Re: [Wikimania-l] Dietary preferences (bachounda)

Hello

I think according Sunnis Muslims can eat kosher food
all foods are halal except meats if they are prepared according to Muslim
rites.
mexico has only 0.02% of Muslims ;I doubt that halal food is on sale in
stores

if the organizers may specify the Ingrediens of food that would be ideal
and best wish for all

in london replaced meat with fish to compensate for the protein deficiency

in addition 7 days without meat is not so severe

best



 I happen to live in a neighborhood of Brooklyn with both extensive Kosher
 and Halal options (which is probably not a coincidence, since there is
 significant overlap in rules).  But Mexico City has a different cultural
 mix than New York City or London.

 I can understand, though, that it may be too expensive and difficult to get
 Kosher or Halal meat, or indeed fully catered meals, for Wikimania in
 Mexico City.

 Bur I would suggest going to a supermarket and getting something like a
 pre-packaged hummus with K and H marks, and some plain fruits and
 vegetables, so folks like this can at least have snack options during the
 conference sessions, and that can tide them over if they want to go out for
 a full meal fulfilling their dietary preferences later.

 Thanks,
 Richard

There are even people who live years or decades without eating meat ;-)
