| Domino's dumps halal menu in UK because of poor sales |
| 2010-08-16 |
| DOMINO'S pizza stores which offered halal-only menus in the UK have switched back to traditional ingredients because of declining sales. I don't think there's any such thing as halal pepperoni... Three stores - in the UK cities of Birmingham, Bradford and Blackburn - switched to halal menus in January 2009, in a move which upset some non-Muslim customers. Halal sausage doesn't sound really tasty, either... The halal menu removed pork from Domino's pizzas. Muslims are banned from eating pork under religious law. And I won't even mention halal Canadian bacon. But after declining sales, Domino's Pizza released a statement today saying that: "we took the decision to trial a halal menu back in January 2009 ... However, the halal menu hasn't attracted the custom we had hoped it would, and we have decided to return to a conventional Domino's menu in all three of these stores." |

| #4 Pepperoni sounds like a fine substitute for that vegetarian soy protein nonsense to me. Although kielbasa would be better, generally speaking. |

| #3 I don't think there's any such thing as halal pepperoni... I once encountered a sutler at a Boy Scout summer camp who thought that pepperoni was a suitable vegetarian protein substitute. You'd be surprised how many people have no idea what's in things like sausages and pepperoni and hot dogs. |
