    I had ackee and saltfish when I was in Jamaica years ago

    It was served at breakfast and looked more like scrambled egg - but it wasn't.

    however much of our meat is halal by default which seems to avoid this requirement.



    I have no objection to speaking some religious text over the animal if that makes some people happy but I would prefer the animal to be stunned after all we are all apparently God's creatures regardless of which sales team we listen to.
    Speak for yourself. If such divinity exists, I genuinely question the God which created me, for he clearly had other things on his mind...

    Bloody hell, if hummus was being nicked en masse, Waitrose would be instantly bust and the world would consequently end...

    The first mention of race was the guy complaining as he's view is that only black people eat ackee therefore this is racist.

    He has racial stereotyped but its everyone else who is racist.
