Sherbet Dip Dab

Couldn't help notice that my once a month treat is now Halal approved.

Could it be that the Sherbet has been ritually bled to death

 

Extract from wikipedia:

But I agree it does seem strange, I can't wait to see it on a bottle of wine

 

Says suitable for vegetarians, but nothing about vegans, nothing about being kosher either. So halal must be more important to the manufacturers than the 180,000 vegans & 280,000 jews in this country I guess.:DOH:

 

Is it all in English or is there Arabic on the back? as they might be shipping it all-round maybe Muslims are more strict with there choices?

edit:

*reads up on wikipedia* maybe not although I do successfully feel rather ill

 

No, all in English, hope that doesn't offend anyone. Fair play to the kosher lot, they introduced vegetarian hot dogs to the U.K. Tivall sausages These were quickly copied by the supermarkets when they realised they were missing out on a market of 4 million vegetarians in this country.

Minus points to the kosher lot for when they un koshered yoghurts that had the Jurassic Park logo on them, as "Dinosaurs don't exist, because they were before Noah's flood":DOH:

Why do we have to put up with this kind of shite in the 21st century ? :DOH:

 

It's funny, I hadn't seen them for years until today. My daughter gave me three!

 

Let us hope that your sherbet was fully anaesthetised and didn't suffer any unnecessary pain.

 

Going for a sherbet fountain now, back in 10 minutes.

 

Are you pointing towards Mecca?

 

Just got back, not only is my sherbet fountain halal approved, it now comes in a rediculose plastic container :DOH: With a warning that small children can choke on the afore mentioned packaging.

Barretts will be getting an e mail from me when i've sobered up.

Sherbet fountains were the epitomy of wombledom when I was younger, what you couldn't eat would be usefull as a beetroot planter. :DOH:

The plastic tube is just another disgracefull abuse of our finite oil resorce.

 

I loved those things as a kid... must remember to pick one up next time im shopping,

as for the Halal business... I purchased a tin of licorice flavour sweets recently, and they had the same message... perhaps there is an ingredient in licorice sweets that doesnt conform?

 

You can still buy sherbert dip dabs Ziggy ? Where they made by bassetts ? You will be telling me next that you can still buy them sherbert flying saucers , that always stuck to the roof of your mouth :D The multi coloured sherbert you could buy was called Kali ( pronounced K-Li ), may just have been a northern name for it as it was called Keli up in the northeast .
