Black pudding is Halal, apparently

[Prince]

But the funny thing is, Black Pudding is probably actually Halal. I showed that here: http://atheistforums.org/thread-31952.html

According to the Quran, it's only the flesh of the swine that is forbidden to eat. The Quran doesn't have to specify individual parts of a pig and could simply say "swine is forbidden" but it doesn't. According to the Quran, organs, hooves, bones and blood from a pig is Halal because only the flesh of the animal is Haram. Then you have these that deny what the Quran says and interpret it to suit their contrived aims.

Well, sorry to tell you this but its mistranslated. The Arabic text is says "لحم" as "La'hem", which means 'meat', but it also says... you can only eat Swine if you had to, for example if you were starving to death and the only thing u can find is Swine, then u could eat it. The blood is forbidden with all animals, why would someone eat or drink blood? its nasty! 

The same verse is also found in the Book of Moses, i think in Deuteronomy. 

Actually many Muslims in KSA break the law and eat unhealthy, unlawful animal meat such as Lizards.

The idea of Halal has nothing to do with Health, in fact according to this ridiculous Quranic verse (5:3)
“And why should you not eat of that (meat) on which Allaah’s Name has been pronounced (at the time of slaughtering the animal), while He has explained to you in detail what is forbidden to you, except under compulsion of necessity?"


There is nothing so special about Halal food, the meat only becomes Halal if you announced the name of Allah while slaughtering a fuckin animal. It will still taste the same as non-halal.
