In this region here, food is as important as life itself... and that's because we have the richest flavors in each meal.
With Arabs being the food-centric people they are, "halal" was bound to take over the international food scene sooner or later.
Halal food, meaning permitted food, is the dietary standard for muslims to follow. It can range from a list of allowed items to consume, to certain techniques of butchery.
From halal food bloggers - aka halaloodies - to prepackaged halal food, here are a few halal foodies to follow:
