Subway's halal only menu in 185 stores

Quote:

Around 200 branches of Subway have cut ham and bacon from their menus, serving halal meat in response to calls from their Muslim customers.

The sandwich chain said 'following a strong demand from our Muslim customers', 185 stores in the UK and Ireland have introduced the meat, which is prepared under strict Islamic rules.

ham and bacon GONE! only halal meat :o

cannot WAIT to hear ALL of ur respones :-)!

Couldn't care less. Thought I might as well get my thoughts in before this thread descends into a 'debate' on muslim extremism and multicultraism. On phone, so apologies if I spelt that wrong.

Surely they should do both? I'm all for more places doing Halal meat and I understand they will need their own sections and things done properly, but you can't just get rid of other meat, not fair for bacon lovers.

Also so much for their new breakfast sub...

i guess this is in areas where no non muslims eat there
doubt it will affect any irish stores

I never get ham or bacon in my sub so it doesn't affect me :)

Fair enough to offer a halal option but this is ridiculous!! Don't think there is any of them here though.

Sharia Law via the backdoor. It's it just great? I feel so enriched already. :rolleyes:

there are millions of subways. in the big city centres i see 1 down every street

on the subway storefinder they have a halal store option its obviously just to appeal and target specifically muslim populations not force halal meat down british throats :L

-

yay undertaker :clap: i have high hopes for this thread

Oh no no we couldn't have that, it'd upset the vocal minority. We have to be 'inclusive' even if they won't be.

Don't you understand how modern Britain works? Newcomers and minorities come first and the hell with the rest of us.

There's only three Subways down here so I would hope that they've not changed either, it seems highly unlikely tbf. Although, even if they did the two in town are quite close so I wouldn't mind the extra walk, just a bit of an inconvenience. I only ever get turkey and ham so I would be devastated :( I hate the chicken from there, tastes far too rubbery for my liking.

I thought you were all for businesses being able to essentially do what they want and serve/reject anybody? If so then surely you should be happy that Subway is doing this, or are you only for that when it's targeting gays and immigrants?

When those hotel owners refuse to let gay owners stay at their hotel that's perfectly acceptable, but when subway voluntarily decides to serve only halal meat in select stores that's suddenly not acceptable, and 'to hell' with us non Muslims.

I never said you advocated a law stepping in, but when those gay customers were rejected from staying there you seemed to bask in the joy of the free market, yet when subway decides to serve only a specific type of meat in select stores you're suddenly not happy.

I will always defend the free market, even when I do not agree with the decision of the company (as in this case and the other B&B case).

Nice try though.

You would've never guessed that you were ok with this from your initial first two posts ;)

Defending the right of companies to do what they want doesn't mean I agree with what they are doing. I am not fond of smoking which I regard as stupid, and I have never even tried a cigarette - but I wouldn't dream of using the force of the law to impose my beliefs on pub owners/bars/clubs.

I find the actions of Subway divisive, discriminatory and the total opposite to the values of this country. But they still have a right to be like that.

Subway's hideous anyway I don't get how they're allowed to continue when they have meats and salads right next to each other in open air all day

Fair enough have Halal stores but don't take away it for everyone else..

I thought different subways had different ingredients anyway?

I get ham and bacon in my sub. I'm in Australia though so I'm not effected anyway. :P

There should most definitely be a choice. A lot of places only do halal already in London and there are a lot of KFC places which only sell halal meat as well and unless you're in the know the only thing telling you about the meat is generally a tiny sticker behind the counter saying 'Halal meat served here'. I've stopped eating in places which serve halal meat as I don't believe in what they do, my own little protest.

Seems a bit pointless. Either have both in one single store or just hope that they have two stores close to each other. Never understood halal meat, it just seems too tedious to be a problem. It wouldn't surprise me it isn't actually halal meat they're using anyway - just using normal stuff and re-label it.

I'm not that bothered, I don't really like subway,

But theres literally a subway built into my student accommodation, so it'll be interesting to see the change implemented their though.

Hala meat is terrible. The way they kill the animal is animal abuse.

I dont understand why anyone would believe that pork and meat that isn't Hala is possessed by the evil devil thing, and the reason they wont eat it.

Crazy people these days....

I personally prefer holo meat. Way cooler.

The Subway in Newcastle I use all the time on Westgate road has been affected...

I didn't think It would bother me at first but...

• "Spicy Italian on Hearty Italian please" - "sorry we can't do that"
• "Oh, chicken and bacon ranch melt please then, same bread - "haha, not that one either mate"

***** sake.

What so they've removed ham and bacon ENTIRELY from some stores and replaced them with halal meat?!

Why can't they do both? |-)

Absolutely ridiculous. There's nothing wrong with them introducing an alternative, that's very good of them, but not all of us are against eating bacon!

Luckily I don't eat in that restaurant anyway.

I agree. I mean introducing halal is fair enough- if the demand is there then it would be bad business sense not to introduce it. But to completely wipe the alternative off the menu...

Of course some of these shops might be in predominantly muslim areas- maybe even in areas where no non muslims shop at all idk- but surely they're gonna be doing this in some areas where ham eaters etc will go?

Eradicating any choice is pretty silly. If this was a country where the majority and the culture asks for Halal then maybe, but they shouldn't remove food from any store, really. Yes, they have the choice to remove it but it sets a dodgy precedent, especially if no alternatives are being offered.

Subway do have an aggressive marketing tactic and want to be the largest sandwich/lunch shop in the UK so really they're just branching out to all demographics. It's clever, but ruins another demographic at the same time.

What MONSTERS catering to their biggest market in the area

well it wouldnt be halal if they served/prepared pork in the store

i think im right saying that anyway

Not sure, can you buy it in ordinary supermarkets? I think you can get kosher in supermarkets but never seen Halal so maybe you're right. That said, it all probably comes from the same depo/distribution centre :P

Don't they have like the meats at a different bit from the salad in subway though? I've never been in a place that serve sandwiches that don't have all the fillings beside each other.

Aren't they usually only open around lunch time, so about 3-5 hours?
