Does halal meat taste the same as normal meat?!

The Muslim butcher must say a prayer in arabic while he cuts the animals throat from right to left in order for the food to be Halal. Halal is a term designating any object or an action which is permissible to use or engage in, according to Islamic law. It is the opposite of haraam. The term is used to designate food seen as permissible according to Islamic law Yet it tastes like regular meat but its HALAL .

From what I've read, the term halal generally refers to the method of slaughter and not to any particular breed of animal or to any particular method of cooking. So, yes, it would taste the same as "normal" meat. Halal also appears to make reference to the avoidance of any carnivorous animals, which suggests that animals such as chickens and cows can only be grain-fed, and cannot have been fed any animal by-products.

That being said, it should be made clear that any method of animal slaughter for the purpose of food production, even halal, is fairly nasty. It's done as humanely as possible, but they're not exactly singing these animals to sleep before chopping them up. Halal slaughter appears to involve slicing the animal's throat quickly and deeply, whereas more typical slaughter methods include shooting the animal in the head, decapitation, stunning it electrically or rendering it unconscious with carbon monoxide before ultimately bleeding it out and butchering. If any of those methods of dispatch were applied to a human being, I'm pretty sure it would be considered to be a "horrific murder".

How exactly did you think they were being killed?

If you had a problem with 'horrifically murdered animals', then why would you eat meat at all? To answer your question is the same meat, just horrifically murdered in a different way. I have muslim family and christian family and even atheist/agnostic/buddhist/hindu family and friends who have not noticed when they're eating halal. Obviously it depends on how you cook the meat on how it would taste i.e. some people don't season their meat, so that would taste different to meat which is seasoned.

Personally I think there is a problem, especially in the western world regarding the treatment of and rearing of animals for food. That's why I am pescetarian. In Islam we are supposed to look after the world which includes the animals in it.

halal taste = identical
halal difference = ethically born, breed and slaughtered.
