The Cooking Thread

[Rayaan]

Are imitation bacon bits halal?

Imitation or not, bacon itself is not haraam as long as they are not made from pork. Turkey bacon, for example, is halal as padraic mentioned in his post. The thing is that there are different types of bacon (such as pork, beef, and turkey). Bacon itself is considered to be halal. It's the type of meat you use to make the the bacon that determines whether it is halal or not. However, another concern is the issue of how well I could trust that the slaughter was done in the proper Islamic way (especially if a store is run by non-Muslims) and not putting a false "halal" label on the products just to make a profit out of them.

Why should everyone learn this recipe rayaan?? Don't you cook breakfast??

That video was just for a little humor since 'cooking' cereal is something that all of you guys know already.

I don't cook very often, though. Most of the time, my mother cooks the meals for the 6 members in the family (including herself) unless if we eat something from outside. However, learning to cook is not too difficult and I can learn more about cooking if needed even though I might suck at it.

^ I would rather eat this instead of the one made by the sunglass dude except with a few less broccolis though.
