First of all, what is halal<\/em>?<\/strong> Halal<\/em> is Arabic for ‘permissible’. Halal food adheres to Islamic law, as defined in the Quran.\u00a0The Islamic form of slaughtering animals or poultry involves killing through a cut to the jugular vein, carotid artery, and windpipe.\u00a0Animals must be alive and in good health at the time of slaughter, and all blood is drained from the carcass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Halal also refers to the kind of food and animals that are permitted to be eaten. Food and animals that have been clearly and explicitly prohibited in the Quran are not halal, such as swine, donkey, and alcoholic beverages. That’s why the adherents of Islam do not eat pork and any derivative products of swine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While traveling, we barely cook our own meals. Most of the time, we buy food in restaurants nearby. However, what if we have dietary restrictions? For instance, Jewish people who have to eat food complying with Jewish dietary laws (kashrut<\/em>) or kosher <\/em>food, Muslim people who have to eat halal food, and vegetarians who do not eat meat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s not a problem if we travel to a country that has a large population of the same religious adherents, but what if we travel to a country like Japan? Will it be hard to grab something to eat? Well, not really.<\/p>\n\n\nFood and Travel<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
