      Dude, I fucking love halal food. It’s so goddamn good.

      Usually getting gyros, gyro platters, falafel, etc., but I recently tried a halal burger place and it was the best cheeseburger I’ve ever had at a restaurant. No bacon on it though, I don’t think.

      Basturma (Middle Eastern pastrami) is also a wonderful thing. The intensity of flavor is incredible.

      And if those Muslims are Syrian, their whole cuisine is incredible. Even the Lebanese, who claim to have invented everything and to be the best at everything, will admit that the food in Aleppo is (probably was, after all the destruction) better than in Lebanon.

      Ok, now I’m on a mission to try this. I don’t know how I’ve never heard of this before. I live in a large city and I often eat at places that are halal but I don’t think I’ve ever seen it.

        It’s absolutely delicious. One of the halal places near me has it and it’s so good on a burger with sauteed mushrooms and cheddar.

      I wish I did. We have a mosque, but only a few dozen seem to go, and I’ve only found a few halal restaurants, and they’re all Pakistani or Indian. The closest thing we had was am Israeli restaurant that went under after a year or two.

      Next time we travel, I’m definitely looking for this.
