For starters, halal food isn't a health issue. It's a religious one.
Second, I'd really contend that the box was mislabled such that someone could actually be confused about what they were eating. It says BLACK PUDDING on the front in big fuck off letters. If you didn't know what black pudding was, then you're an idiot for buying it. On the back where it has the ingredients label it clearly says "PORK" anyway.
Third, why would a Muslim (who doesn't eat pork for symbolic/religious reasons, not health reasons) want to eat a black pudding pakora anyway? This isn't someone who is a vegetarian looking for a meat substitute like Quorn because they still like the taste of meat or whatever other reason. This is someone who symbolically thinks it's wrong to eat pork. Even if you thought it was a pork substitute, why would you want to eat it?
Dipshits going on like they're being lied to about their food and how deeply offended they are. Muppets.
It's a simple labelling mishap that is still trumped by the fact it's called A BLACK FUCKING PUDDING PAKORA.
