Happy Ramzan guys. One of the local restaurants here is giving out haleem at 99 cents a plate. For those living in Chicago, try Gareeb Nawaz on W Devon. I don't know how it tastes though.
Thanks Alexis, Azzy, CAD, Akhil, MM, HP, Lonewolf, CrakedNut, and everyone else! Me is gonna be an espessially obedient servant this Ramadhan...

Absolute Pure Un-adulterated Turbo-charged Blasphemy! Keep yer esperiments to biryani, I say! Don't even DARE mess with the fine balance in Haleem...

:lol: wateva....the veggie haleem was a hit last year! i hear this year Pista House has increased the quantity being prepared daily!
wtf? i no longer care if my posts hurt yr feelings Love me or hate me, u cant ignore me
I guess Veggie Haleem is not a bad idea. Give the pure-Vegs a taste of what they are missing . But still think that Haleem is too imprtant a thing to be trifled with.
First Iftaar!!!
Me had Dahi vada (my absolute fav, after Haleem of corse) and bhajiya and custard and papaya, and most important: Water!.

Things are supposed to happen the way they happen. And the reason they happen the way the happen is because you try to make them happen in a certain way and may or may not be succesful.

Im a vegetarian for a couple of days after bakrid, when Im in India around the time too cuz I watch the sacrifices.
Thankfully, I get the images outta my head. Meat is just too good to give up.

chalo yaar, i take part in tht every year n it certainly aint as bad as u make it sound. infact, it aint bad at all
dunno why but i cant see these things. after that incident whenever a mutton dish was put in front of me, i used to see that goat's face and lose interest in eating it... then i took the easy route and stopped eating mutton. may be its because i am a natural vegetarian and took to occasaional non-veg just to satisfy the glutton in me... in future if i happen to see a hen being killed i am sure i'll stop eating chicken....

The only time I eat Mutton is during Ramzan. Rest of the time i prefer Chicken.
Haleem is simply too tasty to b missed. My mom had warned me not to eat Non-Veg till Dassera is over. But I couldn`t stop myself
People are crazy, at times are strange. I am locked-in tight, I am out of range.
I used to care, but things have changed.

We eat mutton a lot. Me n the sisters are veggie lovers and make faces whenever mutton is served (that would be 3 times a day ).

I thot that this behaviour was only restricted to my sisters!

You just have to ignore it. It has just been proved that plants also feel pain, so maybe we should do something about that too, then.
Off topic, but for everyones information:
The whole procedure of the muslim sacrifice (the unnatural way in which the cut is made) is done so as to drain the blood from the body of the animal. This makes it a lot safer to eat. If we just lop the head off, then all the blood remains in the body and this type of meat is bad to eat because blood contains many impurities.
Also, when we partly cut the jugular, the blood is slowly drained from the body and the organs shut down because the nervous system is still connected and the brain can shut off the organs. While if we cut the head off in one blow, then the organs still function as they do not get the signal to shut down since the brain has no time to give the instruction. So, the muslim way of sacrifice is much better scientifically.
That was too graphic, but it is good information.
