halal foodies thread

currently taking a break from ramadhan prep (just made 57 pies in an hour). my question for everyone is what are you guys prepping (foodwise) for ramadan and what do you usually eat for closing and opening fasts?

Anyone else get asked "what happens if you eat gelatine/pork?" Like what do you expect to happen

apparently you expand massively(yeah i was going to say you blow up but them i realised thats not a good thing to say in this context) you expand like that girl from willy wonka you know that fat one

Hi I just found this group and I see there is no recent activity going on now. I mean it's ramadan so lets talk about foods were having for iftar, but I think people are not posting anymore because food is a bit tempting for them but let's keep this group going shall we?😊

I was thinking that I'm personally bot fussed about food during Ramadan but ill admit iv been neglecting tsr due to a lot of anti-Islamic sentiments that have arisen due to the actions of a bunch of deplorable things. What is annoying is that I found out about the most recent incident after taraweh salat and swore...in front of an old man I was giving a lift to (who doesn't speak English hat well and am worried I may have offended him even though it was aimed at said things).

Oh gosh well Im struggling to move my legs seriously I'm in such pain tauba doesn't taraweeh make yor legs ache a bit?

Awww it's a shame you neglected tsr I mean this group was so good also I might go off for good too alot of these people on TSR aren't very nice I tell you I've only just recently came on because I just found it.

Tbh that's partly why im neglecting. I also have other things I am prioritising atm irl so that takes presidence to this (although the irony is that I prefer talking to people here vs irl contacts on social media as there are mor people with interests similar o my own

I have a business meeting at a sourdough cafe in London this week. Is sourdough haram as it involves alcohol in the baking process .

In anycase they have cakes there so ill be sure to be bring back some halal samples (hopefully it isnt crap)

Sourdough is made from fermented dough so a small % of alcohol is formed in the process, however it evaporates when it is baked. Thats what we were taught at college.
It tastes kind of weird tbh.

Ive noticed a lot of artisan pizza places / fancy restaurants have sourdough pizzas. I personally wouldnt mind learning how to bake bread as you cant trust the stuff from the shops tbh.

I do however know how to make mandazi (otherwise known as mahambri ), which is african dooughnuts.

also I know how to make cakes, brownies, shortcrust pastry from scratch, pies, spring rolls etc

I have like a million and one bread recipes from college, if you want any just let me know. I think i also have the recipe for the sourdough starter. But it stinks lol

Do they taste like normal doughnuts?

I want to make churros next maybe idk

Thats cool

yes please

kinda but you can flavour the dough how you want. zanzibaari mandazi for example is flavoured with aniseed so thats the recipe I know, but you have different variations all over east africa.

churros id love to make as well

Shakeshack chicken is halal now, but apparently it tastes nasty? Anyone had it yet?

whats shakeshack lol
