Hi Faiz and Odd sock,

I also only eat hala food and I am not from the middle east either. It does get a bit difficult for me sometime. Especially when it comes to snacking. I'm tired of eating boiled egges in between. When I'm at its just difficult, if you go to the cafetaaria the vegetarian food is always pasta or potato. The fish usually is battered. Being a student I'm strapped for both cash and time to cook everyday and everything. At this postion I'll have very little choice to be on anything other than induction the whole time...

What do you do about this? And odd -sock you seem to have a lot of knowledge about halaal and haraam, ey?

One thing I sometime make is fish cake. They're great but get tired of them too and the smell is not very welcoming all the time.

Sheila
