[Sca-cooks] "Halal" and "Kosher"

[Leah A. Montgomery]

Huh, neat. And here I thought that halal meant a certian type of food! After
all, all of the ME stores here in town advertise halal meat all the time!
*grin* I had no idea that it meant basicly the same thing as kosher. Now
you've got me on the internet at this moment investigating it more. I found
some neat sites too:

Thank you for posting that about halal.
