules and regulation ignorant of modern science would equate things in quite the same manner anyway. Alcohol would probably have to be just some smelly sour yeast juice to qualify.

More and more we see corporations and companies in the food industry yielding to the demands of religions. It's becoming so common place that no one even questions the sanity of it. In fact not complying is gonna bring out the fanatics and I guess many of these big food boys can't risk irking the extremists.

Subway UK has bowed... I'm sure this is a chain reaction take will take place soon in other countries if it has not already begun.

Subway-no-oink-oink. What now? Camel sandwich?

My real rant is not because I love ham all that much. Hell, in fact all these process meat with tons of nitrates are probably making the cancer soup in the cells very exciting. But occasionally I do derive pleasure of the palate from a Mariana Meatball sandwich-- just about the only sandwich I ever sink my teeth into for the last 25 years from Subway.

So if that is gonna change around here.. then fuck you too Subway. I won't be missing much.

If certain people believe that they should not touch certain meat, that's fine by me. But don't go around yelling and demand that everyone has to live by your standards. If every religion has its say on not having one kind of meat being eaten... what's next? Every mother-son has to be a frigging vegetarian? Or should we all just eat camelburgers from now on.


It would be a lot better in my opinion if a competing sandwich store gets started by people who do not believe in eating pork and serve pork-less sandwiches. Neither am I saying that I will boycott those either.

Look, to me, its all about the quality and palatability of the the food and CHOICE.  I do not want to be limited in my choices simply because some are salivating outside the glass window because of their religious affiliation which says what can or cannot be eaten. To accommodate them, I have to now live with my CHOICE being changed to something else or taken away just to suit and not offend them! NO.

What if I start waving a banner that a pork-less eatery is offensive and insist that to appease my affiliation and beliefs, the selection need to at least contain a couple of lizard-meat entree if not a main. Alright... I hear a murmuring of "Oh you crazy bastard..." Well, exactly-- that's how I feel now about not able to add REAL Bacon (not that pseudo turkey shit) as a side to my meatball sandwich.

Yet no one seems to care too much when a relentless pork eater (ok, he eats other meat too) fight against one of the biggest name in the food world to stop their pink slime that everyone can put into their mouth but filled with dangerous chemicals that shouldn't even be used as food/ food additive in the first place

Go figure.
