geared Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Who will provide the meat then, I assume McDonalds don't have the ability with their current supply chain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim1 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 if they want to sell halal burgers why not open there own burger place? I don't think McDonalds would allow a great portion of its breakfast menu to be altered, which would need doing if the restaurant went halal. It would not just be the breakfast menu. Halal and non halal foods can't be stored, transported or prepared in the same vicinity. As I said I have non halal beef dripping imported from Ireland. It's a right pain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeFrank Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 This happens anyway. The fish burgers (and the old veggie burgers) are often cooked in the same vats as the chicken products. I didn't think to ask about the breakfast menu and the occasional bacon burger they do, I shall ask. This is only an application and the request has been made for a halal site. Perhaps Mcdonalds will reject it. However, the potential of contamination has been considered and the brothers say that they will only be hiring Muslims. I am playing football with one of them on Saturday, I will tell them about this thread and see if they are willing to come and address the coments. From what I understand the halal idea is purely a business rather than a religious one. They feel that there is the demand for a halal Mcdonalds. The younger one, the one I know properly isn't all that fussed about religion. I doubt a halal will be successful there's not many Muslims in the area. Some none Muslims will boycott it. I will. It's destined to fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think we could discriminate on religious grounds in the UK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRstar88 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Halal food, kosher food or ordinary food does it really matter. Most of time unless you grow it yourself then you haven't got a clue what's in it. Just because someone tells you it's halal or whatever doesn't mean it is. Tesco beef being horse meat ring a bell? The people that care what's in there food probably wouldn't be eating here anyway. The McDonald's is a bonus for some and not for others either way unless a hell of a lot of people moan about it then it will probably get built and also do well. If it does well then the quiet little 'village' of ecclesfield will be full of these places. Won't be long till the ball becomes a KFC or another tesco express etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey104 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I don't know if I have been unlucky or what but the two times I have had chicken from the halal kfc opposite the arena it has not tasted as well as other non halal Kfc. Having said that I ate at a halal McDonald's in Dubai and it tasted no different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radan Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I had KFC in the US. Came with mash potato. Didn't know you had to ask for 'fries' specifically instead of mash. And no baked beans in sight. As for a McDodah in Ecclesfax, may the best side win (locals or Corporate America). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
