You do realise you can ask them to change their gloves?

Alot of the time they will ask you (especially if you order the veggie) if you'd prefer them to change their gloves. But if they dont, you can ask. They only seem happy to do so.

Ive done it everytime I go in.

There is one in Manchester somewhere too. Not that I have ever ate anything from subway ever.

i'm having subway for lunch because of you people!

i hope your proud of yourselves!

Levenshulme. Its turkey ham not pig ham. All their meat is halal hence it doesn't matter about the gloves.

i have two subways in my town centre one is run by asians who dont give u unlimited refills and seem 2 go toilet in them too the other much better but still run by asians

Manchester has four stores which are halal, including Rochdale (obviously).

London has 148 stores... not that I've eaten in one, 10 of which are halal.

You can go to the website and search for your nearest store, it even has a box you can tick if you're looking for halal stores only.

you can never be 100% sure with anything. If you done your research and they say its halal then its up to you whether you believe them or not. I remeber reading that they import there meat from ireland which i thought was a bit dodgy coz there are bare places in UK that do halal meat.

Some say that all Nandos are haram even the ones that say they are halal. Oh an Share Khan in Trafford centre as well.

i know someone who refuses to eat any meat in Britain, because the methods of slaughter are not trustworthy. I read an expose in the Observer that visited halal slaughter houses, and they were told that around 95% of animals in Britain are stunned before slaughter (although all the workers are Muslim and they play a tape of the Quran in the background :? ), and many scholars say that this is not allowed.

Quote:

[b]Aids prior to slaughter[/b]

Generally it is believed that for humane killing stunning modes and methods have been in use for a long time. We all know that for sure it is not the fact and it is untrue. It is only a few decades old engineering and still is in experimental stages. It is the expediency of the machinery for the numbers and volume which the viable commercial enterprise requires, for some kind of immobilisation of animals on the slaughtering line, to avoid injury to all concerned and bruising of the carcass. Bruised and bloodshot parts are neither to be sold, nor are they allowed in any way in achieving required financial yields.

There are four known methods of rendering partially or completely immobilising the animals:

1. Captive bolt system used mainly on cattle
2. Gas system for asphyxiation
3. Electrical stunning for ovine animals and / or
4. Electric-water bath stunning, the type used for poultry

Captive bolt used on cattle smashes its brain to smithereens and this causes animal to die prior to slaughter. Hence it is irreversible procedure and cannot be deemed to be halal. Similarly gas smothers the animal or the bird and there is no known revival method, so this is also not allowed.

Since majority of abattoirs, because of the wordings of the EU directives or for some given reasons use stunning prior to slaughter, we at the Halal Food Authority have researched and scrutinised it. It was categorically then encapsulated in halal rules as stated earlier, that because of the possibility of death prior to slaughter, no stunning is allowed to be used to kill the animal. However, at the initiative of the Meat and Livestock Commission, Mr. Steve Wotton of Division of Food Animal Science of Department of Clinical Veterinary Science of the University of Bristol, has developed a prototype method of stunning and have produced a stunner together with Hellenic Co., by which the animal will not succumb to the shock and can also be sent back to grazing pasture duly revived. How does it work?

Unlike ordinary stunning method where animal loses only 50-60% of the blood volume at exsanguinations - that is bleeding in simple terms- because cardiac arrest takes place and animal never recovers consciousness and, there is a reduced convulsion. This somewhat fail safe new system of head-only stunning, is reversible. Electric dosage though is of high frequency and electrode are sharp, this pre slaughter stunning in not painful. It is defined as being at humane level and within the remit of the relevant EU law and with an auto-calibration system for current monitoring and there is a very accurate record of stunner's performance.

Logging systems enable a progress check separately on every animal individually. In test conditions it was found that animal whence slaughtered bled profusely with convulsions. Animals do revive naturally, within a safe period if spared from slaughter for whatever reason.

There could still be a prevailing opinion of a section that even this fail-safe method does not mirror to the Islamic requirement. For reasons that electric shock is unethical and, in the knowledge and opinion of the critics there is no guarantee of feasibility of revival. It has, time and again to the contrary to this belief, been proven that animals do regain consciousness within a desired period.

It is also argued that since even Jewish faith does not subscribe to stunning, why should the Muslims even contemplate to look at it. The evidence is that although the quantity of kosher meat is small and can be operated manually, it is now emerging that there is some leaning by some Rabbinical section towards the possibility of adopting the system. We Muslims have to be positive and should not appear to pre-typify technology and at the same time ensure that we do not change or seem to be changing the dietary laws as commanded by the Scripture, the Holy Qur`an and the Shari`ah, the Islamic jurisprudence.

Halal Food Authority is satisfied that this system is superior to, and there is potential for further improvisation and, safer than the one in use for halal slaughter in New Zealand and Australia. Thousands of tonnage of meat is exported from these aforementioned countries to a considerable number of Muslim States and, is used even here in the UK We are given to understand that Steve Wotton has nearly completed his work on Poultry Stunner Monitor as well, and this in due course could be a good news for providers of halal poultry and the consumers. Needless to say that there is a dire need of constant halal inspection, audit and stringent monitoring of the developing situation.

I've only been a few times and I think Subway is alright, but then I love salad and I could seriously live on sandwiches. But I hate it when they're soggy, yuck!!

The Nando's in my town is NOT halal.

I normally do not like sandwiches.

Hot food for the win.

you guys are nuts, subway is really good!

there are 4 types of bread which, when fresh, is soft and crumbly how bread ought to be. ok, as a Muslim all you get to choose is either tuna and salad or salad on its own, with or without cheese, but you CAN get it toasted if u want. the fact is that you can be SO picky with the salad: 'i want a bit less cucumber, more grated-carrots, a bit more, little bit more, NOT THAT MUCH! etc'. they even have jalapenos for all you spicey-mouthed asian folk. But the best thing, without a doubt, is the array of sauces and specifically the Honey and Mustard sauce, which mere superlatives could not do justice to. All that's left is the free refills (except for Fanzo's dodgy one) and cookies which rival Millies'. I've never had the halal meat, but in my kafir-scum days i tried chicken-teriyaki and it was might fine also.

And whats more, on Fridays tuna is 'sub of the day' and therefore extra cheap.

is that good enough?

Actually they have 6 different types of bread.

Although as a muslim you can only get tuna or salad, you should try the difference sauces as they tend to change the taste altogeather.

I always get 'all the salads' if im paying 1.99 for a sandwich I want everything going on it. Altho i can never be bothered getting it toasted.

toasted tuna with cheeze & salad

yumm
