It's Halal!

Paris (France) - August 1978; it was a hot August day and we hopped the entryways at the Place D'italie Metro heading towards Montmartre to search for some Arab nourishment. English was not a broadly utilized language at that point despite the fact that I trust it was a required subject educated in French schools at that point; so getting around in Paris knowing extremely negligible French at that point was very precarious. The most widely recognized reaction to our questions was "No Anglais." Montmartre is the place you can discover Parisian inhabitants of Middle East plunge and what we were searching for, nourishment arranged by Muslims. Europe during the 70s was not a spot where you could without much of a stretch discover Muslim or Halal nourishment. Presently, every one of that has radically changed.

Prague (Czech Republic) - January 2017; it was a freezing morning with light snow showers when we arrived at Václav Havel Prague Airport. We took a van to the city and promptly set out to search for some nourishment. Being in a previous socialist nation, we had essentially brought down our desires for discovering halal nourishment. Causing us a deep sense of shock, there were many center eastern eateries, walkway booths, and markets selling halal nourishment and fixings.

France, which values constantly keeping up its culinary legacy and norms, presently delivers halal French cooking for neighborhood utilization and fare.
