dear me. i have just consumed an entire ten dollar tub of pineapple tarts. are pineapple tarts halal? i want to send them to people in the states and i should probably put in an order now before the chinese new year rush. what goes into them? butter and eggs and pineapple mainly no? only meat can be halal or non-halal no? no one would have to worry about whether they butcher a pineapple the right way or not. but i wonder if they use lard in the pastry. and surely the pots that they make tarts with have to be uncontaminated by pork products also? and how would i know if they didn't make a chicken pie or charsiew bun with the same utensils? my pa says that if we ordered them from bengawan solo they would probably make halal ones because they don't do any meat products. hmm.
