One of the most pleasing things I have ever heard is that one can never act well, stay well, sleep well or enjoy well if they have not dined well. I believe that whoever wrote this knew that there would come a time when people would start searching for new foods and ways of eating that were more respectful of the product, the environment and the method of cooking. And it has come to pass. Halal foods are not just for Muslims only, but they have become a trend worldwide.
TAKEAWAY: “Halal” is the Islamic term used to designate those things that are permissible according to the Quran. So halal foods are those that respect a series of Islamic laws. For example, for meat to be halal, the animal must have been slaughtered under certain conditions. And, of course, pig or anything that comes from it is not halal. Fruit, vegetables, and grains are halal as long as they haven’t been prepared or mixed using forbidden ingredients such as alcohol, blood or animal shortening.
So if you’d like to try the best representatives of this kind of cuisine, here’s a list of some of the yummiest halal foods around the world.

Many people are intrigued by Turkey’s history and culture, a perfect meeting point between Europe and Asia. But few people know how this affects traditional Turkish cuisine making for some delicious halal dishes. This halal cuisine offers some of the best meals from the most simple ingredients, such as yogurt. Yogurt is present in many Turkish dishes. One example is “Çılbır” or “sultan eggs,” a traditional meal made of yogurt, poached eggs and oil. This simple halal food was eaten by Ottoman sultans in the 15th century, and still delights the taste buds of those who try it today.
