Something Kosher?

Before anyone jumps all over me, I read an article a few years back that many who eat Halal in the States shop in Kosher shops because the the rules for the food are much the same and there is a dearth of Halal shops.

There is a good Kosher deli down the road from me but they are closed right now

The Halal place I am ordering from is Pakistani. 

I love all foods lmao

I do too, for the most part.  Unfortunately, my system disagrees a lot of the time.  😥

Yes, much of what I eat implodes my stomach, but if it tastes good then I am back for more haha guess I never learn

Never can go wrong with biryani. I just had some tonight from an Indian restaurant suggested by my Pakistani coworker. Goddamn delicious.

Arab cuisine. I guess Halal food is sort of the Arabic equivalent to Kosher food. As tsar said, it seems pretty similar to Kosher. 

The place I just ordered from is Pakistani but they have all sorts of things. 

I ended up ordering biryani with shrimp, curry goat, seehk kebabs and some roti bread!

There's this awesome Indian joint near me that has very good lamb biryani. It's my go-to dish whenever I go there. I always order it the spiciest they'll make it. Last time I ate there, the waiter tried to dissuade me from ordering it that way. Don't know why. Sometimes I wonder if it's because I'm a woman and obviously not of South Asian descent that he thought I couldn't handle it. I told him I can down a Carolina Reaper and shrug it off like it's nothing.

It's not the woman, it's the white. I worked with a Karen NP who used to laugh at us poor white people sweating and gasping when she'd bring in something from home for pot luck.

The place I go to always asks if you want it 'hot' or 'mild' haha but they are both just hot as fuck and I love it. Arab cuisine is like my favorite for heat, I love all the spices and flavors.

Damn, now I want to order some more!

One thing I love about Indian food too is that vegetarian dishes are actually appetizing and don't feel like substitutes like the American vegan shit. Chana saag is delicious.

[atomicinumatt]

Haha I just ordered again!

Bump, I just had palak paneer for the first time today. I think it may be my new favorite Indian food. It's like a spicy cream of spinach curry.
