    Q. "What's the difference between Halal and Glatt Kosher?"

    A. 2,000 years of internecine warfare and religious strife.

    I get your point, RisingDamp666. There are, however, a number of technical differences between Halal and Glatt Kosher. See for a more thorough explanation.

    Judaism and Islam are different religions with different dietary laws, but for moslems who cannot find halal food eating kosher food is an acceptable alternative. I am not sure where you got the 2000 years of warfare, but Islam did not begin as a religion until the 600s and I believe most of the "warfare and religious strife" began in the 1900s (centering around the creation of the modern state of Israel which was created in 1948).

    Thank you to Buffalo Rising for this article I have been wanting to find pastries and it looks like there are a few possibilities here.

    We were recently on a trip to Egypt. We ate traditional foods and one item in particular that I loved was koftta. Could I buy this at any of these featured markets? Thank you!
